About The Position

Change.org is hiring a Video Producer for its US Communications team to create quick-turnaround news videos and explainers for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

The Video Producer will collaborate with the US social team to pitch and test repeatable formats, work with petition starters to gather footage and voices, and use audience results to improve hooks, pacing, and formats. The role may also involve presenting or narrating videos when appropriate, while keeping petition starters at the center of the story. The position is a three-month fixed-term role with possible extension, based in the United States.

• Ability to edit quickly using tools such as Descript and Adobe Creative Cloud, and use AI to accelerate video work.
• Ability to develop, test, and adapt creative formats and series ideas.
• Strong storytelling and editorial judgment, including the ability to identify the human story in a petition, communicate clearly and accurately under time pressure, and understand the US news cycle.

• Comfort presenting on camera or narrating on mic.
• Willingness to support campaigns that follow Change.org community guidelines, including campaigns the candidate may personally disagree with.
