Video Production Coordinator

Eagle County Government Careers • Eagle, CO

7d • Onsite

About The Position

The Communications Department is seeking a high-caliber Video Production Coordinator to join our team and drive the visual identity of Eagle County Government Television (ECG-TV). Designed for an expert-level video editor and photographer, this role requires an experienced media professional with at least 5 years of experience managing live productions in high-pressure environments. Navigating the multi-faceted organization across dozens of departments, you will act as a full-cycle creative lead—taking projects from initial concept through scriptwriting, shooting, and final delivery. A background in fast-paced news editing is ideal, bringing the speed, storytelling precision, and editorial judgment necessary to translate complex public service initiatives into compelling visual stories. As a technical anchor for our broadcast operations, you will oversee both production aesthetics and backend infrastructure. The ideal candidate pairs post-production skills with a strong foundation in media asset management (MAM) systems, network management, and broadcast engineering concepts. You must be equally confident directing a full creative shoot as you are working autonomously during live broadcasts, where real-time troubleshooting and independent problem-solving are essential. Whether optimizing workflows for short-form social media video or delivering live government proceedings, you are expected to hit the ground running on day one—offering strategic insights, technical solutions, and a high standard of creative leadership.
