Video & Content Lead

Human Agency is building a content engine and needs a video craftsperson to capture, shape, and distribute stories about AI, the humans leading this transformation, and the organizations it works with across podcasts, short-form, long-form, and editorial thought leadership. The role works closely with leadership and requires some travel for occasional shoots.

Responsibilities

Podcast Production: Edit and produce two-to-four podcast episodes per month, from raw audio and video to polished, publish-ready episodes (including sound design, sequencing, and any supporting assets); Short-Form Social Content: Cut long-form source material into compelling short-form pieces every month; Documentary & Long-Form Projects: Take on occasional long-form production work, from shoot support through final cut; Editorial Judgment: Identify the moments inside raw recordings that carry weight, and build around those; Content Distribution: Handle production for relevant platforms; understand how format, framing, and metadata affect reach and retention; Creative Contribution: Bring your own ideas to the table (better angles, stronger hooks, and production choices)

Requirements

Classically trained video editor with a professional body of work that demonstrates technical depth, not just proficiency with the tools; Fluent in industry-standard editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent), and fast enough to meet a real production schedule; Demonstrated experience cutting podcasts and long-form interview content into tight, publishable episodes; Track record of taking long-form source material and extracting short-form social content that actually performs; Comfortable working across formats (YouTube, podcast platforms, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) and understands that what works on one doesn't work on all; Experience with thought leadership and editorial-style production; A personal or side project that shows you make content because you love it; You can receive a dump of raw material (interviews, voice memos, rough footage) and know what to do with it without needing a brief for every decision; You hold yourself to a standard that exists independent of what the client asks for; You move fast without getting sloppy, and you flag problems early instead of delivering late; You have opinions about what makes content work, and you're willing to make the case for them, then let the best idea win; You're built for ambiguity: scope shifts, timelines compress, and priorities rearrange; you adapt without drama; You want your fingerprints on something that matters
