We look for individuals who are passionate about advancing conservative public policy and embody servant leadership. With a strong belief in personal responsibility, we trust our people and want to empower them to make the right decisions for the right reasons - this is why it is crucial we bring the right people on board.

• Export deliverables to correct platform specs and maintain versioning as needed.

• Maintain organized project files and media; follow team naming/storage conventions.

• Receive and implement feedback quickly; collaborate closely with producers and stakeholders to hit deadlines.

• Travel on occasion for shoots outside the office.

Qualifications:

• A deep commitment to the principles of liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise.

• 12 years of experience (internships/portfolio work welcome); portfolio required.

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro acceptable with strong portfolio).

• Solid editorial judgment (story clarity, pacing, attention to detail).

• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and thrive in a fast?paced environment.

• Strong communication and a team?first, solutions?oriented attitude.
