Part Time Social Media Video Producer

The Audience Development team is looking for a part-time Social Video Producer to create original and innovative short-form, vertical video for KQED’s social media channels. This video creator should have a deep understanding of TikTok and Instagram and be able to transition seamlessly between video creation and community engagement while maintaining KQED’s editorial standards.

The Social Video Producer has the ability to own every aspect of video production — from originating the story’s initial concept and pitching through production and video editing. The ideal candidate for this role excels at one-person productions and is passionate about translating today’s social media trends into digestible videos that showcase the KQED brand and strengthen audience engagement.

This is a part-time, hybrid position.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

The mission that drives us:

KQED provide citizens of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.
