The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is seeking a versatile video journalist to conceive and create daily social videos for the next generation of changemakers about what’s happening in the world and why it’s relevant to them.
The strongest candidates will love being on-camera, have an authentic and engaging presence, and a track record of reporting, producing and editing daily social-first videos that have connected with people on several platforms. The ideal candidate will also have some experience with longer-form videos that dive deep into explaining complex subjects.
This journalist will work with speed and accuracy to brainstorm ideas, collaborate on concept development, and report, produce and edit distinctive videos that grow our audience and reach on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This job will be most meaningful to a creative thinker with a passion for experimentation and a drive for excellence, who believes in the power of stories to change the world.
You will be attuned to the most pressing global concerns and able to spot ways to provide authentic, platform-native video in response. Your work will help audiences explain the news to their friends, provide context in group chats, and actively engage in making the world more equitable.
This is a collaborative, hands-on team looking for an on-camera social video journalist who is impeccably accurate, relentlessly curious, and who understands how to connect consistently with viewers and interest them in the important global events of the day.
The position is a hybrid role and requires occasional in-person attendance at our Downtown Chicago location based on work activities and peak seasons. The position reports to the Supervising Producer.
