The University of Virginia School of Engineering & Applied Science seeks a versatile storyteller to produce video, audio and photo content for our website and social media channels, as a member of a dynamic communications team that showcases our school’s world-class research and education programs. The stories we seek to tell are not ordinary. Our best stories show how our faculty and students are making the world a better place for humanity —discovering cures for deadly diseases, designing new generations of technology and contributing to a more sustainable, just society. The multimedia producer will report to the UVA Engineering executive director of communications and collaborate with other communications team members, faculty, staff and students to tell UVA Engineering’s most compelling stories — aligned with our mission, vision and core values — using the most effective media.

• collaborating on creative and editorial decision-making;
• ordering, maintaining and securely storing equipment needed for video production and photography; and
• properly archiving photos and videos in the school’s and University’s digital asset management systems.

The multimedia producer will also work closely with our in-house and external graphic designers and provide input and tips or training to other team members on basic skills such as taking good cell phone photos for social media.
