We seek a video producer to develop, shoot, and edit short documentaries for Atlantic Studios. This person should be able to work independently to carry stories from pitch to publication.

Most of all, this producer understands The Atlantic’s editorial ambitions and what makes for a compelling Atlantic documentary.

Responsibilities Include:
• Researching, pitching, shooting, and editing original documentary videos
• Balancing multiple projects and deadlines with grace and skill
• Mentoring and training junior staff

• A track record of success creating compelling short documentaries for the web
• A creative, innovative sensibility and high editorial standards

• Excellent attention to detail, thoroughness, and accuracy
• A love of collaboration and experimentation
Atlantic Media Values:
Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two “pillar gifts” in you, and everyone else. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions –
• Force of Ideas: At the center of Atlantic Media work are the ideas within our writing. We believe that ideas – to the good and not – have consequence. Our highest work is bringing rigor, insight, intellectual honesty, to that ultimate purpose of separating the bad from the good, and giving voice to the latter.
• Spirit of Generosity: Atlantic Media seeks in its ranks a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition in each colleague toward service and selfless conduct. Atlantic Media writing should be cut from the same cloth –critical on the merits but informed by charity and forbearance in measuring motive and personal character.
Atlantic Media is an EOE of Minorities/Women/Vets/Disability.
