**Urgency** Immediate joiner preferred

We are hiring a hands-on Creative Media Producer to lead all visual storytelling for the school - photography, video, reels, event coverage, portraits, and campaign assets. This is an individual-contributor-plus-lead role: the person shoots, edits, and finishes work personally, while also directing junior/contract creators and holding the quality bar across the team's output.

This role sits within the Strategic Advancement Team and reports to the Communications & Marketing Manager. It functions as an execution partner to the wider Advancement and Communications function, translating brand strategy into consistent, high-impact content across every platform.

## Requirements

**Key Responsibilities**

**Production**

-   Shoot photography and video across campus life, events, portraits, and campaigns.
-   Edit and deliver finished short films end-to-end - raw footage through cut, grade, sound, and titles.
-   Build complete social reels and posts, matched to platform and campaign.
-   Maintain a consistent visual standard in line with our brand guidelines.

**Delivery & Planning**

-   Own the production calendar - what's due, when, and dependencies.
-   Turn a brief into a shoot plan independently.
-   Flag deadline risks early, with a proposed fix.
-   Manage the media library (with the junior photographer/videographer) so assets are findable, named consistently, and archived properly.

**Collaboration**

-   Work respectfully and professionally with faculty, students, school leaders, and families - with care around consent and student privacy.

**Must-Have Qualifications**

-   Professional photography and video production experience, with a portfolio showing range: film, event coverage, portraiture, short-form social.
-   Strong editing skills - Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop, Premiere Pro or Final Cut, plus grading, sound, and basic motion graphics.
-   Confident running a shoot solo - camera, lighting, and audio kit.
-   Proven track record hitting deadlines across multiple concurrent projects.
-   Fluent English; comfortable in a multicultural environment.

**Preferred / Nice-to-Have**

-   Experience in education, community organizations, or another environment involving children.
-   Experience directing or supervising at least one other creative.
-   Drone / aerial experience.

**Success Indicators (What “Right” Looks Like)**

-   Spots what needs filming without being told.
-   Delivers a finished piece, not a rough cut with a list of caveats.
-   Takes creative direction well, and can also push back with a better idea.
-   Comfortable being the one who says the work isn't ready yet.

**Professional Expectations**

-   Ethical judgment, discretion, and respect for confidentiality.
-   Energy, initiative, and a solutions-oriented mindset.
-   Builds trust across a diverse, international community.
-   Professionalism, curiosity, and openness to feedback.

**Sourcing Notes** 

-   This is a NON-hybrid, fully in-office role based in Chennai - screen only candidates willing to relocate to / already based in Chennai and work on-site full-time.
-   Candidates with a strong, varied portfolio (short films, event coverage, portraits, reels) over pure specialists in one format.
-   Producer-editors who can run a solo shoot end-to-end, not just crew members who need a director.
-   Prior experience with schools, NGOs, or other child-facing environments is a strong plus given safeguarding requirements.
-   Mandatory application asks: CV, short covering note, portfolio/showreel link, at least one end-to-end edited short film, and one set of reels.
