    Job Description

    You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.

    In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.

    When you join us, you will have:

    • Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
    • A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You'll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
    • Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm's diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
    • Exceptional benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.

    You will work closely with the multimedia and visual storytelling teams, which produce the firms long-form videos, video podcasts, Shorts, clips, and thumbnails, as well as colleagues across Brand Marketing, Global Publishing, Social, Editorial, and Analytics.

    Youll interact regularly with producers, editors, designers, analysts, and stakeholders across the firm.

    You will own the firms digital media platform channel, managing how video assets are placed, packaged, and presented to audiences. You will upload and schedule long-form videos, video podcasts, Shorts, and clips delivered by the multimedia team. You will write clear, compelling titles and descriptions, apply consistent tagging and metadata, and build and maintain playlists so the channel stays clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate.

    You will track channel performance in the firms digital media platform and other analytics tools and turn what you find into practical recommendations on content strategy. That includes which formats, topics, and series to prioritize, how often and when to publish, and how to package content for discovery and repeat viewing. You will share regular performance insights with the multimedia team and stakeholders, flag opportunities for new Shorts, clips, or series, and give feedback to the Visual Storytelling team on thumbnails and other creative elements based on what the data shows. You will run and evaluate tests on titles, thumbnails, and publishing timing to improve results over time.

    You will also coordinate the publishing calendar with the multimedia team, the central production team, and program stakeholders, making sure assets arrive on time, meet channel standards, and launch in line with broader firm priorities.
