Evening & weekend flexibility required for events; time-in-lieu offered. 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.
