Voice, networks and visual identity

Communication & social media team

The social media specialists run their accounts, write their scripts, and film and publish their own formats; you produce the clips drawn from long recordings: webinars and online exchanges, podcast episodes, lab videos. This is a volunteer role in the communication and social media team: you report to the Communication Strategy Lead.

Assignments

  • Spot the strongest moments in each recording, starting from the timecodes noted by the host or the technical producer
  • Edit vertical clips that grab attention in the first seconds, with one clear idea and a crisp ending
  • Burn in readable subtitles, checked with the Subtitler and Video Translator
  • Apply the lab’s identity using the Lab Motion Designer’s templates
  • Deliver clips to the TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook specialists and to the YouTube Specialist, who publish them on their networks
  • Prepare video clips of podcast episodes with the Podcast Producer
  • Check, for each clip, the image and voice consent of every person filmed, and a parent’s agreement for every minor
  • Keep the clip library in Drive and review each video’s retention with the specialists

Tools to master

  • DaVinci Resolve: vertical editing, burnt-in subtitles and export
  • Descript, on the association’s account: finding passages from the transcript
  • Canva: templates in each lab’s colours
  • Google Drive: the clip library

How we measure success

  • Every webinar turned into clips within the following week
  • Clips watched to the end

Profile we are looking for

  • Regular practice of vertical video editing
  • A feel for hooks and pacing
  • Faithfulness to what the people filmed actually said
  • Reliability with deadlines
  • Open to adults aged eighteen and over
