Job Description

THIS IS AN UNPAID VOLUNTEERING ROLE.

Role Title: Video Designer

Role Nature: Volunteer (Unpaid)

Location: Remote

Reports to: Senior Communications Manager 

Works closely with: Social Media Director, Graphic Designers, Web Designers, PR & Content Team 

Role Overview 

We’re looking for a fast, creative, and narrative-driven Video Designer to bring BCI’s story to life through motion. This role involves both editing raw footage (from interviews, field recordings, and events) and creating original video content — including animated explainers, social video series, and visual assets for web and campaigns. 

The ideal candidate understands the intersection of policy, tech, and storytelling — and knows how to shape these ideas into videos that are accessible, emotionally engaging, and brand-consistent. 

Key Responsibilities 

Content Creation 

  • Produce short- and long-form video content for BCI’s platforms — including social, website, presentations, and campaigns 

     
  • Edit footage from live or virtual events, interviews, and partner sessions 

     
  • Create animated explainer videos, infographics, and motion graphics based on scripts and strategic goals 

     
  • Develop short-form videos tailored for social platforms (Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn) 

     
  • Translate internal content briefs into storyboards or visual sequences 

     
  • Source background music, captions, or voiceover elements where needed 

     

Brand & Storytelling Alignment 

  • Ensure visual consistency with BCI’s brand identity and video standards 

     
  • Collaborate with Graphic Designers and Social Media Director on cohesive visual campaigns 

     
  • Communicate complex concepts like blockchain, climate finance, or MRV into simple visual narratives 

     
  • Pitch ideas for content series, campaigns, or public-facing storytelling formats 

     

Technical & Collaborative Work 

  • Work with the Web and Communications teams to embed video into landing pages, blogs, or presentations 

     
  • Ensure all content is optimized for platform specs, mobile performance, and accessibility 

     
  • Maintain an organized library of video assets, templates, and raw footage 

     
  • Support rapid-turnaround edits when events or external developments require real-time content 

     

Requirements

Skills & Experience 

  • Demonstrated experience in video editing and motion design 

     
  • Ability to move quickly from idea to execution, with a collaborative and solutions-oriented mindset 

     
  • Strong visual instincts, sense of pacing, and storytelling structure 

     
  • Comfort working across multiple projects simultaneously and meeting quick deadlines 

     
  • Passion for climate action, sustainability, or technology storytelling 

     

Tools & Platforms 

  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve 

     
  • Familiarity with quick-turn tools (Adobe Express, Canva, or CapCut) 

     
  • Bonus: experience with 3D or visual effects tools (Cinema 4D, Blender) 

     
  • Familiarity with cloud collaboration tools (Trello, Teams) 

     

Portfolio Requirement 

  • Please include work samples showing a range of formats — social video, explainer, and interview/recap edits
