Video Producer - Reach & Engagement

You'll join the multimedia team within McKinsey’s Reach & Engagement function, which produces the firm's podcasts and videos.

You'll be part of the video team, reporting to its lead video producer and working alongside a video coordinator, podcast producers, and designers. You'll collaborate with editors and subject-matter experts, including senior McKinsey partners and executives at leading organizations, as well as colleagues who manage the firm's YouTube and social channels.

You will produce videos from first idea to final cut. You will work with McKinsey authors and experts to identify topics that matter to a global business audience. You'll take an active part in pitch meetings, conduct research, and develop storylines and scripts. You will prepare hosts and interviewees with questions and talking points and run studio and remote recording sessions.

You will edit long-form videos and video podcasts, and cut Shorts, clips, and vertical formats for various social media and marketing platforms. You'll add graphics, captions, and motion elements as needed, and work with designers on thumbnails and other visuals. You will deliver finished assets to the channel team, along with the context they need to package and publish them well.

You will make sure every video meets the firm's editorial style and its risk and reputation guidelines. You'll work with stakeholders to resolve changes and manage approvals, and you'll juggle multiple projects at once so each one ships on deadline. You'll stay current on business news and the firm's research so content reflects the public conversation. You will also review performance data with analytics colleagues to improve formats over time.

You will use generative AI (gen AI) tools to speed up production, such as for transcription, logging footage, rough cuts, and captioning. You'll also help the team test new tools and workflows.
