An advocacy organization with a focus on foreign affairs and national headquarters offices in Washington, DC is looking to engage a video and motion graphics-savvy Post Production Coordinator in a full-time, temporary role that will start in late August or early September 2024 and continue for seven (7) months, through March 2025. 

This hybrid position will offer a guaranteed weekly wage plus an overtime differential. Please see details regarding work hours, the pay rate and wage terms below. The organization offers employees the opportunity to work from home two days each week, on Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Brainstorm Creative Resources is asking qualified applicants to self-select and apply for either this Post Production Coordinator role or a similar Post Production Manager job that we have posted simultaneously. The job descriptions are nearly identical. 

We've chosen to recruit for this role at two experience levels because the employer has not yet fully determined the depth of experience that will be necessary. We will consider all applications to both positions, but we will only be filling one role. 

Applicants who believe they could be happy with either title, and with either rate range, are encouraged to apply for both positions. It's as simple as checking two boxes in the application process, instead of one. 

Brainstorm Creative Resources is recruiting for this position at the request of the hiring organization -- a group we have supported on an annual basis, on a wide variety of hiring efforts for more than fifteen years. We typically post salary and rate ranges in public-facing job descriptions but we do not typically include employer names. If you are interested in applying for this position, we hope you will allow us to represent you, rather than working independently to identify the hiring organization so that you can inquire with them directly. We will share the employer name with the most well qualified applicants.
