• An awareness of the video space – you are inspired by the rapid changes happening within it – and have a hunger to learn
• Exceptional communication skills – you're skilled at working on a team, and problem, and being flexible so you can roll with whatever challenges arise, client or internal
• A strong, proven ability to teach analytic skills to others, developing, encouraging, and inspiring them to grow
• Willingness to travel as needed – you're open to new places, new faces, and new ideas
• Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL·E, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation
