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
  • 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
  • What difference will you make?

    BCI is an expert-led platform that helps governments, inter-governmental and regional organisations as well as relevant corporations, negotiate the complex landscape of emerging technologies for environmental good. We research, identify and analyse the applications of emerging technologies so that informed decisions can be made by leading stakeholders in the global climate change and action network.

    The BCI Communications team aims to tell the BCI story and our role in driving innovation to mitigate climate change and create a cleaner and greener future. As a think-tank and advocacy group for such a major issue, we understand the importance of being a credible expert and advisor which is why it is essential to demonstrate our research-driven approach to the relevant stakeholders.

    What You’ll Gain

  • A creative leadership role shaping how BCI is seen and understood through video
  • Exposure to high-profile global events and multilateral work (e.g., COP coverage)
  • A mission-driven portfolio aligned with climate and tech innovation
  • Freedom to propose and develop new content formats in collaboration with a global team
