Job Title: Video Production Intern

Reports to: Media & Marketing Director

MISSION STATEMENT

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (ONC) seeks to reduce partisanship and promote effective solutions to America’s challenges. Powered by America’s youth, we host a media outlet, produce educational materials and facilitate dialogue intended to make America a better country.

The Video Production Intern will contribute to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by assisting within the Media & Marketing department. This position assists with:

• Preproduction support: research episode topics, guests, and relevant visuals; prepare notes and episode outlines.
• Scripting & formatting: draft episode scripts, segment cues, and social clip captions.
• Remote recording assistance: run virtual recording sessions (e.g. Zoom), monitor audio/video quality, troubleshoot basic tech issues.
• Audio editing: clean up dialogue (noise reduction, EQ, level matching), assemble multi-track sessions, and export final episode masters.
• Video editing: create episode video edits, picture-in-picture or speaker cuts, and repurpose long-form content into short clips.
• Managing the media folder within the ONC Google drive.
• Effectively communicate (Slack, Email, Zoom) and attend meetings.

This position is remote, with work primarily conducted over Zoom and Slack, so applicants must be comfortable coordinating in a remote environment and are expected to maintain a high level of communication.

Compensation: This is not a paid position.

Benefits: Flexible schedule, college credit (where applicable), and resume-building experience.

Qualifications

The Video Production Team Lead should have the following skills, education, and experience:

• Working towards a degree in Film Production, Broadcast Journalism, Digital Media, Visual/Fine Arts, and/or related fields

• Responsive, consistent, and effective communicator, even during conflict
