Weve helped thousands of people effectively tell their stories through relevance and authenticity. They fly to Austin, spend a few days on campus, and gain a tremendous amount of knowledge in a short amount of time.
As a non-profit educational institution, our mandate is to educate - and were now investing in video to do that on a broader scale. Thats where you come in.
Specifically, well be using video content to connect with our community, share relevant messages, and teach courageous people how to turn their dreams into reality. That means we have opportunities for many kinds of videos. (Educational videos / Testimonials / Interviews / Funny shorts / YouTube series / Etc.)
This job offers a lot of creative flexibility, but not at the expense of speed and productivity. There will always be fresh projects nipping at your heels, so you must be able to go from idea to execution with the available tools and time. In other words, this job is all about - Getting Things Done.
So whats the catch?
The learning curve is steep. Itll take you a few months to really settle in.
You have zero chance of landing this job as a freelancer. This is a full-time position.
We are in deep South Austin (by Salt Lick BBQ). Make sure the commute is practical before applying.

Put the word, #TOWER somewhere in your reply, and well give your resume the same respect youve given this job description. Well actually read it!
