Summary Motion Media (M2), the film and video production division of Jackson Dawson, is seeking an experienced Multimedia Specialist to plan, produce, and deliver high-quality photo and video content for our internal brand and for a portfolio of automotive OEM and enterprise clients. As a member of the Motion Media team, this role contributes to projects from concept through final deliverable — including pre-production planning, on-set capture, editing, and post-production — while collaborating with producers, creative directors, account leads, and clients to bring their vision to life. The ideal candidate is a versatile storyteller and hands-on production professional who is equally comfortable behind the camera, in the edit suite, and in a client-facing conversation. They bring strong technical fluency across the Adobe Creative Suite, disciplined project management, and the judgment to elevate creative work while keeping shoots and timelines on track.

Record, edit, mix, and master audio for video, podcasts, voiceovers, and event content. Design and create motion graphics, title sequences, and basic visual effects to enhance video deliverables; support graphic and photo retouching needs as required. Ensure all deliverables meet brand, quality, technical spec, and licensing/release requirements before final handoff. Own day-to-day production workflow across concurrent projects — timelines, deliverables, reviews, approvals, asset delivery, archive and library — ensuring on-time, on-budget execution. Collaborate on pre-production - as needed - for photo and video projects, including creative briefs, shot lists, and equipment prep. Operate as a camera operator for studio, on-location, and event-based shoots. Direct talent and crew as needed to achieve the creative vision. Continuously evaluate and improve production workflows, equipment, and post-production pipelines; maintain organized media libraries, backups, and version control. Other duties as assigned. Qualifications 5+ years of professional experience in multimedia production, video production, photography, or a related creative role — agency, in-house corporate, or broadcast environment preferred. Bachelor's degree in Film, Video Production, Digital Media, Communications, Marketing, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience. Demonstrated portfolio and reel showcasing end-to-end photo and video work across a range of formats (broadcast, digital, social, event, training). Deep, hands-on proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite — Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Lightroom. Strong working knowledge of current AI creative solutions such as Eleven Labs audio, Runway and Adobe Firefly visual tools. Strong working knowledge of pre-production, production, and post-production processes, including lighting, audio capture, color, and finishing. Proficiency with professional camera systems, lenses, lighting kits, and audio equipment. Excellent organizational, project management, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines. Client-ready communication and presentation skills; comfortable interfacing directly with internal stakeholders and client contacts. A collaborative, accountable, and solutions-oriented mindset, with the professionalism to represent Motion Media on set and in front of clients. Preferred Qualifications Experience producing content for automotive OEMs or other enterprise/agency clients. Experience with Blackmagic cameras and studio production systems. Working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve for color grading and/or finishing. Familiarity with drone/aerial capture (FAA Part 107 certification a plus). Experience with live event capture, multi-camera productions, or in-studio broadcast environments. Basic 3D, animation, or advanced motion design capabilities. Work Environment This role includes a mix of studio, on-location, and post-production work. Occasional travel and non-standard hours will be required to support shoots, client events, and delivery deadlines. This is a hybrid position with 2-3 days in the office per week - and as needed.
