Video Presenter, Tom's Guide

You'll join a collaborative video team within Tom's Guide, one of the world's fastest-growing digital destinations. Our mission is to help people make smarter choices about the gadgets they use every day, and video is a major part of how we bring that mission to life.

The video team sits at the intersection of editorial and branded content, working with writers, editors, and producers to create content that both informs and entertains. We're expanding to further accelerate our distribution of short-form vertical videos daily and several mid-to-long form YouTube episodes each week — varying from hands-on product tests and hero-style narratives to shoppable livestreams and branded content campaigns.

We're looking for a Video Producer to support our growing slate of productions across platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Firework. You'll be the connective tissue between the producers, talent, editors, and commercial departments/external vendors on branded content. We're counting on this role to ensure that each project runs on time, has a well-managed production budget, sources freelance work, and has a coordinated upload strategy.

You'll build processes to manage the logistical and operational details that keep our shoots running smoothly, from pre-production planning through post-production delivery. This is a hands-on role for someone who's energized by helping editorial teams do their best work. We're looking for someone with production knowledge throughout all the steps it takes to bring video to life.
