Video Production Manager
About the role
The Video Production Manager will oversee the creation and execution of all educational and marketing video content for Viam. Reporting to the VP of Education, this role will be instrumental in developing and maintaining a robust video content strategy that aligns with Viam’s mission and educational goals.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end production for Viam’s educational and marketing video content; from pre-production planning through final delivery, including tutorials, product demos, webinars, and event coverage.
- Bring editorial judgment to every brief: shaping story structure, refining hooks, and making packaging decisions (titles, thumbnails, chapter breaks) that strengthen audience engagement and channel identity.
- Camera operation and lighting setup for both studio and on-location shoots, capturing clean, professional footage across a range of formats.
- Audio capture and post-production; recording setups and mixing that hold up whether you’re in a controlled studio or on a conference floor.
- Still photography for web, media, and corporate use; headshots, office life, product photography, and event coverage.
- Long-form post-production editing in Final Cut Pro or equivalent, with an eye for pacing and clarity that serves a technical audience.
- In addition to long-form educational video, supporting key video projects including reels, product demos, social videos, and customer storytelling, always rooted in substance for a technical audience.
- Contribute to format development, recognizing what's working across Viam's channels and helping evolve recurring content formats over time.
Requirements
Demonstrated experience producing and editing long-form technical or educational video content -- courses, tutorials, product demos, or webinars. A strong portfolio is required.
Professional camera operation skills, comfortable with a range of camera systems and lighting setups in both studio and field conditions.
Professional still photography capabilities, including corporate headshots, event coverage, and web-ready imagery.
Audio engineering experience; you can capture and mix clean audio in environments you didn’t control in advance.
Proficiency in Final Cut Pro or comparable NLE software. If you work in a different toolchain, you can make the case for why it’s the right call.
Comfort working as the only production person in the room. You’ve built or rebuilt a production function before, or you’re ready to, and you don’t need a playbook handed to you.
Experience giving creative direction to other producers, editors, or freelancers, even informally.
Nice to have: experience producing content specifically for a developer or technical audience (education platforms, DevRel programs, technical documentation video).
Bonus for light animation and video graphics skills.
Qualifications
Viam is looking for a self-motivated individual who is passionate about creating high-quality educational and marketing content. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in video production and editing, as well as experience working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
