Business Insider’s video team is seeking a Videographer and Editor to create original content for our flagship shows How Crime Works, Authorized Account and The Pay Check among others. 

Role

Authorized Account is an interview-based series speaking to experts who share their accounts of secretive organizations and businesses usually hidden from public view. How Crime Works explains the mechanics of the criminal underworld through interviews with reformed criminals, whistleblowers, and law enforcement officers.

As an editor on the team, you'll play an important role in bringing these formats to life.

The role involves attending shoots, both in-person in the New York office and with international studios via video link. As an editor, you'll source footage, edit, and oversee post-production.
