•  Edit and repurpose long-form video content into short-form formats for digital and social media platforms, including vertical and platform-native formats (e.g., Reels, Shorts, TikTok), thereby extending the lifecycle and reach of major productions.
• Support live and hybrid event production activities by assisting with production scheduling, vendor coordination, run-of-show documentation, and post-event content delivery.
• Assist with maintenance of AWF’s media and story asset bank, ensuring content is properly tagged, archived, and accessible through digital asset management systems.
•  Support equipment inventory documentation and basic asset tracking in coordination with the Manager, Media Production.
• Collaborate closely with Strategic Communications & Marketing, Creative & Web teams to ensure media outputs are aligned with campaign objectives, digital strategies, and brand guidelines.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of production workflows, tools, and processes, supporting efficiency, consistency, and quality across AWF’s media outputs.
• Support basic monitoring and documentation of audio-visual deliverables, including tracking outputs and assisting with reporting on reach, engagement, and production effectiveness.
