Visual Storyboard Specialist (Stock Media & AI Focus)

We are currently seeking a creative and detail-oriented Visual Storyboard Specialist to join our production team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between written scripts and final video production. You will be responsible for visualizing complex corporate training scripts (in Business, Finance, Compliance, Safety, and Tech) by selecting high-quality stock footage (B-roll), generating AI-based visuals, and designing vector assets. You will act as the visual architect of the course, creating detailed storyboards and selecting all necessary media assets to be handed over to our Motion Graphics team for final compositing. You must understand the video production process to provide usable, relevant assets that match the concept of the script.

• AI-Enhanced Visualization: Utilize Generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Adobe Firefly) to create unique visual concepts or images when specific stock media is unavailable. 

• Storyboarding: Create comprehensive storyboards that map out the visual flow of the lesson, indicating which stock footage, vector graphics, or AI image appears with each section of the audio. 

• Asset Preparation: Design and modify vector illustrations/typography using Adobe Illustrator when stock footage is not applicable, ensuring they are ready for animation. 

• Collaboration & Handover: Organize and package all selected assets (Video, Images, Vectors) effectively for the Motion Graphics Designers to ensure a smooth compositing process. 

• Process Understanding: Utilize basic knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects to visualize timing or create rough cuts (if needed) to ensure the selected media flows well with the audio before final production. 

• Quality Control: Ensure all selected visual assets adhere to KnowledgeCity’s brand guidelines and maintain a professional corporate tone. 

Qualifications: 

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in multimedia design, video editing, or visual storytelling. 

• Script Comprehension: Exceptional command of the English language with the ability to understand and visualize complex corporate topics (Finance, Compliance, IT). 

• Stock Media Proficiency: Expert skill in searching and curating "hard-to-find" stock footage that metaphorically or literally represents business concepts. 

Technical Skills: 

• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop (Essential). 

• Experience with Generative AI tools for image creation (Essential). 

• Working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (Strongly Preferred for understanding timeline and composition).
