Job SummaryWe’re looking for a Technical Multimedia Generalist who can contribute to a team that does it all: full-cycle video production and creation, audio engineering for podcasts, live stream production, and digital content management. Our multimedia team bridges creative and technical execution — from capturing high-quality audio and video to editing, encoding, and distributing multimedia content using tools like Brightcove and publishing across platforms like our own site, YouTube, X, Apple, and Spotify.
You don’t have to know how to do all of this, but you should know some of it really well and be flexible and can-do on the rest. Bonus points if you can think in systems and improve processes. If you're a self-starting doer who can figure things out in a high-quality way, we want to hear from you!

- Edit video content for YouTube, social media, livestreams, and internal use using Adobe Premiere Pro and other Adobe Creative Cloud tools.
- Add basic motion graphics, lower thirds, and transitions using After Effects or similar.
- Color correct and audio mix video projects to meet quality standards.
- Export, compress, and transcode files for optimized playback across multiple platforms.
- Record, edit, mix, and master professional-grade audio for podcasts and video content.
- Manage studio and remote recording setups with multiple audio sources.
- Ensure audio is clean, balanced, and optimized for various distribution platforms.
- Distribute and manage video/audio content using Brightcove, YouTube Studio, and podcast hosting platforms.
- Upload, tag, and schedule content for maximum discoverability and performance.
- Ensure file organization, metadata consistency, and cross-platform publishing standards.
- Coordinate remote recordings on platforms like Riverside, and assist remote guests in optimizing their audio and video setups to ensure high-quality production standards.
- Plan, shoot, and light video for a variety of formats (talking heads, interviews, explainers, livestreams, promos).
- Operate cameras and manage basic on-set production needs.
- Collaborate with producers and talent to capture high-quality visuals on tight timelines.
- 3+ years of experience in multimedia production, with demonstrable expertise in both audio and video.
- Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, and Photoshop.
- Strong understanding of video post-production workflows, codecs, and delivery specs.
- Hands-on experience with livestreaming platforms and tools.
- Familiarity with managing content across platforms/tools like YouTube, X, Brightcove, and podcast distribution networks.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with great attention to detail and deadlines.
- Working knowledge of camera operation, studio lighting, and field production.
- Experience optimizing video for social engagement (thumbnails, titles, hooks, shorts).
- Familiarity with transcription tools, AI-enhanced editing tools, and digital asset management systems.
- Prior work in fast-paced content environments (e.g., news, entertainment, media, education, or finance).

What We Do
The Motley Fool’s purpose is to make the world smarter, happier, and richer.
While other companies may make you smarter, happier, or richer, we aim to do all three by providing outstanding business and investing advice — with a decidedly Foolish bent.
Our name is in homage to the one character in Shakespearean literature — the court jester — who could speak the truth to the king and queen without having his or her head lopped off. The Fools of yore entertained the court with humor that instructed as it amused. More importantly, the Fool was never afraid to question conventional wisdom.
We believe in treating every dollar as an investment in the future you want to create. We believe that investing in great businesses, for the long term, is the most effective path to wealth. We believe in the power of a community to learn and grow together. We believe in keeping score and being transparent in our investment performance. We strive to fulfill our purpose by truly serving every Fool, from our employees to our members to our community.
We provide a variety of solutions to improve many areas of your financial life, including your investment portfolio, personal finances, real estate holdings, company, and career.
The Motley Fool is headquartered in Alexandria, Va., with offices in Denver and Sydney, Australia, and serves investors and businesses in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, and Germany.
