We work to dismantle doubts through well-researched truths, nurture conviction by strengthening belief with practical, spiritual guidance, and inspire contribution by reviving our tradition of faithful changemakers, insha’Allah. We’re seeking like-minded professionals who embody Islamic values including sincerity, excellence, and compassion, and want to make a difference in the faith of people worldwide.

About the role

The Video Editor and Production Coordinator will support the media production team in executing high-quality video content. This individual will coordinate guests and logistics, manage filming schedules, capture and edit video, and ensure a smooth workflow from pre-production through post-production. The Video Editor and Production Coordinator will collaborate closely with the media department to maintain production quality and deliver compelling, on-brand content.

What you’ll do

• A. Pre-Production & Scheduling
  • Coordinate with guests or contributors for availability, prep materials, and logistical details.
  • Manage filming calendars and schedules to optimize time and resources.
  • Prepare and distribute shot lists, call sheets, and production schedules.
• B. Production (Filming)
  • Organize crew, manage timing, and maintain a productive filming environment.
  • Set up cameras, lighting, and audio to ensure professional image and sound quality.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues and maintain equipment readiness.
• C. Post-Production & Content Delivery
  • Edit long-form video content and short-form clips according to established brand style and quality standards.
  • Deliver final cuts on deadline, optimized for digital and social platforms.
  • Collaborate with designers and the media team to integrate visual assets and captions.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in video production: camera operation, lighting, and sound.
• Proficiency with editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro).
• Strong organizational and communication skills; able to coordinate multiple schedules and stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and solve problems on set.
• Understanding of brand aesthetics and storytelling for digital platforms.
• Experience with YouTube or social media content production is a plus.

Assignment

• A short video reel (1–2 minutes) showcasing your filming and editing work.
• One-Page Analysis (required): Choose any recent Yaqeen Institute video or show and create a one-page analysis (approx. 400–500 words) that includes:
• • Observations: What you believe worked well in its storytelling, visuals, or editing.
  • Improvements: One or two specific changes you would make to enhance impact.
  • Process Reflection (3–5 sentences): Describe how you arrived at your observations—what you noticed first, what personal experience or reference points shaped your thinking, and why you focused on those elements.
  • Creative Concept: Outline a 30–60 second teaser idea for the same video, including rough pacing or shot choices. (Optional: Attach a quick hand sketch or mood board photo of your concept—quality isn’t important; originality is.)

Yaqeen Institute embraces a philosophy that values and promotes diversity. Our goal is to attract, develop, retain, and advance a talented and diverse workforce within a culture where all employees are empowered to reach their fullest potential.

Please note that all career opportunities at Yaqeen Institute are subject to a three-month probationary period, during which we assess performance, alignment with our values, and mutual fit to ensure long-term success in the role.
