Position Summary

The Video Editor & Visual Content Creator is a key member of Otis' Global Communications team, responsible for transforming business priorities into compelling visual stories that engage colleagues, customers, and external audiences worldwide.

This is not a traditional editing role. We're seeking a versatile creative professional who combines exceptional editorial craft with the ability to create content across evolving formats, platforms, and production workflows. The successful candidate is equally comfortable producing narrative-driven videos, developing agile short-form content, adapting assets across channels, and leveraging AI-enabled tools to enhance both efficiency and creative quality.

Working within established communication objectives, this individual exercises strong editorial judgment to turn complex ideas into engaging visual experiences. Success requires balancing creativity, speed, quality, and strategic intent in a fast-paced global communications environment. While this position can be performed remotely, the ideal candidate will be located in close proximity to our World Headquarters location in Farmington, CT as in-office days will be required.
