New Scientist Cover Letter

Hello Hr Manager, I am interested in the Video Producer role at New Scientist. I have excellent video production and editing experience, strong editorial judgement and a proven track record of working within a newsroom. I have 3-4 years of experience writing, editing and producing editorial video content. I am an expert user of Adobe Premiere or equivalent video editing software. I also have some knowledge of motion graphics and audio software (i.e. After Effects or Audition). I have experience of publishing video and social media content to platforms including Wordpress, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. I have a good understanding of audience development tools for different video platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. I am an organised, creative self-starter able to work collaboratively across our global business to deliver content to deadline, under pressure. I also have some presenting, voiceover or on-camera reporting experience (which is desirable but not essential). I would like to work in a hybrid role (i.e. office-based and remote working) as I feel this would be the best way to balance my work and home life. I am passionate about science and technology and I believe that I have the skills and experience to excel in this role. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further with you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely, Chad
