Video Storyteller (Contractor)

Role Description

MagicSchool is looking for a visionary Video Storyteller who can craft clear, compelling stories about how MagicSchool AI is used in classrooms. Your work will focus on narrative pieces that help educators, administrators, and students understand our tools and their impact.

You’ll spend time in schools across the country, meet the educators, students and school leaders using MagicSchool, and surface the stories that showcase MagicSchool's transformational impact. You’ll shape both the ideas and the final videos—finding the right angles, capturing real moments, and bringing those stories to life in a way that feels honest and accessible.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will be responsible for driving towards the following outcomes:

Produce compelling narrative video content that helps both technical and non-technical audiences (especially educators) understand our EdTech products and research.
Work with internal teams to identify stories and develop creative approaches to tell them.
Travel regularly for productions, which may include school site visits and education conferences.
Build on the visual language of the Magic School AI brand.
Document repeatable processes for video production and post-production to ensure consistency.
Begin building a repository of reusable b-roll and templates for future content.
Partner closely with the Marketing team to define the video voiceover tone and visual identity.
Work collaboratively across marketing, product, and customer experience teams to support launches and evergreen storytelling needs.

Experience & Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring the following experience and qualifications:

Storytelling Instincts: You must have creative storytelling instincts and the ability to shape narratives, not just execute them.
Intellectual Curiosity: You must possess intellectual curiosity and a willingness to learn about unfamiliar topics, particularly the intersection of AI and K-12/Higher Education.

Required Experience

3-5+ years of experience producing branded content, documentary films, journalism, or editorial video in fast-moving environments.
You possess a deep understanding of the production process and demonstrated experience collaborating with agencies, freelancers, and production partners.

Logistics

Contract Duration: This engagement is for ~30 hours/week for an initial 6-month contract period, with the possibility of extension based on performance and business needs.
Location/Travel: You'll join us remotely, though a commitment to working from the Denver area is required. Must be willing to embrace regular travel for filming and on-site content capture, estimated to take up 25–40% of your time.
Contractor Note: As an independent contractor, you are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and providing your own video equipment/tools necessary to complete contracted work.
