KERA is seeking a creative, fast-moving storyteller who can pick up a camera, find the shot, and turn it into something people want to watch, then repeat the process for multiple brands under the KERA family.  

The Multimedia Producer will co-produce and direct with KERA colleagues across the organization. This individual will shoot and edit original content across all of KERA's brands including multi-media promotional spots, television fundraising campaigns, and stories that bring our community to life.
