Who we are looking for
We are looking for a talented videographer to help us tell video stories that bring the State Street brand to life. In this role, you will collaborate with diverse business leaders and teams across marketing, communications, content and thought leadership globally to create compelling content for sales engagements, events, campaigns and digital channels.
This hands-on position includes producing, shooting and editing, and requires expertise managing lighting, sound and color correction. You will be responsible for managing the production process end-to-end — establishing clear pre- and post-production workflows, and rigorous operating procedures to ensure our video content is high-quality and aligned with State Street’s brand.
You will help manage and refine our new studio and report to the Design Director on our Brand and Design team in State Street’s Global Marketing organization. Our team works four days in our new Boston headquarters at Bulfinch Crossing, and one day from home. Because of the hands-on nature of this role and the need to manage and direct on-location shoots, remote work may not always be possible on the same day each week, but we encourage flexibility throughout the day and the week.

As a leading creative voice, you’ll join a team that is challenging conventions, shaping the future of investing and making a difference for our clients, our communities and each other.
