About The Role
Blitz is one of Arc’s student programs dedicated to telling UNSW stories, exploring pop culture hot takes, reviews and so much more in the form of articles and videos. In the Blitz community writers, editors and content creators can hone their skills in either field as well as build a portfolio of work.
As the Blitz Producer, you'll manage the community of student content creators in their pursuit to create various video work. In holding frequent meetings with your volunteer team, you will motivate and engage them in content creation projects like vox-pops and interviews. You will coordinate, direct and produce large, long form video projects that are also centred around creative concepts. The Blitz producer will work on ideating opportunities for events, in the management and upkeep of Blitz's various digital platforms.
This role is perfect for someone who’s passionate about pop culture and social media trends. If you're a creative, interesting in content creation, film making, marketing, video editing and telling stories, we'd love to hear from you!
Who are We?
Arc is UNSW’s student organisation. We like to call ourselves the cool older sibling. We know that the best parts of going to uni is all the stuff you do outside the classroom, and we pride ourselves on making that experience awesome. We do that through a huge range of opportunities and services available to students online and in-person.
Working at Arc you’ll join a welcoming team of full of like-minded students, who believe in listening to students, working together and having fun between hard work. Work perks include professional development opportunities, the occasional work cake party, hot desk spaces, tickets to the Arc Annual Dinner, and more. But probably the best thing you’ll get out of working here are some friendships you’ll never forget.
Imposter Syndrome disclaimer:
If you’re reading this thinking, ‘no way can I do this, I have no experience’, you should know that some of the best student coordinators at Arc applied when they had no experience. We took them on because we believe in giving people their first chance, and because they showed they had a willingness to learn, problem solve and try new things. You could be that person too.
