Videographer

We are seeking a full-time Videographer to join our motivated, entrepreneurial, and mission-focused team.

The Videographer is responsible for capturing and producing compelling visual stories through video and photography that communicate Crossworld’s mission, people, and impact.

This individual will lead the creation of video and photo content — from concept to final delivery — that builds awareness, deepens engagement, and invites participation in Crossworld’s mission.

The role requires creative initiative, technical excellence, and a strong ability to build trust with field workers and partners while capturing authentic, compelling stories in diverse cultural settings.

Capture and produce high-quality video and photography that tells Crossworld’s stories across social media, web, internal communications, and marketing campaigns.
Create short-form and long-form video content, with a strong focus on social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and emerging channels.
