GRAPHIC DESIGNER & VIDEO EDITOR

We are still receiving applications.

Trinity Church in Chicago (Upgrade to see actual info) is seeking a full-time graphic designer and video editor—also known as a Media Creator—for long-term employment. The role will involve following creative briefs for digital and print projects, as well as recurring tasks. Candidates must be design-savvy, production-minded, able to work by themselves, display strong collaboration, and consistently meet deadlines.

Full-time means a forty (40) hour work week Monday to Friday at $4.50 USD per hour. Hours worked are generally flexible, but the candidate must be *available* on weekdays between 4am-5am or 5am-6am local Philippine Standard Time (PHT) for one weekly/bi-weekly Zoom call (Daylight savings in the USA causes these times to shift twice a year).

This Zoom call will typically happen weekly/bi-weekly on Mondays at 4pm Central Standard Time, but the candidate should have some *availability* on all weekdays at the same time in case more ZooUpgrade to see actual infoetings are needed. The candidate will be required to start their Monday shift at 5am PHT. However, other days are flexible.

Additional weekly hours are a possibility depending on special projects, as well as the very rare exception of up to a sixty (60) hour week under exceptional circumstances. Occasional weekend availability may be necessary to meet deadlines.

Depending on the candidates strengths, the role may evolve in the future. The candidate must demonstrate good character and suitable skills to match the responsibilities. Candidates must have a strong work ethic and a commitment to the success of our organization. The Media Creator reports to the Team Manager, but also receives creative input and direction from the Marketing & Communications Coordinator.
