Content Creator - Video Specialist

Company Description

At Platform Commons, we don't just build software; we build stuff that makes a difference. From empowering smallholder farmers in rural India to scaling education for the marginalized, our platforms are the invisible engine behind some of the most significant social shifts today.

But behind every line of code is a human story. A teacher in a government school, a farmer collective in a remote village, or a volunteer in the city making a difference. We are looking for a Video Creator who can capture their soul, and show the world what Tech for Good actually looks like.

The Mission

You won't just be making videos. You will be our primary lens into the field. You'll travel, meet the changemakers, and translate complex digital ecosystems into moving, human-centric narratives.

What you'll do:

• Travel to project sites (like our recent work in Darrang, Assam) to capture the real-world impact of our platforms.
• Script, shoot, and edit high-quality video content for LinkedIn, YouTube, and partner showcases.
• Turn abstract concepts like Tech for Good into relatable stories of empowerment and equity.
• Work closely with our leadership and partners to highlight collective action.
