About the Role

HKM Charitable Foundation and Basil Woods School (BWS) are looking for a Creative Lead to own and drive video production across both organizations. This role is primarily focused on video — from concept to final cut — while also owning the broader creative content pipeline: decks, concepts, and campaign ideas that support our programs and communication goals.

You will lead a small creative/production team and be hands-on with mid-scale productions — planning, coordinating, and executing shoots, and guiding edits through to delivery. This is a role for someone who can think in concepts and decks, but is just as comfortable being on set or in the edit bay when needed.

Key Responsibilities

- Own end-to-end video production for HKMCF and BWS — from concept, scripting, and pre-production through to shoot, edit, and final delivery.
- Lead, mentor, and manage a creative/production team, assigning ownership and reviewing output across projects.
- Plan and execute mid-level productions independently, managing timelines, resources, and quality across multiple concurrent projects.
- Develop creative concepts, storyboards, and treatment decks, and present these clearly to leadership and internal stakeholders.
- Coordinate production logistics — locations, equipment, crew, and vendors/freelancers — for shoots across HKMCF and BWS.
- Oversee post-production and edit workflows, ensuring consistent quality, pacing, and brand tone across all output.




- Maintain and evolve visual and brand consistency across video and creative content for both organizations.
- Manage project timelines and budgets, flagging risks and trade-offs early.

Must-Have Requirements

- 5–8 years of experience in video production or creative content, including experience leading or mentoring a team.
- Demonstrated experience independently managing mid-to-large scale video productions end-to-end.
- Strong conceptual and storytelling ability, with the confidence to build and pitch decks and concepts to stakeholders.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and coordinate across cross-functional teams.
- Comfortable working on-site in Hyderabad, including on shoot days as required.

Good to Have

- Hands-on shooting or editing expertise (camera operation, lighting, or proficiency in tools like Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve / Final Cut). This is strongly preferred and weighted heavily in selection — candidates with genuine hands-on craft will stand out, even though it is not an automatic disqualifier on its own.
- Experience working with non-profit, spiritual, educational, or mission-driven organizations.
- Familiarity with platform-specific content formats (Instagram/YouTube/short-form) and current content trends.

What We Offer

- Ownership of creative direction across two meaningful, mission-driven organizations.
- A collaborative workplace with room to build and shape a growing creative team.
- The opportunity to see your work create real, visible impact in the community.
