Position: Video Content Creator & Editor (Animal Welfare / Documentary Storytelling)

Department: Communications, Marketing & Outreach

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka (On-site), 6 days

Reporting to: Social Media Manager

Employment Type: Full-Time

ABOUT SARVOHAM:

Sarvoham Welfare Trust is a charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of under-privileged animals in Bangalore, India. Sarvoham was established in April 2017 by co-founders Haris Ali & Madhusmita Sahu with a vision to create an inclusive eco-system that co-exists with animals providing them a respectable life that contributes to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’) for the planet.

Over the past 9 years, Sarvoham has grown from a small charity effort to a well-established animal welfare organization. We have rescued more than 3,500 street animals and provide a shelter for more than 200 dogs.

Sarvoham means the harmony between all elements of nature, both human and non-human. The organization is guided by the spirit of harmonious coexistence.

ROLE PURPOSE:

Sarvoham Welfare Trust stands at a defining moment in its journey to create a more compassionate world for animals and seeks to expand its impact by building a sustainable ecosystem of partnerships and philanthropy that will enable many more lives to be saved and transformed.
