And we want you on our team.
The Team Lead, Video leads Stantec's Marketing, Communications and Public Relations (MCPR) video programme, combining hands-on creative work with team leadership to help teams deliver video that supports Stantec's brand, project storytelling and business objectives.
The role builds on current processes and standards to ensure consistency across the organisation, and partners with MCPR teams across business units and regions to create video that builds awareness of Stantec's brand and expertise, strengthens industry positioning and drives growth. We welcome candidates whose craft is rooted in videography, storytelling, or both.
We’re looking for someone to be based in either Perth, Western Australia or Wellington, New Zealand.
Reporting to the Director, Brand & Creative, some of the activities you’ll focus your energy on include, but are not limited to:
Programme Strategy
Build on the existing MCPR video strategy, refining standards and shaping a structure that aligns video with brand messaging and business priorities.
Keep the programme flexible, balancing enterprise-wide consistency with the ability to adapt to different business needs, regions, video approaches and tools.
Prioritise video requests using clear criteria (business impact, marketing value, timing, budget) and define tiers of support, from self-serve guidance to full production, with clear expectations for scope and turnaround.
Review and refine existing production workflows, and lead scalable, team-wide processes from intake through delivery and archive, including scheduling of shoots, post-production, live events and equipment.
Maintain video guidance, templates, tools and resources, and advise teams on video planning and execution, including corporate video requests and when to use existing, stock or commissioned footage.
Define how video success is measured, including goals, audience reach, engagement and business impact, and use the results to refine strategy and future production.
Evaluate emerging technologies, including AI, and integrate them into video tools and editing to improve efficiency, quality and consistency.
Video Creation & Direction
Deliver video projects end-to-end, from concept, treatments and scripts through shooting, editing and archiving, staying hands-on where your craft is strongest and directing others elsewhere.
Lead or direct video shoots and live or digital events, including logistics, lighting, audio and live streaming.
Set the creative standard for the team, raising its storytelling and production craft through creative review, coaching and fresh approaches.
Keep all video work on brand and aligned with Stantec's visual identity and video strategy.
Distribute video across digital channels (e.g. YouTube, social media, website) for internal and external audiences.
Team Leadership & Management
Lead, coach and develop a team of videographers and storytellers, setting clear priorities, expectations and objectives aligned with business goals.
Plan and allocate workload and resources to balance concurrent priorities across business units and geographies.
Hold regular check-ins and development conversations, and support each team member's growth, including onboarding and training.
Foster a collaborative, engaging team culture and encourage knowledge sharing and best practice across the video team.

7 years of related work experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
2-3 years in a people leadership role.
