- Research military battles, historical figures, equipment, locations, maps, and archival footage
- Find visually compelling content suitable for engaging YouTube storytelling
- Perform basic photo enhancement where required, including resizing, cropping, colour correction, restoration, or colourising historical images
- Organise and upload completed media folders to Dropbox for the production team
Requirements:
- Strong knowledge and genuine interest in military history
- Excellent research skills and ability to navigate archives, museums, historical databases, and open-source repositories
- Ability to identify historically accurate military equipment, uniforms, vehicles, battles, commanders, and locations
- Basic photo editing skills
- Strong attention to detail and quality control
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned work
- Reliable internet connection and remote work setup
