Responsibilities

• Concept, shoot, and edit social-first content: end to end, from idea through final cut, mostly small-crew or solo.
• Write across everything: scripts, VO, social copy, captions. Contribute the narrative to treatments and pitch decks.
• Develop creative ideas for campaigns, films, pitches, and things that don't have a name yet.
• Handle scrappy production: finding locations, directing non-actors, getting a great image without a big crew.
• Team up with our designer as a two-person creative unit when a project calls for it.

Requirements

• 2-5 years making content people actually watch, at a brand, agency, publication, or on channels you built yourself.
• A reel of your own work: things you shot and cut yourself, not just things you were near.
• Writing samples with range: funny when it should be, sharp always, human throughout. These can be scripts, posts, short stories, or a gut-punching segment from your Notes app.
• Camera skills: comfortable enough behind one to make something beautiful fast. From phone to smaller camera bodies, knowing your way around a lens and a light kit will be valued here.
• Fluency in the tools: Premiere, Capcut, or weapon of choice LTE. After Effects and DaVinci experience optional but valued. Experience working in organized systems platforms like Google Docs, Airtable, Canva, And the big kicker here...Claude.
• AI @ Grand Crew: We're AI-friendly here at Grand Crew, as a tool to help us move through processes in ways that allow the best parts of our creative and production minds to be successful, not to be creative for us. We use it to make the work more efficient, not to squeeze out the creative juices that make the work worth making. While not required for the role, we view using AI tools as a means of moving faster on the tedious parts without handing over your taste as a benefit to the job.
• An organized brain: Our footage, projects, and archives run on a system, and you'd have both access to it and the responsibility to keep it clean. Cards dumped and labeled, projects structured, versions findable.
• Experience with Claude Code, CoWork, Connectors, and more is a plus; curiosity is beneficial if not experienced.

Preferred

• Nice to have: Motion graphics, color grading, sound design,, and light design sensibility to help occasionally in decks.
