Job Summary

Lead end-to-end short-form video creation (shoot, edit, perform) on location for NYC clients with a two-person crew.

  • Must-have: able to shoot, edit, and perform — all three
  • Standout: owns gear and delivers 4-day turnarounds with multiple reels per shoot

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shoot batch content sessions as part of a two-person crew at client locations across NYC and surrounding areas
  • Execute briefs from Account Managers — they bring the strategy, hooks, and references; you bring them to life on camera and in the edit
  • Edit 4+ finished Reels per shoot within a 4-day turnaround
  • Appear on camera when content calls for it — UGC formats, presenter-style, voiceovers
  • Contribute creative instincts in the moment — if you see a better angle or a stronger hook on location, say it
  • Deliver wrap reports and BTS content after each shoot
  • Maintain Big Wave’s performance-first standard — pretty doesn’t matter, views do

Requirements

  • You shoot, edit, and perform — all three, not just one
  • Strong collaborator — you work well in a two-person crew and take direction without ego
  • Proficiency in CapCut Desktop, Premiere, or Final Cut
  • Your own gear: laptop, DJI Mic Mini 2 or RØDE Wireless Go, SmallRig phone rig or similar
  • Strong instinct for short-form hooks — you watch content to study it, not just scroll it
  • Fast turnaround without excuses — 4-day SLA is non-negotiable
  • Client-facing personality — you’re comfortable walking into any business and owning the shoot

Preferred

  • You’ve grown your own account or helped someone else grow theirs
  • You understand the difference between aesthetic content and content that converts
  • You’ve done UGC or branded content work and have receipts
  • You thrive with a clear brief — strategy handed to you means you can go deeper on execution

Benefits

  • Independent contractor (1099)
  • Weekly payouts
  • Access to Big Wave’s creative frameworks, scripting systems, and training
  • Real portfolio growth — you’ll be shooting for real businesses with real audiences, not spec work
