Responsibilities

• Film and edit short-form video content for Instagram Reels and TikTok — vertical, native, scroll-stopping
• Capture photo content that feels authentic and on-brand, not overly staged
• Edit all content you shoot — color grading, cuts, captions on screen, audio sync, the whole package
• Stay plugged into trending audio, memes, cultural moments, and platform shifts and bring those ideas to the table proactively
• Ideate fresh concepts that connect brand messaging to what's actually happening in culture right now
• Collaborate with our Social Media Manager on creative direction and shot lists, then execute independently on-site
• Deliver polished, ready-to-post assets on deadline every time
• Shoots are typically 2-3 hours on location in Indianapolis, roughly once or twice a month per client; deliver edited assets within an agreed turnaround time

Requirements

• You're genuinely obsessed with social media — you're not just consuming it, you're studying it
• You have a strong point of view on what makes content work and you can articulate it
• You understand storytelling — not just pretty visuals, but content that takes someone on a journey and makes them feel something
• You're fast, scrappy, and resourceful on set — you don't need a full crew to get great content
• You can shoot on iPhone and/or camera and the output looks intentional either way
• You edit everything you shoot — CapCut, Premiere, or whatever gets the job done
• You understand the difference between content that performs on TikTok versus Instagram versus Facebook and you adjust accordingly
• You're reliable, communicative, and easy to work with on set

Preferred

• Experience working with multiple brands or clients across different industries
• Familiarity with Canva for basic graphic overlays or text treatments
• Experience directing non-professional talent (business owners, staff, customers) to feel comfortable on camera
• A personal social media presence that shows your eye and your voice
