Job Summary

Own and deliver dynamic Chicago nightlife content by shooting and editing three short videos monthly, maintaining the brand voice, and providing quick turnarounds while staying plugged into the local scene and coordinating with the content calendar.

  • Shaping and producing 3 reels per month
  • On-camera personality work and venue coverage planning

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Frequent happy hours, bars, and restaurants across Chicago neighborhoods (assigned and self-sourced) to shoot content on-site
  • Try drinks and food items being featured — comfort with alcohol tasting/reviewing on camera is a must
  • Shoot and edit 3 short-form vertical videos per month (Reels/TikTok style) optimized for social engagement
  • Apply The Move Chicago's brand voice and aesthetic: editorial, bold, curiosity-driven — think "show the vibe, save the deal details for the site"
  • Turn around content quickly — ideally within 24–48 hours of a shoot
  • Collaborate on content calendar and venue coverage priorities (which neighborhoods, which spots, timing around new venue partnerships)
  • Occasionally appear on camera as a recurring face/personality for the brand
  • Stay current on Chicago's bar/restaurant openings and nightlife trends to help identify new content opportunities.

Requirements

  • Based in Chicago and genuinely plugged into the going-out scene — you're already doing this, we just want to help you get paid for it
  • Strong video shooting skills (phone-based content is fine, but you know how to frame, light, and capture footage that looks good)
  • Video editing chops — comfortable with CapCut, Premiere Rush, InShot, or similar
  • Must be 21+ and comfortable consuming alcohol on camera as part of content
  • Outgoing, camera-comfortable personality — you don't need to be an influencer already, but you shouldn't be camera-shy
  • Reliable, self-directed, and able to manage your own schedule across multiple venue visits per week
  • Bonus: existing social following or content portfolio (send examples/links)
  • Bonus: experience with content scheduling tools, basic graphic design (Canva), or short-form copywriting
