Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Personally create social-first content end to end, taking ideas from concept through shooting, editing, and final delivery
  • Shoot and edit video with confidence and craft, shaping raw material into polished, scroll-stopping social content; this is the heart of the role
  • Bring a strong eye for composition, light, and what makes content feel native to the platforms it lives on
  • Show up in person for shoots and regular client sessions, making content on location as needed
  • A portfolio or social presence that clearly demonstrates photo and video content you personally created, ideally social-first work you both shot and edited
  • A true maker at heart; your value lies in the breadth and quality of what you can execute yourself
  • Shooting and editing are your non-negotiable strengths, complemented by a genuine desire to learn and grow across the wider content-creation stack
  • Deeply curious about internet and social culture; you experiment with new formats, tools, and creative behaviors before they become part of a brief
  • Strong creative and brand instincts, with either existing advertising sensibility or the appetite and aptitude to grow into it
  • Fast, resourceful, and entrepreneurial; you find opportunities and act on them without waiting for a formal process

Preferred

  • Photography skills are a plus, though not a necessity
  • Motion graphics and animation are a plus that can elevate and enliven the work, though not a necessity
  • Color correcting and grading are a plus; the goal is footage that feels like elevated social content
