Responsibilities

• Shooting video and photo on location at client sites across Chicagoland and occasionally beyond. This is a client-facing role; you\'ll be on set with the people whose brands you\'re building, greeting them, outlining the plan, and keeping the session running smoothly.
• Editing content in DaVinci Resolve; cutting for social platforms with attention to hooks, pacing, captions, and format.
• Prepping for shoots by reviewing creative briefs, building shot lists, coordinating gear, and showing up ready.
• Directing real people on camera; our clients aren\'t actors, so you need to make them comfortable and get usable takes efficiently.
• Managing your own footage pipeline; ingest, file organization, version control, and delivery to spec.
• Collaborating daily with your pod\'s strategist and social media manager to stay aligned on priorities and deadlines.
• Some weeks are shoot-heavy. Some weeks are edit-heavy. Every week requires organization and follow-through.

Requirements

• Portfolio or reel showing video and/or photo work; personal, academic, or freelance projects are all fine.
• Familiarity with camera systems, basic lighting, and audio recording.
• Working knowledge of Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational habits.
• 1–3 years of professional experience producing video and/or photo content.
• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end work; you shot it, you edited it, you delivered it.
• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve (preferred) and Lightroom.
• Comfort directing non-actors and working on set with clients present.
• High school diploma or GED.
• Valid driver\'s license and reliable transportation.
• Willingness to be on location; this is not a fully remote role.

Preferred

• Experience creating content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or LinkedIn.
• Familiarity with Asana or similar project management tools.
