Job Summary

Drive creative direction and content production for Coleman Johns Studio, leading video and brand storytelling.

  • Must-have: proven leadership directing shoots with Final Cut Pro or Premiere
  • Standout: on-set luxury/ founder-led content experience and growth mindset

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Creative vision and content strategy across all Coleman Johns channels (property tours, relocation content, founder vlogs, and brand campaigns)
  • Directing and managing a videographer to execute on your shot lists, storyboards, and creative briefs
  • Editing long-form YouTube content built for storytelling, retention, and search performance
  • Short-form content strategy and production (Reels, Shorts, TikToks) — not just cutting clips, but understanding what performs and why
  • Brand visual identity — thumbnails, graphics, on-screen presence, and the overall look and feel of Coleman Johns Studio
  • Content calendar ownership — pitching ideas, planning shoots, and keeping output consistent
  • Performance tracking — understanding analytics and using data to sharpen creative decisions
  • Building and eventually growing the creative team as volume scales

Requirements

  • A portfolio or reel that shows genuine creative range — not just pretty footage, but storytelling with pacing, emotion, and purpose
  • Experience leading or directing video shoots (not just operating a camera)
  • Strong editing skills in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects a plus)
  • Understanding of YouTube as a platform — how search, retention, and packaging work together
  • Comfort on set with high-end properties, founder-led content, and fast-moving production days
  • A pulse on social media trends without being a slave to them
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you treat this like your own brand, not a 9-to-5

Preferred

  • Real estate, luxury, or lifestyle content experience
  • Drone certification (Part 107)
  • Motion graphics or animation capability
  • Experience scaling a creative team or managing freelancers

Benefits

  • A proven content-to-revenue model — your work directly drives business, and we can show you exactly how
  • A videographer already on the team ready to execute under your direction
  • Creative ownership — this isn't a factory, it's a brand you’ll help shape
  • Performance bonuses tied to content milestones and business impact
  • The opportunity to build and lead a growing creative department
