Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with marketing and community teams to execute on creative briefs.
• Contribute ideas that align storytelling with brand values and product usage goals.

Required Qualifications

• 1 - 3+ years of experience in videography and editing, ideally in a consumer brand or social-first environment.
• Strong portfolio showcasing short-form, vertical, social-native content.
• Proficiency in video editing software such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or similar tools.
• Experience shooting with professional camera equipment and lighting setups.
• Strong understanding of social platform dynamics, trends, and content performance.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in consumer tech, gaming, family, or lifestyle brands.
• Motion graphics experience.
• Experience capturing live events.
• Familiarity with photography editing tools such as Lightroom or Photoshop.

What Sets You Apart

• Deep instinct for storytelling and emotional resonance.
