Job Description: On-Set & Location Capture (50%) - Dual-Media Execution: Lead the physical capture of high-quality digital photography and videography simultaneously on set, ensuring both asset types are fulfilled per the brief. - Technical Rigging: Independently set up, operate, and tear down production gear, including mirrorless/cinema cameras, mobile stabilization rigs, professional lighting (continuous and strobe), and multi-channel audio equipment. - Art Direction Translation: Interpret the Social Producer’s mood boards and shot lists, making real-time creative decisions regarding framing, composition, lens selection, and camera movement. - Talent Guidance: Comfortably direct creators, actors, or client staff on set to capture authentic, high-energy, and natural movements optimized for social media. - Environmental Adaptability: Run efficient shoots across highly diverse settings, ranging from controlled studio environments and corporate offices to fast-paced outdoor lifestyle and event locations. Post-Production & Editing (40%) - Short-Form Video Editing: Cut, pace, and assemble raw video footage into highly engaging vertical formats (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) and horizontal brand videos. - Photo Asset Curation: Batch-process, culling, and retouching raw photography to deliver flawless static imagery for social grids, carousels, and web banners. - Aesthetic & Trend Alignment: Apply advanced color grading, sound design (trending audio syncing, sound effects), text overlays, native platform fonts, and basic motion graphics. - Platform Optimization: Ensure all final outputs strictly adhere to specific platform dimensions, file compressions, safe-zone layouts, and technical specifications. - Iterative Revisions: Implement constructive feedback from the Social Producer and internal stakeholders rapidly, managing version control (V1, V2, Final) cleanly. Equipment & Asset Management (10%) - Digital Asset Architecture: Maintain a strict, standardized file naming convention and folder structure on agency cloud servers/SSDs to ensure seamless team access. - Gear Stewardship: Oversee the care, organization, data-clearing, and maintenance of all agency-owned camera, lighting, and audio gear.

Reporting Structure & Collaboration Boundaries - Direct Report: Reports directly to the Social Producer. - The Workflow Boundary: The Social Producer will hand you a finalized brief, handle client relationship management, and lock in the shoot dates. Once on set, you take creative command of the lens and the technical execution. In post-production, you present your drafts to the Social Producer for internal quality assurance before it ever reaches the client. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - Deliverable Punctuality: Meeting or exceeding post-production deadlines set by the Social Producer to keep client content calendars on track. - Brand Fidelity: The ability to consistently hit a client's specific aesthetic guidelines without needing heavy artistic re-direction. - Asset Yield: Maximizing the volume of usable, high-quality micro-content captured from a single production shoot. - Technical Accuracy: Delivering files that are perfectly formatted, cleanly exported, and free of safe-zone text cutting or export glitches. Requirements - Minimum 2–4 years of experience working as a hybrid photographer/videographer and editor, ideally within a fast-paced creative agency or a high-output in-house brand team. - Has a diverse digital portfolio or showreel showcasing both commercial-grade photography (lifestyle, product, or corporate) and social-first vertical video edits. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered. - Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop. Familiarity with After Effects, CapCut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve is highly advantageous. - Deep understanding of modern mirrorless camera ecosystems (Sony, Canon, or Panasonic), wireless audio systems (DJI, Rode), and portable lighting setups. - Must possess the cognitive agility/adaptibility to shoot for a sleek, minimalist corporate brand in the morning and edit an energetic, colorful Gen-Z trend piece in the afternoon. - Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend an interview and complete a Video Editor cum Videographer assessment as part of the evaluation process.
