We are seeking a highly creative and execution-focused Social-First Videographer to join our growing Brand and Marketing team.

This role is responsible for producing fast, high-quality, social-native video content that drives engagement, builds brand affinity, and fuels organic growth. You will lead the capture and editing of short-form vertical video for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, while also supporting long-form storytelling and photography needs across campaigns and product launches.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands how modern content moves — emotionally, culturally, and quickly — and wants to help build a mission-driven brand at the intersection of movement, family, and technology.

Core Responsibilities

Primary - Social-First Content Production

  • Capture and edit short-form vertical video optimized for social platforms.
  • Deliver quick-turn edits (often within 24–72 hours).
  • Develop strong hooks, pacing, captions, and storytelling structures designed for retention.
  • Repurpose long-form footage into multiple short-form assets.
  • Collaborate with social, community, and growth teams to align content with campaign goals.

Secondary - Campaign & Long-Form Support

  • Support production of brand videos, product explainers, interviews, and launch content.
  • Capture high-quality b-roll for evergreen marketing use.
  • Assist with documentary-style user stories and thought leadership content.

Secondary - Photography

  • Capture lifestyle and product photography for web, social, and campaign use.
  • Support asset organization and visual library management.

Travel & Events

  • Travel approximately once per month for events, community activations, user story shoots, and key campaign moments.
  • Support live demos and in-person content capture.

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.
  • Experience collaborating and coaching executives or thought leaders on video content.

What Sets You Apart

  • Deep instinct for storytelling and emotional resonance.
  • Ability to balance speed with quality.
  • Strong creative judgment and platform-native thinking.
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid startup environment.
  • Highly organized with strong asset management habits.
  • Excited about building a new category around active, family-first play.

We Offer

  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
  • Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
  • Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field
