Job Description

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Videographer & Video Editor to create high-performing, social-first video content for a growing beauty brand. This role is hands-on across the full process—concepting, shooting, and editing—with a focus on short-form content (Reels, TikTok) and select longer-form YouTube videos.

You should have a strong instinct for what works on social, how to translate trends into brand-right content, and how to make beauty feel elevated but still native to platform. This role reports directly to the Creative Director.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept, shoot, and edit short-form video content optimized for TikTok and Instagram Reels (core focus)
• Produce longer-form YouTube content including tutorials, storytelling, and campaign extensions
• Capture product, texture, application, and lifestyle footage with a strong eye for beauty
• Edit with attention to pacing, hooks, sound, and platform-native storytelling
• Rapidly turn around content while maintaining a high creative standard
• Collaborate with social and marketing teams to ideate and execute weekly/monthly content
• Stay deeply plugged into social trends, creators, and emerging formats within beauty
• Work with talent, founders, and influencers on-camera
• Manage shoots end-to-end (lighting, audio, camera, basic set direction)

Requirements

• 3–6+ years shooting and editing video, ideally in beauty, fashion, or lifestyle
• Strong portfolio of social-first content (this matters more than traditional reel work)
• Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube formats
• Skilled in editing (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or similar)
• Able to balance speed and taste—you can move fast without making things feel rushed
• Highly collaborative but also comfortable owning projects independently
• Strong visual sensibility with attention to detail (lighting, skin, texture, tone)

Nice to Haves

• Motion graphics (After Effects)
• Experience shooting beauty close-ups (skin, product, application)
• Familiarity with performance-driven creative and paid social
• Basic color grading skills
