On-siteWriting$40k–$50k/yrFull-time

About the role

This is a true hybrid creator role. You will split your time between being a competent camera operator on set and a creative editor in post-production.

Key Responsibilities

  • On-Set Production
    • Act as a competent, reliable camera operator on set, handling framing, composition, and basic lighting/audio setups under the direction of our production leads.
    • Responsible for managing media cards on set, ensuring all captured footage is safely backed up to shuttle drives before wrap.
  • Creative Editing & Motion Graphics
    • Deliver high-impact, visually engaging video cuts across both of our core production tracks, avoiding formulaic or traditional editing styles.
    • Use motion graphics and design principles (typography, layout, color theory) to build dynamic graphics, slick transitions, and custom social templates that elevate our content.
    • Edit with platform-native formats and trends at the forefront (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts).
    • Actively explore and integrate the latest AI post-production and design tools to maximize workflow efficiency and creative execution.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 1–3 years of experience in video production and editing within an agency, commercial production house, or an exceptional freelance portfolio.
  • Software Literacy: Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and a solid foundation in design principles. Experience with Photoshop/Illustrator is a major plus.
  • Camera Experience: Competency operating mirrorless or cinema camera systems, with a good understanding of exposure, focus, and audio capture.
  • The "New Wave" Toolkit: A natural curiosity for utilizing AI tools (e.g., generative audio/video, automated transcription, AI masking) to enhance the creative process.
  • Collaboration: Maintain outstanding interpersonal skills. You can articulate your creative choices clearly to the internal team. Work Schedule Monday & Friday: Remote Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: In-Office / Collaboration Days

Why Join Us?

This is the ultimate launchpad for a hungry creator. You will get to shoot with professional gear, push the limits, and actively play with the newest tools - all while learning the agency business directly from seasoned production leads. If you are looking for a role where you can fast-track your skills, get real client-facing experience, and create work you're actually proud to put on your reel, PopFizz is the place to do it.
