What You’ll Be Doing

• Own video production end‑to‑end, including in‑office studio shoots, podcasts, on‑location customer testimonials, conference/event content, recruiting and brand films, and product/launch videos.
• Handle pre‑production: scope shoots, build shot lists, and solve problems on paper before the crew arrives.
• Manage agency and freelance relationships from scoping and budgeting through on‑set direction and final quality control.
• Serve as lead editor, cutting projects yourself and directing external editors as needed.
• Develop a repeatable playbook covering formats, studio workflow, partner selection, and a pipeline that turns one production day into a month of content.

What You’ll Bring

• End‑to‑end range with real depth across pre‑production, production, and post‑production, demonstrated by a portfolio of both footage you shot and cuts you made.
• On‑set craft: command of camera, lighting, and audio, including multi‑camera interview setups and clean sound capture.
• Directing instinct: ability to make non‑professional talent feel natural on camera.
• Pre‑production discipline: habit of solving problems on paper before the crew shows up.
• Editorial judgment: strong sense of quality for cuts and clear, constructive feedback for others.
• Partner management: track record scoping, briefing, budgeting, and directing agencies and freelancers.
• AI in the workflow: eagerness to use AI for scripting, transcript‑driven assembly, and generative assets.
• 0‑1 mindset: comfort building the video function and its processes from scratch.

Other Non‑negotiables

• 4–7 years producing and editing video, ideally on an in‑house brand or creative team or at a production company serving brand clients.
• Command of Premiere or Resolve, plus enough After Effects (or equivalent) to handle light motion work.
• A reel that demonstrates both shooting and editing.
• In‑person presence 5 days a week in the Flatiron office (when not traveling).

What We’d Love To See

• Studio and podcast production: a room, rig, or show you stood up and ran on a reliable schedule.
• Customer storytelling: testimonial or case‑study video, especially shot on location at a customer’s office.
• Event capture: conference or live‑event production, turning a few days of footage into a full content slate.
• Motion design: design and animation chops that let you raise the quality bar without outsourcing.
• B2B range: work for a business audience that people actually choose to watch.
• Accounting industry fluency: familiarity with the accounting profession and genuine curiosity about the people on camera.

What Success Looks Like

• Customer proof on demand: testimonial video ready whenever a conference, launch, or campaign needs it.
• A studio that runs: the podcast ships on schedule, and production quality drives viewership.
• Partner leverage: agencies produce stronger work for Basis because pre‑production and direction are tight.
• Compounding output: every production day yields a hero piece plus platform‑native cuts, planned in advance.
• Operational scale: a documented video playbook enables the team to 10× output without 10× effort.
• Brand authority: Basis becomes synonymous with the future of AI in accounting through consistently high‑quality, shareable video.
