Job Description

The Multimedia Visualist is the dedicated visual engine of the agency’s creative department. Reporting directly to the Social Producer, this highly technical and artistic role is responsible for the end-to-end execution—capturing, editing, and delivering—of premium photography and short-form video assets across multiple client accounts.

While the Social Producer owns the conceptual strategy, client communication, and timeline logistics, the Multimedia Visualist owns the physical craft. You will transform creative briefs into thumb-stopping, platform-native visual assets optimized for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and digital ad suites. This role requires an agile creator who can switch brand aesthetics mid-day and possesses a flawless eye for modern social trends, lighting, pacing, and color.

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. Proactively flag repair or upgrade needs.
• Trend R&D: Dedicate time to analyzing evolving social media visual styles, algorithmic editing trends, and new platform features to keep client content looking ahead of the curve.

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.

Job 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.
