Location: Dubai, UAE · on-site, with shoots across the UAE
Type: Full-time (open to strong freelancers)
About the role
We're looking for a content creator who can do both halves of the job: shoot it and run it.
You'll go on location with a camera, get the footage and photos, edit them into content that performs, then plan how one shoot becomes a month of posts. You'll own content from the idea to the results.
This role isn't only for a videographer, and it isn't only for a social media manager. We want someone who's comfortable doing both.
What you'll do
Create
- - Shoot video and photos for social media, ads and websites: products, people, spaces, events and behind-the-scenes.
- - Edit short-form video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) with strong hooks, pacing, sound and colour.
- - Shoot and retouch photography that's ready to publish.
- - Present on camera or direct others when the content needs a face.
Orchestrate
- - Plan shoots: concept, shot list, location, people and schedule.
- - Turn each shoot into a full content plan, with multiple formats, cut-downs and a posting calendar.
- - Write captions, scripts and hooks that fit each brand's voice.
- - Run the content calendar across several accounts and keep it consistent.
- - Track performance (reach, saves, watch time, leads) and adjust what you make based on the results.
Work smart
- - Use AI tools to move faster: scripting, captions, ideas, editing and image work.
- - Build simple templates and processes so content doesn't depend on any one person.
What you bring
Must-haves
- - 3+ years creating content professionally.
- - Strong videography and photography: framing, lighting, audio and camera movement.
- - Advanced editing in Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve, plus Lightroom or Photoshop.
- - A portfolio that shows content you shot and edited yourself.
- - Proof of results: accounts you've grown, or content with real numbers behind it.
- - Able to plan and run a shoot independently, from brief to final delivery.
Strong advantages
- - A UAE driving licence and your own car.
- - Your own gear: camera, lenses, lighting, mics and gimbal.
- - Motion graphics (After Effects), drone work, or paid social ads experience.
- - Experience across several brands or industries at once.
How we'll judge your application
- 1. Your portfolio: quality, range, and whether you shot it yourself.
- 2. Your thinking: how you'd turn one half-day shoot into a month of content.
- 3. Your results: real numbers, not just nice visuals.
Shortlisted candidates do a short practical test. You'll get a brief and a few hours to show us how you'd shoot and plan it.
