Since 1985, we’ve been helping Australians and New Zealanders create homes they love. Today, with more than 70 stores across Australia and New Zealand, we’re known for stylish, affordable and built-to-last furniture and homewares.

We are more than a retailer- we’re a growing, dynamic business driven by creativity, customer focus and a passion for making beautiful living accessible to everyone. What truly sets us apart isn’t just our product range - it’s our people and the way we work together.

We are looking for a creative and experienced Videographer & Online Content Creator to join our Marketing team in this newly created role.

Reporting to the Marketing Operations Manager, you will bring the Early Settler brand and our products to life through engaging, high-quality video content across all customer and employee touchpoints.

You will own end-to-end video production - from interpreting briefs, developing concepts, scripting and storyboarding through to shooting, editing and final delivery. Your work will include polished campaign and product videos, engaging social content and internal product training videos for our teams across Australia and New Zealand.

In addition, you will have:

• Amazing employee discounts – Access fantastic discounts across our fabulous products. Fair warning: you may find yourself wanting to redecorate every room!
• Creative ownership – Take video projects from the first idea through to the finished product and see your work come to life across multiple channels.
• Variety and impact – Create everything from polished campaigns and product videos to fast-moving social content and employee training.

Who are we looking for?

You will have:

• 2-5+ years’ experience in videography or video content creation, ideally within retail or an omnichannel business
• A portfolio demonstrating polished, brief-to-final-edit projects and fit-for-purpose social content
• Strong planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple briefs, shoots and deadlines
• Confidence collaborating with stakeholders and directing talent on set
• Strong skills using DSLR or mirrorless and mobile cameras, lighting and audio equipment.
