Qualifications

• At least 2 years’ videography experience, ideally in an agency, commercial or advertising setting.
• Hands‑on experience creating social content. Understanding short‑form formats, hooks and pacing.
• Confidence with cinema cameras (FX3/FX6 or similar) and professional lighting.
• A team‑first, can‑do mindset: calm under pressure, reliable, happy to muck in and adapt quickly.
• A real hunger to learn and grow. There’s genuine progression here if you want it.
• Based in or within easy reach of Greater Manchester. You’ll be in the studio 2–3 days a week.

• Familiarity with performance metrics like hook rate, watch time and CTR.

Responsibilities

• Operating Sony FX3 (or similar) cameras and professional lighting across studio and location shoots.
• Owning audio on set: mic placement, monitoring levels and flagging issues as they happen.
• Bringing the Director’s vision to life, and adding your own eye for framing, composition and lighting.
• Planning a shot list before every shoot so you’re ready from the first scene.
• Leaving every shoot with clean, well-organised, properly named footage ready for post.
• Supporting pre‑production conversations on lighting, kit and location setup.
• Keeping up with Meta and TikTok trends and bringing fresh references to set.
