You will also attend client shoots when required, contributing to preparation, filming, photography and on-site production support. This includes travel to client locations and occasional outstation assignments.

• Complete technical finishing , including colour correction and grading, audio cleanup, sound balancing, captions and subtitles.
• Prepare content in the required formats , adapting layouts, framing and exports for vertical, square and landscape placements.
• Apply feedback accurately , manage revision rounds and flag unclear instructions or delivery risks early.
• Check your work before submission , reviewing spelling, captions, brand consistency, image quality, audio, timing and export settings.
• Maintain organised project files , with clear naming, version control and accessible footage, graphics, audio and final exports.

Shooting and Production Support — Approximately 30%

• Support video and photography shoots at client premises, event venues and other agreed locations.
• Help prepare shot lists, equipment and production requirements based on the approved brief.
• Capture usable footage and photographs across different formats, including interviews, talking-head videos, lifestyle content, products, events and supporting B-roll.
• Use appropriate framing, composition, camera movement, lighting and audio techniques to achieve the intended visual style.
• Work with the team and client on location to keep shoots organised and ensure the required content is captured.
• Transfer, organise and back up footage and photographs after shoots so they are ready for editing.

What We’re Looking For

• Deliver content that follows the brief and reflects the client’s brand.
• Meet agreed timelines and communicate early when priorities or requirements affect delivery.
• Submit work that has been checked for creative and technical quality.
• Handle feedback carefully and maintain clear control of revisions.
• Capture footage that gives the editing team the coverage and quality needed.
• Keep files organised so projects can be handed over or revisited easily.
