Job description

Street Interview Producer & Performance Video Creator

Turn real conversations into video ads people want to watch. You'll develop interview concepts, approach people on camera, shoot in busy public places, and edit the strongest moments into ads for oCommerce's brands.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop street interview concepts for brands with different products, audiences, and buying motivations.
• Write opening questions and follow-ups that bring out specific stories, opinions, and natural reactions.
• Scout locations and plan shoots around the audience each concept needs to reach.
• Approach potential participants confidently and respectfully, explain the project clearly, and handle rejection without losing momentum.
• Direct interviews while keeping the conversation spontaneous and the participant at ease.
• Shoot footage with strong framing and clear audio in noisy, unpredictable environments.
• Capture supporting footage and edit interviews into short video ads with effective openings, pacing, captions, and multiple variations.
• Coordinate participant permissions and keep footage, releases, and project files organized.
• Work with our creative and performance marketing teams to review results and improve the next round of concepts.
• Manage a shoot from planning through delivery, including travel, equipment, footage backup, and deadlines.

Qualifications & Skills

• A portfolio showing videos you personally helped conceive, shoot, and edit. Student projects, independent work, and professional projects are all welcome.
• Comfort speaking with people you've never met and asking thoughtful follow-up questions.
• Experience shooting interviews, documentary footage, social video, or other unscripted content.
• Strong editing instincts for short video: you know how to find the compelling moment and get to it quickly.
• Ability to capture usable dialogue and sound in public locations.
• Reliability, organization, and the ability to work independently on location.
• Willingness and ability to travel to an agreed filming market for scheduled shoots.
• A film degree is welcome but not required. Experience with street interviews, documentary reporting, hosting, casting, or performance ad creative is a plus.

What we're looking for

• Someone who can come back from a shoot with a story, not just a folder of clips.
• Someone who is comfortable hearing "no" repeatedly while approaching the next person with the same energy.
• Someone who listens closely enough to ask a better second question than the one they planned.
• Someone who can spot the difference between a polished answer and a believable, memorable moment.
• Someone curious about why a video earns attention and willing to test a different approach when it doesn’t.
• Someone who can work across brands without making every interview sound or look the same.

What we offer

• A paid interview process that lets you show how you work.
• A paid initial production gig, with scope and compensation agreed before work begins.
• A path to a full-time role if the project is a strong fit on both sides.
• Creative ownership from concept through shoot and edit.
• Direct collaboration with the teams running and measuring the ads.
• Planned filming trips, with travel arrangements and expenses agreed in advance.
• The chance to help build a new creative format across a growing portfolio of brands.
