CapsLock specializes in providing digital marketing services to businesses facing sales growth challenges. Our services include sales consulting, data analytics, and recruitment support, ensuring efficient and accelerated growth. Founded by industry professionals in IT, design, and data analytics, we address the market need for exclusive, scalable customer acquisition solutions.

At CapsLock, we value people, client orientation, quality, continuous improvement, integrity, and strong relationships. Our diverse, global team speaks over 10 languages whose ideas inspire the innovation that runs through everything we do, from unique technology to industry-leading services and customer experiences.

We’re looking for a Video Operator who thinks like a marketer - someone who doesn’t just shoot content, but understands how to film it in a way that sells.

You will work directly with clients, actors, and bloggers to turn production plans into high-performing visual content.

You’ll take full ownership of on‑site execution - managing logistics, directing talent, and solving problems in real time while ensuring every shoot meets brand and performance standards.

This is a hands‑on, field‑based role with approximately 60–70% travel across the United States.

Responsibilities

• Execute photo and video shoots for home improvement services (roofing, windows, bathrooms, etc.), ensuring content is built to convert.
• Direct actors, homeowners, and on‑site talent to deliver natural, clear, and persuasive messaging.
• Work with predefined scripts and scenarios, ensuring accurate and effective on‑camera execution.
• Take full ownership of on‑site production — from setup and shooting to problem‑solving and wrap‑up.
• Handle real‑time challenges (location issues, delays, technical problems) independently and efficiently.
• Plan and manage shoot logistics, including travel, scheduling, equipment, and timelines.
• Evaluate locations and adapt setups to meet company visual standards and brand requirements.
• Coordinate and guide freelancers, ensuring alignment with production processes and quality expectations.
• Ensure all raw assets are properly captured, organized, and delivered according to internal standards and timelines.
• Collaborate with Creative and Marketing teams to align production output with campaign and performance goals.

Requirements:

Essential

• 3+ years of experience in video production, filming, or field shooting.
• Strong hands‑on experience with camera equipment, lighting, and on‑site production setups.
• Experience working with people on camera (actors, talent, and direct client interaction).
• Ability to independently organize and execute shoots from start to finish.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to handle unpredictable situations.
• Strong communication skills and ability to clearly direct talent on set.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently (60–70% of the time).
• Own professional equipment (camera, lighting, and essential production gear: mid‑top level DSLR, action camera/ pov camera, stabilizer).
• Fluent English — both spoken and written.

Nice to Have

• Experience in performance marketing or content creation for ads.
• Background in home improvement, real estate, or service-based industries.
• Basic understanding of video editing workflows.
• Experience working with freelance crews or production teams.
