Department Overview

We're a digital-marketing agency serving businesses in various industries — roofing, exteriors, tree service, landscaping, construction. We're growing a video line built around on-site construction and job-site content for contractors, and we're looking for a videographer/editor to help shoot and cut it.
You'll be out at real job sites capturing the work as it happens, then turning that footage into short, sharp videos for our clients' ads, websites, and social. It's hands-on, fast-moving, and you'll see your work go live for actual businesses. Post-production is a big part of the role, so editors who can also shoot are a strong fit.
