Job description

Job title: Videographer - Full-time, on location in Los Angeles

Application closes: November, 30 2026

Planned start date: January 11, 2027

I’m Gabriel Fontes, Head of Production at Pickup Music and I’ll be hiring for this role.

We’re hiring a videographer as we scale into new instruments and run more sets. You’ll help us improve the quality of our video and release more music education content for our members.

About the job

You’re the right person for the job if you fit the following four requirements:

• You are highly technical and skilled at video production - you have mastered video, lighting and are comfortable with audio, set design and working with talent.


• You have great creative sensibility.


• You are comfortable working in small teams - we have small teams and lighter mirrorless cameras at Pickup Music by design. You enjoy the creative challenge of optimizing quality while maximizing quantity of content.


• You want to work in-house at a growing education technical company - you want to move away from long days on set or corporate gigs. You want a Monday-Friday career role with normal working hours where you have ownership over your work.

If you have other relevant skills such as audio, editing, graphics or music production, please share that with us in your cover letter. Share your strengths and we can find ways to use them.

About Pickup Music

Pickup Music is a leading music-education company based in Los Angeles that has been growing steadily since 2016. We are the leaders in structured, long form learning with over 50,000 members for guitar, bass, piano and soon drums.

Where is it based?

This is a full time role based in Los Angeles. The hours are normal working hours - Monday to Friday. You’ll be in the studio on set close to 100% of the time - this is a fully in-person role. The studio is currently in North East LA and we may be getting a new production space that you’ll work in as well.

What’s the pay?

This role pays $60,000-$80,000/year.

We offer a 401K 4% match, healthcare, 20 days paid leave, sick leave, and parental leave.

What’s the work look like?

Here’s the work you’ll do in your first month:

• Learn how we do video at pickup and help improve it. We have 10 years experience in video and are the leader in music education at video.


• Film your first class. We have a busy production schedule for the rest of the year. You’ll hit the ground running and run video and audio on set.


• Work on the occasional larger set. 90% of this job is on set running video and audio for class content. A couple of times a month we do larger teams for our band session videos or Youtube videos where you’ll camera operate.


• Day to day, you’ll be working closely under me and our producers and with our wider post-production team.

Our approach to content at Pickup is highly iterative. Every new class we produce we review and find ways to improve. You’ll quickly build a body up a body of work, see how it helps people learn music, and be a part of a team that is continually improving.
