[Hiring] Senior Field Videographer @FieldWrk

Role Description

Your mission as Sr. Field Videographer, should you choose to accept it: Shoot video and photo that celebrate the people behind hardworking industries, tell impactful stories, and help our clients grow their brand through high-quality production content.

NOTE: This role requires about 50% travel and potentially extended days on active jobsites. There will be a paid contract videography project to ensure fit prior to any full-time offer.

This role exists to own the visual execution of our video and photo work in the field, in a way that resonates with our industry and delivers on the Creative Director's vision and goals for each piece. You'll act as our field lead for shoots:

• Conducting interviews
• Working with clients on site
• Ensuring safe, authentic, and meaningful content is captured

The footage and photos you capture become the brand videos, recruiting content, social media, and photography our clients use to win work and hire people.

We're looking for a Sr. Field Videographer with 3–5 years of videography and photography experience who is ready to lead in the field and wants to grow into a Video Director role at a growing agency.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional videography and photography experience at an agency, production company, in-house team, or as a freelancer.
• A portfolio showing a mix of documentary-style work, social media content, and scripted or commercial work.
• Advanced command of shooting styles, cinematography, and framing.
• Advanced knowledge of camera technical specs, codecs, and formats.
• Experience shooting still photography on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
• Strong storytelling instincts.
• Proven ability to execute someone else's creative vision while adding your own craft and ideas.
• Solid understanding of location audio, including onboard mics and lavs.
• Solid editing skills in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, including color grading.
• Comfort directing real people on camera, including non-actors in interviews.
• Organized and self-directed, with the ability to juggle several projects on tight timelines.
• Clear, direct communication and strong collaboration, leadership, and teamwork skills.
• Willingness to travel about 50% of the time (10–12 days per month).
• Drone operation: An FAA Part 107 drone certification.

Requirements

• Lead shoots on active jobsites with safety top of mind.
• Run the schedule and lead the crew to stay on task, on the creative strategy, and safe on site.
• Shoot video and still photography; both may be required on smaller projects.
• Bring scripts and storyboards to life for both documentary and scripted work.
• Lead interviews, put interviewees at ease, and steer conversations toward usable, on-message moments.
• Direct talent through scripted scenes, checking performance, framing, and continuity against the creative.
• Capture B-roll and coverage that give the edit options, and make quick creative calls when plans change.
• Manage media on site and log notes for the edit.
• Work with strategists and Creative/Art Directors to unpack briefs and align on vision, references, and key messages.
• Build mood boards, visual treatments, and shot lists for each project.
• Prep, test, and pack equipment before each shoot, including charging batteries and formatting cards.
• Write up shoot notes and lead shoot debriefs to prepare the editors and team for post.
• Create work orders: paper edits for documentary pieces, circle takes for scripted content, and all technical and creative specifications.
• Advise on in-house gear purchases and maintain our equipment inventory.
• Pitch ideas for new formats, stories, and visual approaches.
