Videographer
Retainer-Based · San Diego-Based · Path to Full-Time
Overview
MarketU is looking for a Videographer to be the creative eye behind our brand. You'll shoot one full day per week — with additional days when we travel for events — producing the visual assets that carry our marketing: brand films, founder and team content, client case studies, event coverage, and short-form for our social channels. This is a shoot-only role with real creative freedom. You walk off set with footage our editors are excited to open.
Responsibilities
- Shoot one full day per week for MarketU, planned in advance with clear briefs and room to shape creative direction
- Travel for events, conferences, client shoots, and brand activations (scheduled in advance; travel covered by MarketU)
- Bring original ideas to every shoot day — we want to be pitched, not just execute a shot list
- Direct on set: framing, lighting, movement, and talent direction are yours (often running the day solo)
- Support marketing initiatives — campaign shoots, service launches, testimonials, case studies, and culture content
- Hand off clean, edit-ready footage with organized folders, consistent naming, labeled selects, and intent notes
- Step in front of the camera and build your own presence within the MarketU ecosystem
- Shoot for Rio's YouTube channel as it grows, alongside MarketU's own channels
Abilities & Credentials
- A reel or portfolio that clears our visual bar (this matters more than your CV)
- Your own kit — camera, fast glass, gimbal/stabilization, lighting, and audio (or reliable access to it)
- Ability to run a shoot day solo: scout, light, frame, capture clean audio, keep schedule
- Strong lighting fundamentals — natural, practical, and controlled setups
- Comfort directing non-actors: founders, staff, and clients unfamiliar with being filmed
- Disciplined file management and reliable handoffs to post teams
- Based in San Diego or able to be on-site weekly, with ability to travel (valid passport preferred)
- Willingness to appear on camera and build your brand
Nice to have:
- Drone work (Part 107 certification a plus) or FPV
- Stills photography alongside video
- Event and live-environment experience
- Sense for how footage will be cut — shooting with the edit in mind
- Experience building an audience for yourself or a brand
Time Commitment
- Monthly retainer covering scheduled shoot days
- One full day per week minimum, plus additional travel days
- Available to travel for events as scheduled
- Must be based in San Diego or able to commute weekly
