Content Creator (Events and Entertainment)

Job Description

As a Content Creator with The Only Dandy, you’ll be responsible for covering live events, capturing high-quality photo and video content, and producing short-form content suitable for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This role requires creativity, adaptability, and a proactive mindset to work independently on-site — often in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Event Coverage: Capture high-quality photos and videos at events, including behind-the-scenes moments, talent performances, audience reactions, and brand visuals.
• Content Editing: Edit raw footage and images into polished content aligned with our brand tone and visual identity for social media and marketing use.
• Content Delivery: Ensure timely delivery of edited content, often with quick turnaround times for use during and shortly after events.
• Pre-Event Coordination: Understand the event schedule and brief to prepare for shots, transitions, lighting challenges, and movement flow.
• On-Site Agility: Move freely and discreetly around event sites to capture key moments without disrupting event flow.
• Collaborate with Creative Team: Coordinate with the social media team to ensure content fits campaign needs, and with event managers to align with on-site schedules.

Requirements

• Experience: 1–2 years of experience as a content creator, preferably in filming/capturing events and entertainment content creation.
• Technical Knowledge: Proficient with DSLR cameras; understanding of lighting, audio, and framing in live event settings.
• Editing Software: Basic to intermediate proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Lightroom, or similar editing tools.
• Mobility: Must be comfortable traveling to event sites across UAE and working on-site at the event location.
• Work Hours: Availability for late evenings, weekends, and flexible hours based on event timings.
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio showcasing previous event work, social media edits, or video reels is required with application.

Why Join Us

• Creative Freedom: Express your unique storytelling and editing style in real-world environments.
• Event Access: Be part of Dubai’s vibrant live entertainment scene from behind the lens.
• Growth Potential: High potential for this contract role to transition into a full-time content creation position within the company.
• Flexible Work Structure: Remote content planning and editing, with on-site presence only during event times.
