Media Specialist (Video, Photo, Editing, Content)

Job Description
J&R Marketing is looking for a Media Specialist to support our growing photo, video, and content work for clients across Rhode Island.

This role is intentionally flexible and open-minded.

You do not need to have every media skill. You can have all of them, or you can be especially strong in just one or two. What matters most to us is that you’re passionate about media, excited by real client work, and constantly learning and improving your craft.

This role starts as contract, hourly work, with workloads that can fluctuate. For the right person, there is a clear path toward more consistent work and potential part-time or full-time opportunities.

What We Mean by “Media Specialist”

A Media Specialist at J&R may have strengths in:

• Photography
• Videography
• Video editing
• Photo editing
• Social media content creation

You might be:

• A strong photographer who loves capturing real-world content
• A video editor who understands pacing, storytelling, and platforms
• A videographer who enjoys shooting and editing
• A social-first content creator who understands how media performs online
• Or a hybrid creative with a mix of these skills

You do not need all of the above. We’ll shape responsibilities around your strengths.

What You’ll Be Doing (Based on Your Skill Set)

Depending on your background, your work may include:

• Shooting photography or video for client projects
• Editing photos and/or videos for marketing and social media
• Creating content for websites, ads, and social platforms
• Supporting social media content creation and direction
• Working alongside our marketing, design, and strategy teams
• Occasionally working out of our Smithfield, RI office
• Representing J&R professionally on client shoots

What Matters Most to Us
We value soft skills and mindset just as much as technical ability.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Gets genuinely excited about creative client work
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Is reliable, consistent, and easy to work with
• Learns quickly and takes initiative
• Takes feedback well and wants to improve
• Cares about how their work represents both themselves and the agency

We’re happy to provide guidance and training, as long as you have a solid foundation and the drive to keep learning.

Experience & Skills
You should have:

• Hands-on experience in at least one media-related area
• Comfort using your tools properly (camera, editing software, etc.)
• The ability to edit and deliver your own work

If you can create strong content on a phone and understand composition, lighting, and storytelling, that’s valid too.

Work Structure & Location

• Contract / hourly work (as needed)
• Workload may vary depending on client demand
• Some work will be done in-office and/or at job sites
• Must be local to Rhode Island

For the right Media Specialist, this role can grow into:

• Consistent part-time work
• Full-time opportunities

Who This Role Is Best Suited For
This role is a strong fit for someone who is:

• Early to intermediate in their career
• Confident in the fundamentals and eager to grow
• Motivated, curious, and excited by hands-on media work
• Looking for real agency experience with room to evolve

If this sounds like a position that you would be a good fit for, we look forward to you applying!
