Job Summary

Flighthouse is seeking a Videographer & Editor to support the creation of social-first video content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

This is a hybrid production + post role for someone who is equally comfortable behind the camera and in the edit. You’ll capture compelling footage in fast-paced environments (from studio shoots to on-location activations) and transform it into highly engaging, platform-native content.

The ideal candidate understands how to shoot for social (not just traditional production), has strong instincts for pacing and storytelling, and thrives in a collaborative, high-energy environment. You should be excited about making content that feels native to today’s social ecosystem while supporting premium entertainment and brand partners. This is an in-office position, and you will be expected to work from our Los Angeles office as necessary, directed by your Manager.

Candidates must submit a portfolio or reel showcasing both shooting and editing work (social-first content preferred).

Responsibilities

• Shoot social-first video content in studio and on location (interviews, creator formats, BTS, branded content, events, etc.)
• Capture high-quality visuals using DSLR/mirrorless cameras; iPhone shooting is a strong plus
• Set up and manage basic lighting and audio in both controlled and run-and-gun environments
• Edit short- and mid-form content optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube
• Apply platform-native storytelling techniques (hooks, pacing, retention-focused edits)
• Collaborate with producers, creatives, and talent to bring concepts to life on set
• Execute quick-turn edits based on performance feedback and creative direction
• Support formatting, versioning, and delivery across platforms
• Stay current on social trends, creator formats, and evolving platform behaviors
• Troubleshoot production and post challenges in fast-moving environments
• Other duties as assigned

Qualifications

• 2 - 4 years of experience shooting and editing digital content (professional, freelance, or equivalent)
• Strong camera skills with DSLR/mirrorless systems (studio + field production)
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; familiarity with After Effects is a plus
• Strong understanding of social-first content and what performs across platforms
• Proven ability to shoot and edit with pacing, rhythm, and audience retention in mind
• Experience working in fast-paced production environments
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to work both independently on set and collaboratively with a team
• A portfolio or reel showcasing both shooting and editing work (social-first content preferred)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience shooting and editing on iPhone / mobile-first workflows
• Familiarity with creator/influencer-driven content formats
• Experience with multi-camera setups or interview lighting
• Basic graphic design or thumbnail experience (Photoshop)
• Understanding of platform analytics and performance metrics
• Experience working with entertainment or branded content

Pay Scale

• $21.63 - $24.03 per hour
• The final compensation within this range will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, skills, and overall fit for the role.
