Videographer/Editor

Job Overview

Are you passionate about creating high-impact social media content? Do you love storytelling through video and want to help build something from the ground up in one of the fastest-growing markets in the country?

We are expanding into the DFW (Dallas–Fort Worth) Area and are seeking a talented and driven Social Media Videographer to partner with us on a per-project contract basis.

You will capture engaging on-location content for local service-based businesses, coach clients on camera, and help bring our Content-to-Clients system to life in Texas.
