Job description
We're looking for a Dubai-based Founder Content Creator & Videographer to become the visual storyteller behind a growing personal brand. This isn't a marketing coordinator or editor-only role - you'll be embedded with the founder, filming and editing content end-to-end, directing shoots, and helping shape a brand's story across social media.
Think less "social media manager," more founder-embedded storyteller.
What You'll Do
- Film and edit short-form content end-to-end (no handoffs - you own the full process)
- Direct the founder during shoots to get the best, most authentic footage
- Develop hooks, story angles, and recurring series ideas - spotting a story in an ordinary business day
- Publish across Instagram Reels/Stories, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, adapting content per platform
- Track performance (watch time, completion, saves, shares) and iterate based on what's working
- Maintain organized raw footage, project files, and a running content/idea board
Skills
What You Need
- Based in Dubai/UAE already (remote applicants will not be considered)
- Strong command of English
- A portfolio of at least 3 strong short-form pieces where your own contribution (filming and/or editing) is clearly explained
- Proven end-to-end skills - you can both film and edit, not just one or the other
- Proficiency in CapCut (Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro is a bonus)
- Fast, independent, reliable, and open to feedback
- A driver's license and own mobility in Dubai is a strong plus
Nice to Have
- Experience creating content for founders, entrepreneurs, or personal brands
- Background in real estate, hospitality, lifestyle, or event content
- An eye for documentary-style or behind-the-scenes storytelling
- German language skills (not required, but a plus for our DACH-market audience)
What This Role Is Not
- Not a classic marketing manager or performance marketer role
- Not a social media manager who mainly manages calendars, posts, and reports
- Not a graphic designer or Canva specialist
- Not a cameraman who only films on exact instruction
- Not an editor who waits for finished raw footage
Work Rhythm
- One prepared content/shoot block per week, plus selective coverage of relevant meetings and events
- You bring hooks, themes, and series ideas to each session - not the other way around
- First cuts delivered within 24–48 hours, with a short, consolidated feedback round
- Target output: consistent weekly short-form content, expanding to Stories, TikTok/Shorts adaptation, and select LinkedIn founder moments
