Job Details

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


To Apply, Please Send


  • Your LinkedIn/CV
  • 3–5 of your best video pieces
  • A 30–60 second intro video: Why are you the right person for this role?
  • Your current location and visa status
  • Your availability
  • Your salary expectation (in AED)
  • The equipment and software you work with
