Freelance Videographer

Free Agency is on a mission to empower people to reach the highest levels of their career potential. We work with talent to break the information and process asymmetries holding them back from doing more, making more, and being more. We’ve raised over $15M from world-class investors like Maveron, Resolute Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman’s Thirty Five Ventures, Palm Tree Crew, and more.

Free Agency brings Hollywood-style career management to knowledge workers, starting with the tech industry. We provide concierge services and digital products to help people find incredible jobs, make more money, and become high-performing leaders. Unlike solutions in recruiting, we’re entirely paid by the talent we work with, which enables us to provide them with dedicated Talent Agents to manage “the business end” of their career. Talent success becomes our success.

To date, we’ve helped hundreds of professionals negotiate over $340 million in offers, and work with talent building the cutting-edge future in the startup and tech industry.

About the job:

We’re looking for a skilled media generalist to join our team on a project or hourly basis. You’ll work closely with our founder/CEO on a variety of creative initiatives related to brand expansion, audio + video capture, social media, podcasting, and related events + production. You’ll be helping produce, record, and edit content with a high bar for quality, value density, and distribution.

The content types include: in-person live events (panels, fireside chats, etc), course content, mid to long-form content for YouTube, and podcasts. We shoot with cinema-level camera and audio equipment.

You will:

• Be a solo camera and audio operator, setting up ad hoc shoots in our offices or on-location
• Help plan shoots, including coordination with third party collaborators and partners
• Edit short, mid, and long-form in either Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve

You should:

• Be a media content generalist, highly capable of swapping between camera operations, audio engineering, video editing, and equipment maintenance on any given day.
• Have a natural skill at cinematography, shot framing, visual storytelling, and pace, capable of filming highly-compelling and attractive content.
• Possess strong editing skills, maintaining both a high quality standard and a fast-paced approach to getting the job done.
• Have experience using high-end camera equipment (we operate Sony FX3 and FX6 cameras, wireless mic systems with lavs + booms), lighting (soft boxes, accent lights), and editing software (DaVinci Resolve).

Please ensure your application materials include a link to your prior work.

The potential compensation for this role is expansive in potential structure, both to seniority and the candidate’s working preferences (hourly rates, day rates, and project rates are all up for grabs). As a baseline, we expect the pay range to be equivalent to $30 to $50 per hour, depending on experience.

Why Free Agency matters:

Job search and career progression are broken. Candidates haphazardly apply to jobs, meet only a few companies, settle during offer negotiation, and generally don’t optimize the process of moving along in their careers. As a result, Free Agency believes that everyone is undercompensated.

That doesn’t just have to do with the money we make, but also the teams we’re a part of, the type of work we get to do, and the alignment to mission along the way. All of this has an impact on our own satisfaction, health, and financial wellness, but we don’t give it the attention it deserves.

By aligning incentives with individual talent, Free Agency is enabled to build first-of-their-kind products & services and define a new category of career management.
