ABOUT US
Peak Design makes radical, meticulously-engineered gear for detail-obsessed people. Our backpacks, travel bags, camera gear, and phone accessories are used dang-near everywhere. If you've visited Machu Picchu, Tokyo, or an REI store in the last 10 years, you've been within ogling distance of a Peak Design product.
Alongside our award-winning gear is a brand that truly reflects who we are as people-passionate about design, deeply caring about our environmental and social impact, unafraid to speak up, radically transparent, and generally down to clown. Whether we're explaining a product, running a sale, launching a nonprofit, sponsoring a film, or razzing the biggest company on Earth, we do it with our trademark honesty, warmth, and wit. Through our products and our brand, we aim to create delight, and leave this world better than how we found it.
ABOUT THE JOB
We are hiring an intern to support our Video Team. There are currently 46 of us at Peak Design and only 3 are on the Video Team. We continue to elevate the level of in-house produced videos by being a multi-talented crew with decades of experience in video production. This position will cover a multitude of video making and storytelling aspects ranging from understanding production equipment, to composition and lighting techniques, to seeing a video project all the way through to its completion. This position will offer the opportunity to help create videos from one of the leaders in the photography and outdoor gear space.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Support the Video team in creating engaging content that will be showcased on many platforms.
- Learn the ins and out of video production, from conceptualization to completion of a project.
- Get hands-on experience with video production equipment i.e. lights, cameras, and audio.
- Support the rest of the Marketing Team with short term tasks, whether that's specific research or tracking down specific assets.
- Be willing to log and tag incoming footage with a meticulous attention to detail.
- Help maintain a tidy studio by organizing and storing gear properly.
ABOUT YOU
- Have a portfolio showcasing your best work.
- Current student or recent graduate with degree or equivalent experience in Broadcasting & Electronics Communications, Cinema Studies, or a technical school with video production experience.
- Clear communicator, both verbally and in writing.
- Your own mode of transportation and be willing to commute to our office/studio at least 4 days per week (we are headquartered in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco). Also be willing to drive to set locations around the bay area.
- Be timely on set days with specific call times.
- While on set, be attentive and responsible for your given role.
- Not be afraid to ask questions about gear or workflow.
WHAT WE OFFER
- 12-week, full-time, paid internship. $25/hr. Dates flexible, but ideally May - August, 2023.

- A project to add to your developing portfolio for future career endeavors.
- Access to the entire Peak Design team to ask questions and learn.
- Established lasting connections that will prove useful throughout the span of your career.
WHY US?
Thanks to the folks at Outside Magazine, we can tell you that Peak Design is an objectively great place to work. Why? We provide opportunities to go deep in your craft, work both autonomously and collaboratively, drive your professional growth, and recharge with flexible Fridays and unlimited paid vacation -- the saucy list of perks and benefits goes on. So, how do we maintain this exquisite way of working while also pulling off an exceptionally thoughtful brand and product line? A close-knit culture that values transparency, community, trust, and questioning the status quo.
Many employees find the way we run our business to be radically different from what they've experienced elsewhere. You might call it the opposite of micromanagement: employees are often expected to set their own priorities and roadmaps for their areas of the business. Who thrives here? Self-starters. Question-askers. People who make their own to-do lists. Folks who can do a little bit of everything. People who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty with nitty-gritty details in order to see a vision through.
If you prefer to work in a more traditional corporate environment, Peak Design might not be the place for you. But if you're pickin' up what we're putting down, we look forward to hearing from you!
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & BELONGING
At Peak Design we believe a diverse team is an innovative team and something worth celebrating. A range of perspectives and backgrounds creates a stronger and more creative work environment (not to mention more fun). We're committed to equality and inclusivity across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience.
Some candidates may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because they don't match every single bullet point - we strongly encourage you to apply anyways! If what we do resonates with you, and you feel excited and able to contribute, we're equally stoked for the opportunity to engage with you.
