Videographer & Editor

We’re looking for a talented and creatively driven in-house Videographer & Editor to join The Podcast Guys®. This is a hands-on role at the heart of a fast-evolving industry, where podcasts and video podcasts are continuously redefining how stories are told and experienced. You’ll play a key part in shaping that evolution - crafting compelling visual content that brings branded podcasts to life across YouTube, social platforms, live events, and beyond. With a current 40/60 split between shooting and post-production, this role offers a strong focus on editing while still giving you the opportunity to influence how content is captured.

Working closely with Producers and collaborators, you’ll help design and execute production setups that not only meet creative briefs but elevate them. While podcasts are our core, our work often extends far beyond the sit down conversation. As a trusted content partner to our clients, we film globally across a wide range of environments - from scientific labs to cinema roundtables with Roger Deakins, to capturing stories on the ground at New York’s Climate Week. The variety is part of the role, and no two projects are ever the same. From polished video podcasts and audio-first podcasts for platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts, to fast-turnaround social clips and live event coverage, you’ll be responsible for delivering content that is engaging, agile, and aligned with brand goals. You’ll also support ad-hoc productions - whether that’s running remote recordings via Riverside or editing on the ground at conferences - thriving in an environment where adaptability and creative instinct are key.
