Founder Content Videographer Job at CAL in New York

CAL, New York, NY, USA

Job type: Contract


We're hiring a Founder Content Creator based in NYC to shadow our CEO, shoot the real moments, and turn them into content that builds Cal.com's founder brand. Your mission is to be behind the camera for everything that matters and ship fast, scrappy, high-performing content across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X.

About the Role

This is a vlog-style, doc-style, "in the room where it happens" role. You'll show up, shoot, cut, and ship. You won't wait for polished briefs or production plans. You'll follow the CEO through meetings, offsites, events, dinners, and the in-between moments, and turn them into content people actually watch.

You'll work closely with the founder, brand, and growth teams and have real ownership over the founder content engine.

This is a part-time contractor role with a clear path to full-time as the content engine scales.

What You'll Do

Follow our CEO around NYC and shoot founder vlog, doc-style, and BTS content

Edit and ship fast, short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X

Cut longer-form YouTube pieces and doc-style content when the moment calls for it

Develop a consistent visual style for the founder brand and evolve it over time

Capture events, team offsites, customer meetings, dinners, and the in-between moments

Build a content library and repurpose footage across formats and platforms

Track what performs and double down on what's working

Collaborate with brand and growth on creative direction and distribution

What We're Looking For

Current NYU student, recent grad, or equivalent. Film, media, journalism, or self-taught all count

A reel or portfolio that shows you understand vlog and doc-style storytelling

You've made things on the internet and you understand what performs and why

Strong shooting instincts. You can operate a camera, frame a shot, and capture audio without a crew

Strong editing chops. Premiere, Final Cut, CapCut, DaVinci, whatever gets it done

Deep familiarity with TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube from a creator and growth perspective

Organized and self-directed. You'll manage your own shoots and deliverables

Based in NYC and available on short notice for shoots

Bonus Skills

Motion graphics, sound design, or color grading

Experience running your own channels or building an audience

Familiarity with founder content specifically (Ramp, Brex, Clay, Cluely, etc.)

Experience with developer-focused or SaaS audiences

Who You Are

You are online. You spend your free time on TikTok and YouTube and have a natural instinct for what performs

You are scrappy. You don't need a crew, a light kit, or a producer to make great content

You are fast. You can shoot in the morning and ship a cut by end of day

You care about results and think in terms of views, engagement, and brand building

You are comfortable in a founder's shadow and respectful of the moments that aren't for camera

You have taste and a point of view

Tools We Use

Your camera (we can help with gear as needed)

Premiere, Final Cut, CapCut, or DaVinci
