Social Content Videographer

About the Role
Ascent Digital Agency is looking for a Social Content Videographer who lives and breathes short-form video. Not a filmmaker. Not a wedding shooter. A scroll-stopper, someone who instinctively knows how to hook a viewer in the first two seconds, tell a story in fifteen, and make a home service business look like a brand worth following.

You’ll be embedded with our creative team in Durango, shooting and editing vertical Reels for clients on video retainers — content that runs both as organic social and paid ads on Meta. This is a high-output, high-impact role. If your camera roll is full of ideas and your edit timeline is where you feel most alive, keep reading.

What You’ll Do
Shoot & Direct

Plan, shoot, and direct short-form vertical video content for multiple client accounts

Capture compelling footage on client job sites, in the field, and in-studio as needed

Concept and execute Reels with a strong hook, clear narrative, and a call-to-action built for conversion

Direct clients and their teams on camera — putting people at ease and pulling out authentic moments

Edit & Deliver

Edit short-form video content optimized for vertical (9:16) format across Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and Meta paid placements

Apply motion graphics, text overlays, captions, transitions, and sound design that match platform-native aesthetics

Manage your own edit pipeline — organized, versioned, and delivered on time

Leverage AI-powered editing tools to accelerate production without sacrificing quality

Think Like a Strategist

Understand the difference between organic content and paid ad creative — and tailor your approach accordingly

Stay ahead of short-form video trends, formats, and platform algorithm changes

Bring creative concepts to the table — not just execution, but ideas that move the needle for client campaigns

Collaborate with the Content Coordinator and Client Success team to align video content with broader account strategies

What We’re Looking For

A portfolio that proves it — Reels, short-form vertical video, and social-native content that performs (not just looks good)

Strong shooting skills with a camera (DSLR/mirrorless) and/or iPhone-level mobile production

Proficiency in video editing software — CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or equivalent

A genuine understanding of what makes short-form content work for businesses — hooks, pacing, storytelling, CTA

Comfort working across multiple client accounts and industries simultaneously

Self-directed and organized — you manage your own shoot schedule and edit queue without hand-holding

Strong communicator who can collaborate with a creative team and take (and give) clear feedback

High energy, low ego — you work hard, have fun, and make everyone around you better

Nice to Have

Experience creating paid ad creative for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) with an understanding of performance metrics

Background in marketing, media production, or a creative agency environment

Experience with motion graphics or basic animation (After Effects, CapCut templates, etc.)

Familiarity with home service businesses — lawn care, pest control, construction, and the trades

Experience with AI video tools (Runway, CapCut AI, or similar) as part of a production workflow

Compensation
$50,000 – $60,000

annually, depending on experience
