The role
We're looking for a mid–senior Filmmaker to own the full video creative lifecycle at Encord — from concept to final cut. You're equally excited and comfortable behind the camera as you are in the edit suite: shooting on location with customers worldwide, crafting product stories, and collaborating closely with our design and growth teams to create content that's both strategically sharp and visually compelling.
What you'll do
- Shooting & Production
- Handle all on-site production: directing subjects, operating camera, managing lighting and audio, and adapting to varied environments
- Plan and execute on-location shoots with customers worldwide — interviews, product demonstrations, and b-roll capture
- Put people at ease on camera — skilled at building rapport quickly and drawing out natural, confident performances from customers and executives who aren't used to being filmed
- Own pre-production logistics — storyboarding, scheduling, equipment prep, and location scouting
- Product & Company Content
- Produce product demo videos and feature walkthroughs that make complex technical capabilities accessible to enterprise buyers
- Create company narrative content — brand films, culture videos, fundraising materials, and executive communications
- Build a reusable library of product footage and assets for use across sales, marketing, and investor contexts
- Editing & Post-Production
- Edit short to medium-form content across formats: customer stories, product explainers, social clips, and event recaps
- Enhance content with motion graphics, colour grading, and sound design
- Maintain a consistent visual identity across all output in line with Encord's brand
- Collaboration
- Work closely with Encord's design team to ensure video is coherent with the broader visual identity
- Partner with the growth team to align production with campaign timelines and demand generation goals
- Develop scripts and concepts that resonate with a technical, enterprise audience
- Coordinate with external freelancers or agencies when needed
What we're looking for
- 5–8 years of professional filmmaking experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates range across both long and short-form content — including at least some combination of customer stories, product content, brand films, or corporate communications
- Proven end-to-end production capability: you can own a shoot from pre-production planning and storyboarding through on-location execution and final delivery, without relying on a large crew
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and the broader Adobe CC suite, with strong post-production skills across colour grading, sound design, and motion graphics; After Effects experience is a strong plus
- Hands-on experience operating professional camera, audio, and lighting equipment across varied on-location environments
- Demonstrated ability to direct non-professional subjects — customers, executives, technical practitioners — and draw out natural, confident on-camera performances
- Strong editorial instincts, with the ability to shape a compelling narrative from raw footage and translate complex or technical subject matter into accessible, engaging content
- Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of independence and organisational rigour
- Willingness and availability to travel internationally for on-location shoots
- Active interest in AI-assisted creative tools as part of a modern production workflow
- Bonus: Prior experience producing B2B or enterprise tech content; familiarity with AI, deep tech, or developer-focused products; skills in 3D, data visualisation, or technical motion graphics
