It suits a videographer with real production experience who is comfortable owning a project end-to-end across both shoot days and post-production workflow.

About the Role

The Commerce Night Videographer Associate works directly under the VP Visual Media, contributing to the full video production pipeline for the annual Commerce Night gala and its associated awards programming. A typical week in the first semester runs three to six hours and involves planning, b-roll capture, and interviews, scaling to twelve to eighteen hours per week in the lead-up to the event.

• Contribute to creative direction decisions throughout the video production process, translating project goals into visual storytelling.
• Support the planning and execution of the Group and Individual Awards Information Session and the Awards Night Gala alongside the broader team.
• Attend department meetings and Commerce Night general meetings, maintaining active communication across the production team.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience shooting and editing long-form video content, with a portfolio to show for it.
• Proficiency in professional video editing software, specifically Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Access to your own professional-grade camera, lighting, and audio production equipment.
• Strong technical judgment and a consistent standard for production quality across documentary or event videography formats.
• Ability to manage internal deadlines across a multi-month production schedule with shifting weekly time commitments.
