Full Time Videographer

SEEK is hiring a Full Time Videographer based in Melbourne, VIC, to work as a dedicated personal content shooter capturing day-to-day footage for social media distribution across multiple platforms. This role sits outside traditional production structures, functioning as a one-person camera department responsible for generating a continuous stream of unscripted, run-and-gun footage spanning business, lifestyle, events, and travel content. It suits a camera operator who is comfortable working in documentary-style and social media content production, where instinct and presence matter more than a scripted shot list.

About the Role

The Full Time Videographer works directly alongside a single principal subject, operating as the sole shooter on all content captured throughout the working week in Melbourne and occasionally interstate. There is no editing component to this role, footage is organised and uploaded to Google Drive for a remote post-production team to handle, so the camera department focus is entirely on acquisition. A typical day moves across multiple locations and scenarios, from gym sessions and business meetings to public events and behind-the-scenes moments, requiring a shooter who can read a room and anticipate what is worth capturing before it happens.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate a professional camera across a range of real-world environments, maintaining consistent framing, exposure, and audio quality without a dedicated sound or lighting crew.
• Capture natural, unscripted moments suitable for short-form and long-form social media content production across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.
• Manage daily footage organisation and upload workflows to Google Drive, ensuring the remote editing team receives clearly structured, usable material.
• Travel across Melbourne to varying shoot locations throughout the week, adapting quickly to changing environments and schedules.
• Identify and capture compelling moments independently, without relying on constant direction, in the way a documentary camera operator reads developing situations.
• Travel interstate on occasion to cover events, business trips, and other content opportunities as they arise.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience as a camera operator or videographer working in social media content production, documentary, or run-and-gun production environments.
• Ownership of a quality professional camera setup is preferred, with a strong working knowledge of exposure, audio capture, and natural light shooting.
• A genuine understanding of what performs on short-form video platforms, informed by real production experience rather than theoretical knowledge.
• A current driver’s licence and reliable vehicle to move between Melbourne locations independently.
• Flexibility across working hours, including early mornings, evenings, and occasional interstate travel commitments.

Why This Role

SEEK offers a full-time, stable engagement for a Full Time Videographer at a salary of $80,000 to $90,000 plus superannuation, with flexible hours that reflect the nature of real-world content production rather than a rigid office schedule. The role provides consistent, long-term work in social media content production without the project-to-project uncertainty common to freelance camera work. For the right person, working this closely with one subject over time builds a rare depth of creative instinct that translates across any future production context.
