- This is a hands-on, mid-level creative role with ownership of production from concept to final edit.

- Shoot direction: preparing shot lists, guiding subjects, coordinating locations and contributors, and managing practical production requirements.
- Photography and videography using DSLR or mirrorless cameras and mobile equipment where appropriate, with effective lighting and clean audio.
- Post-production, including editing, colour correction, sound treatment, captions, basic motion graphics, and image retouching.
- Platform-specific assets for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Circo’s website, and paid campaigns, adapted for format, pacing, and audience behaviour.

- Consistent visual quality and brand expression in collaboration with Content Marketing and creative leadership.
- An organised asset library, including source files, final exports, relevant permissions, and reusable footage.

What We Are Looking For
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience in visual storytelling, videography, photography, multimedia production, or a related creative role.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating both photo and video work, including social-first storytelling and examples you produced from concept to delivery.
- A sharp eye for composition, detail, pacing, and brand aesthetics, with the ability to capture natural, unscripted moments.
- Experience planning and directing shoots, interviewing subjects, and helping people feel comfortable on camera.
- Practical proficiency with cameras, lighting, microphones, and production equipment.
- Proficiency in video and photo editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Lightroom, Photoshop, or equivalent software; basic motion design is an advantage.
