Filmmaker

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

• A versatile, self-sufficient filmmaker who can own a production end-to-end — from concept and storyboard through shoot and final delivery — without needing a large crew around you
• A natural storyteller with strong editorial instincts: you know how to shape a compelling narrative from raw footage and make complex, technical subject matter feel accessible and engaging
• Confident directing non-professional subjects — customers, executives, engineers — and skilled at drawing out natural, relaxed on-camera performances
• Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of independence
• Curious about AI-assisted creative tools and actively integrating them into your workflow
• Willing and available to travel internationally for on-location shoots

Experience requirements

Hands-on experience operating professional camera, audio, and lighting equipment across varied on-location environments
Proven ability to own shoots from pre-production planning through on-location execution to final delivery
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
