About The Position

Bilt is establishing an in-house Media Studio, a state-of-the-art brand marketing team dedicated to developing original social media intellectual property and series. Following the success of their Webby Award-winning series, Roomies, the company plans to expand its portfolio with innovative content over the next year. The Video Lead will serve as the creative driving force for this team, responsible for shooting, editing, and actualizing new concepts. This role involves close collaboration with the Senior Content Director and an in-house Producer, under the guidance of the CMO, to conceptualize, test, and refine new series, transforming initial ideas into published content with significant audience engagement. It is characterized as a 'maker role' suited for a curious and creative individual who draws inspiration from various sources and is eager to contribute to the evolving media landscape.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in video production with hands-on shooting and editing.
• Strong proficiency with camera systems (Sony preferred) and comfortable managing your own gear.
• Strong visual eye—you know how to create striking images through camera, lighting, and color.
• Excellent editorial instincts, especially with dialogue and narrative.
• Fluent in the language of internet content (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube).
• Excited by the opportunity to build something new—this is a startup within a startup.

Nice To Haves

• Experience creating serialized or episodic social content.
• Background in comedy, documentary, or narrative filmmaking.
• Motion graphics or After Effects skills.
• Experience working in a small, fast-moving in-house creative team.

Responsibilities

• Shoot video independently or with a small team, managing the execution of camera, lighting, and audio.
• Lead gear management, ensuring we have exactly the best, leanest setup on any given set.
• Develop and execute the visual language for new series—framing, color, movement, tone.
• Edit content end-to-end, with a particular strength in dialogue (scripted and unscripted) and narrative.
• Cut for social-first formats—you understand hooks, retention, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
• Have a strong feel for color, sound, and finishing to ensure a polished final product.
• Partner with the Director to develop new show ideas and formats from scratch.
• Bring a wide range of visual references, inspiration, and original ideas to the table.
• Stay plugged into the social and media landscape and bring that perspective to our development process.
