About The Position

Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development.

We're hiring a Videographer based in Houston to shoot and edit daily video content across youth sports tournaments, practices, games, and brand events. You'll own the camera work, the edit, and the asset library, producing short-form vertical content for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Requirements

• Portfolio of Short-Form Vertical Work: A reel of Reels, TikToks, or Shorts you've shot and edited, ideally for a brand, team, or creator account in sports, athletics, or lifestyle.
• Experience shooting handheld in fast, unpredictable settings such as sidelines, courtside, and crowded venues, with consistent results on focus, framing, and exposure.
• Proficient in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut Pro. Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, sound design, and platform-specific best practices for vertical video.
• Able to anticipate the shot, read a game or event in real time, and identify which moments will cut well in post.
• Prior experience shooting for a team, league, club, or sports brand.
• A reliable system for cards, backups, folder structure, and file naming so assets are organized and retrievable.
• Working knowledge of Descript, Runway, or CapCut's AI features.
• Based in Houston, TX. Reliable transportation to shoots across the Houston metro area.
• U.S. work authorization required.
• Own or have access to a professional camera setup (mirrorless or cinema body), lenses, audio, and basic lighting.

Nice To Haves

• Ability to build graphics, lower thirds, and animated text in After Effects or directly in your editor.
• Can pull stills during shoots and deliver photo assets alongside video.
• Comfortable running short interviews with athletes, coaches, or parents.

Responsibilities

• Shoot video at youth sports tournaments, practices, games, and brand events across Houston and surrounding areas. Plan coverage so each shoot produces multiple pieces of usable content.
• Get player highlights, behind-the-scenes moments, athlete and coach interviews, and atmosphere and B-roll footage.
• Cut Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts optimized for each platform. Handle pacing, sound design, captions, and on-screen text so each piece is ready to post.
• Own footage organization, file backups, and a searchable archive of raw and edited assets so the team can find what they need.
• Track social trends, viral formats, and new editing techniques, and apply them to the content you're producing.
• Deliver same-day or next-day edits on event content so it goes live while the moment is still relevant.
