Videographer

Hattori Hanzo Shears • Los Angeles, CA

5h • Onsite

About The Position

Hanzo is seeking an obsessive creative to lead its entire content operation, moving beyond outdated content strategies to produce engaging, scroll-stopping content. This individual will be responsible for the full lifecycle of content creation, including shooting, editing, writing compelling hooks, and establishing Hanzo's social media identity. The role requires a deep understanding of modern social media dynamics, the ability to leverage AI effectively, and a commitment to continuous testing and adjustment based on analytics. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives with significant creative control and independence, operating within a casual, friendly, and family-focused work environment that values individuality. The position is not merely a videographer or editor role, but a comprehensive content leadership position.

Requirements

• You've already done this (content creation), maybe for yourself, a creator, or a brand that didn't deserve you.
• You can point to work that performed, with numbers-on-the-screen results.
• You have taste, range, and a strong work ethic that makes other people quietly uncomfortable.
• You don't need a creative brief to know what good looks like.
• Demonstrated expertise in content creation with a proven track record of creating and executing content, providing concrete examples.
• Measurable performance results, documenting content that has achieved significant engagement and reach with specific metrics and analytics data.
• Strong creative instincts and technical proficiency, possessing refined aesthetic judgment and the technical range to execute across multiple formats and styles, understanding content strategy at a fundamental level.
• Independent creative decision-making, not requiring extensive creative briefs or approval processes to identify and execute high-quality content, with a clear understanding of what constitutes effective content.
• Not a generalist marketer who wants to "learn video."
• Not a wedding shooter looking to pivot.
• Not someone who needs a 47-slide deck before they can cut a 30-second edit.
• Not someone who thinks "going viral" is a strategy instead of a byproduct.

Responsibilities

• Fly to a different city most weeks and shoot content that actually makes people stop scrolling
• Cut short-form and long-form — and know the difference in your sleep
• Write the hooks
• Build Hanzo's identity on social from the studs up — voice, rhythm, recurring bits, the whole world
• Use AI where it multiplies you, ignore it where it flattens you
• Test, watch, adjust, repeat — until Hanzo is the brand people send to each other unprompted

Benefits

• Full benefits
• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• 401(k) with a 4% match
• Gym stipend
• A travel schedule most creators would kill for
• Creative control with a brand that's already sharp enough to cut glass
