Position Summary

The Retail Marketing Videographer produces the video that sells mophie product at retail — including in-store display and endcap loops, demo and feature-explainer videos for retail partner product pages, launch assets for the retail channel, and sales-enablement and trade show content. This role shoots in-studio and on location, edits, and builds motion graphics in After Effects, delivering assets that conform to each retail partner's specifications and to mophie brand standards.

The ideal candidate is a polished, detail-driven craftsperson: strong on camera, lighting, and audio; fluent in After Effects; and comfortable working to fixed specifications, brand guidelines, and a retail calendar with hard in-store dates. This role does not own social channels. Social-first vertical content sits with the Social Media Videographer; this role may supply source footage and cutdowns to that function.

Key Responsibilities

Shoot

• Shoot product, tabletop, and lifestyle video in-studio and on location
• Operate camera, lighting, and audio on solo and small-crew shoots
• Set up and strike studio lighting, grip and set; light product for clean, repeatable brand-standard results
• Serve as second camera / camera operator on larger campaign shoots
• Shoot demo and how-to content that shows product function clearly and accurately
• Capture on location at retail environments, events, and trade shows as needed

Edit and Animate

• Edit retail marketing video from raw capture through final delivery
• Build motion graphics in After Effects: product callouts, feature animations, spec cards, lower thirds, and end frames
• Maintain and extend After Effects templates so recurring asset types stay consistent and fast to produce
• Edit for silent playback first — in-store screens run without audio, so meaning carries on visuals and on-screen text
• Color and finish to brand standard across all delivered content
• Version and conform assets to each retail partner's aspect ratio, runtime, loop, and file-format specs

Retail Channel

• Produce in-store display, endcap, kiosk, and shelf-screen loops
• Produce product-page and listing video for retail partner and e-commerce placements
• Deliver launch video packages for the retail channel, timed to in-store and on-shelf dates
• Produce sales-enablement and trade show video for the retail sales team
• Work from retail partner brand guidelines and co-op marketing requirements without needing them re-explained each cycle
• Partner with retail marketing and product teams on messaging, claims, and feature accuracy

Operate

• Manage media end to end: ingest, back up, organize, and archive footage to team standards
• Deliver against a retail calendar with fixed, non-moving in-store dates
• Maintain camera and studio equipment; flag repair and replacement needs
• Contribute ideas in content planning, shot listing, and batch shoot prep

Qualifications

Required Experience

• 3–5 years of professional video production and editing experience
• Reel or portfolio demonstrating product, commercial, or brand marketing video
• Experience delivering to fixed specifications and brand guidelines, not just open creative briefs

Camera, Lighting and Audio

• Strong fundamentals in camera operation (mirrorless or cinema bodies)
• Studio lighting: strobe and continuous, including product and tabletop setups
• Location lighting and the judgment to work quickly in uncontrolled spaces
• Production audio: mics, levels, and clean capture on interview and demo setups
• Comfortable with gimbal work — stabilized movement, tracking, and walk-and-talk shots

Post Production

• Adobe After Effects: motion graphics, product animation, and template building and maintenance
• Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve
• Color grading to a consistent brand standard
• Confident versioning and conforming assets across multiple aspect ratios, runtimes, and delivery specs

AI Skills

• Baseline working fluency is expected; not an AI specialist but a user who leverages AI tools to move faster
• Comfortable using AI in normal post workflow: generative fill and object removal, background cleanup and extension, rotoscoping and tracking assistance, upscaling, transcription, and auto-captioning
• Able to write clear prompts and iterate toward usable results rather than accepting the first output
• Uses AI for supporting work — asset versioning, copy and on-screen text drafts, concept and storyboard exploration — while keeping final creative judgment their own
• Understands limits in a retail context: product must be represented accurately, with no fabricated product imagery, invented features, unverified claims, or AI-generated likeness without clearance
• Willing to learn and adopt new tools as the team's workflow changes

Working Style

• Able to manage multiple deliverables on deadline with minimal supervision
• Precise about specs, file naming, versioning, and delivery — retail dates do not move
• Able to lift and move production equipment up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods on shoot days

Preferred

• Consumer electronics, accessories, or other consumer-products brand experience
• Experience delivering to major retail partners and their asset specifications
• Advanced color grading and node-based workflows in DaVinci Resolve
• 3D product animation or render work (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar)
• Still photography capability for retail, packaging, and e-commerce use
• Experience with packaging, POP, or print production and how video assets sit alongside them
• Trade show or event production experience
