Responsibilities
We need a reliable videographer (shooting + editing) to manage full-cycle video production (shooting through final edit) on a consistent weekly basis. No creative guesswork needed - our marketing and SMM teams provide structured briefs, references, and content plans. Your focus: crisp visuals, clear lighting/audio, comfortable on-camera talent, and meeting tight deadlines.
Plan and run shoots according to the monthly content plan agreed with the marketing team and the SMM manager.
Set up and operate camera, lighting and sound on location, working as a one-person crew.
Direct the people in front of the lens - keep speakers on script, make sure the text is delivered properly, and control how they look and sound in frame.
Film all four content types: talking-head pieces, reportage, vertical short-form, and longer formats when required.
Edit everything you shoot: cuts, pacing, subtitles, music, basic colour and sound correction, exported in the right aspect ratios.
Deliver finished videos on the agreed deadlines - up to 30 per month.
Keep footage organised: sensible file naming, backups, archive, and source files handed over to the team.
Maintain your equipment so it is charged, working and ready on every shoot day.
Coordinate access and permissions ahead of shoots together with the team.
Contribute ideas: propose formats, references and improvements to briefs rather than only executing them.
Flag risks to deadlines early, before they become missed publications.
Requirements
Hands-on experience shooting video in real estate — properties, developments, brokers or agency content.
You must have your own equipment: camera, lighting, stabiliser, audio.
Strong camera skills and a working understanding of light: how to read it, shape it, and fix it on location.
Confidence directing people on camera. Most of the people you film are not professional presenters — you keep them on script, make them comfortable, and watch how they look and sound in frame. That is part of the job, not an extra.
Solid editing skills: cuts and pacing, subtitles, music, basic colour and sound correction, correct export formats, and a tidy approach to files and versions. Nothing cinematic is expected — what matters is clean, consistent output delivered on schedule.
Marketing thinking: you understand what a video is for and who it speaks to, and you can improve a brief rather than only follow it.
A basic practical understanding of filming in Dubai — where you can and cannot shoot, and how permissions work in practice. You will not be handling this alone: our team helps with permits and with talking to developer and community representatives.
Fluent English — this is the working language inside the team.
Based in Dubai and able to travel to shoots across the city.
Portfolio — mandatory. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed. Your reel or folder must contain all three of the following:
Talking-head content — a piece where you handled the lighting, the sound and the speaker yourself;
Reportage — live, unscripted coverage of an event, a viewing or a site visit;
Vertical short-form content with a live speaker on camera.
Work filmed in Dubai is strongly preferred. For each piece, tell us what was yours — filming, lighting, editing, or all of it. We would rather see three honest pieces than a polished reel you only partly made.
Benefits
Hybrid full-time position.
A structured onboarding so you understand the company, the product and the audience from day one.
Briefs, references and a content plan from our marketing team and SMM manager — you are not left to invent the work.
Help building a workable shooting schedule around the agency’s calendar.
Support with permits and with access to developer sites and communities.
Flexibility on the editing side — deliver on time and where you cut is your business.
A consistent flow of work in a niche that builds a genuinely strong portfolio — Dubai real estate.
