## Job description

To help us stay organized, please apply using the posting only and include a portfolio — it’s the best way to ensure we see your work. We are unable to review applications sent via email, direct messages, or website inquiries, and outreach through these channels may impact consideration.

## About Nen Creative

Nen Creative is an interdisciplinary studio helping early-stage startups accelerate their vision through branding, design, and marketing. Since 2022, we've partnered with some of the world’s top founders and institutions — including Amazon, Pear VC, Andreessen Horowitz, Mercor, Context Inc, Netic, Listen Labs, Tech Week, the University of Pittsburgh, Somethings, Mantis VC, Spur, Flora, and more. We’re growing fast and looking for great people to join us.

## About the Opportunity

We’re building the motion studio we always dreamed of — fast-moving, design-led, and trusted by the best in the world. In just over a year, we’ve gone from zero to partnering with Amazon, top-tier VCs, and the most ambitious startups out there. Now, we’re looking for a versatile cinematographer/producer/director/editor with a strong eye, on-set presence, and storytelling instincts to help create authentic, visually compelling stories for modern brands. Depending on your skills and interests, you may focus on one discipline or work across all — from concept and planning, to shooting and directing, to editing and delivery. You’ll join a small, fast growing team working across testimonials, light commercial shoots, and brand content — with the opportunity to grow into a larger role as we expand our commercial production arm. This is a chance to help shape the creative direction of projects from start to finish while collaborating closely with clients and our in-house team.

## What We’re Looking For

- Cinematography – A strong eye and visual taste — someone who knows how to frame a shot, light a scene, and bring a story to life.
- Producing – Confident managing production logistics, coordinating schedules, setting up gear, and keeping shoots running smoothly.
- Directing – Able to guide non-actors through interviews, direct talent on set, and collaborate with clients to achieve creative goals.
- Editing – Skilled in post-production workflows, from organizing footage to cutting polished videos with strong pacing, sound, and visual storytelling.

Bonus Points

- Experience producing, writing, or directing — or interest in growing into a fuller commercial/creative lead role
- Strong understanding of post workflows, editing, or sound
- Familiarity with studio shoots, remote capture setups, or creative content for digital platforms
- Past work in agency, branded content, or fast-paced client environments
