Senior Podcast & Video Production Specialist

BiSSMiXi is a refined discovery media brand based in Abu Dhabi. We feature founders, creators, specialists and premium brands through curated discovery content, our AI video production studio, and our podcast, Discovery Conversations, published on You Tube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. We are building in-house podcast studios in our new office and are bringing filming and post-production fully in-house.

We are looking for a senior video specialist who is equally confident in the studio and on location. You will own the look, sound and finish of our podcast. You will also film outside the studio: at events, at guest and brand locations, and for company content. We want someone whose standard matches the calibre of our guests, and who is flexible enough to move between a controlled studio set and a live shoot in the field.

• Plan and set up podcast shoots: camera selection, lenses, framing, camera positions and multi-cam angles for 2-4 person conversations
• Advise on and build out our in-house studios, including cameras, lighting, audio, monitoring and set layout, and recommend the right equipment to buy
• Light the set for a premium, cinematic look consistent with our brand
• Capture clean, broadcast-quality audio (lavalier and studio microphones, mixers, recorders)

• Film outside the studio: events, interviews on location, founder and brand features, product and venue shoots, and behind-the-scenes content
• Scout locations and adapt quickly to changing light, sound and space
• Work handheld, on gimbal and on tripod, and run compact lighting and audio kits in the field
• Capture B-roll and cutaways that lift the final edit

• Edit full episodes from multi-camera footage: pacing, cuts, colour grading, audio mixing and cleanup
• Edit on-location footage into features, highlight films and social content
• Apply our brand video kit to every piece: titles, lower thirds, chapter cards, endscreens and subtitles (Arabic and English)
• Cut short-form highlights and reels (9:16) for Instagram, Tik Tok and You Tube Shorts
• Manage files, backups and media organisation, and prepare You Tube deliverables (thumbnail frames, chapters, export specs)

• 5+ years of professional video production experience, covering both studio work (podcasts, interviews or talk formats) and on-location filming
• A degree, diploma or certification in film, video production, media or a related field
• Strong command of multi-camera shooting and editing
• Confident camera operator in the field: exposure, focus, movement, gimbal work and run-and-gun shooting
• Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve, including colour grading
• Solid audio skills on set and in post (Adobe Audition, iZotope RX or similar)
• Hands-on knowledge of cinema and mirrorless cameras (e.g. Sony, Blackmagic, Canon), lenses, lighting and audio gear
• A sharp eye for composition, lighting and premium visual quality
• Flexible with schedules and locations; a valid UAE driving licence is an advantage
• Organised, reliable with deadlines, and able to work independently
• Fluent English;
  Arabic is a strong advantage, as many of our episodes are bilingual

• Motion graphics in After Effects
• Experience setting up a podcast or broadcast studio from scratch
• Drone filming, with a valid UAE drone permit
• Live-switching or live-streaming experience (ATEM or similar)
• Familiarity with AI tools for editing, captions or audio cleanup
