Video Production Lead

Anthem is hiring an experienced shooter-editor to lead our shoots and deliver finished work in the edit. You'll direct on set, interview executives and subject-matter experts, run camera, lighting, and audio, and cut what you capture. If you're as comfortable in front of a client as you are behind a timeline, we'd like to see your work.

About the Role

Anthem is a Houston-based video production company that focuses on B2B content. Much of our work happens where our clients do theirs: manufacturing plants, job sites, energy facilities, and corporate offices, along with our in-house studio.

We're looking for a seasoned, highly creative video professional to lead production projects 'll own shoot execution from call time to wrap: directing, interviewing, and running camera, lighting, and audio. When you're not shooting, you'll be editing projects alongside our post-production team. Expect roughly 50% of your time on shoots and 50% editing.

Before you apply, spend some time on our website. It will tell you who we work with and how we think about our work.

What You'll Own

• Shoot execution. Lead a small crew of 2-3 on location. You'll direct from a plan built byour team and make creative calls with the client on set.
• Interviewing. Conduct on-camera interviews with executives and subject-matter experts from prepared questions, and go off-script confidently when the conversation takes a turn.
• Camera, lighting, and audio. Run our Sony FX6 and FX3 cinema kit and our standard lighting and audio package, in the field and in studio.
• Studio and podcast sessions. Run in-house studio and podcast productions.
• On-set client experience. Be the calm, capable presence clients rely on. Solve problems as they come up and keep the day on track.
• Editing. Carry edits from raw footage to finished deliverable.
• Pre-production. Help shape the creative and production approach before the shoot, so the plan you direct from is one you believe in.
• Media handling. Offload footage from every shoot to our storage system and hand it off cleanly to post-production.
• Gear and inventory. Keep our equipment maintained, organized, and shoot-ready.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of professional shooting and editing experience, including directing on set.
• Deep command of cinema cameras (Sony FX line strongly preferred), lighting, and audio, in both studio and field environments.
• A strong interviewer who puts non-actors at ease and knows how to draw out a good story.

• Comfort working in industrial and field environments, including wearing PPE and following site safety requirements.
