Job post: Videographer / photographer in Aveiro

Most people I talk to say, "What... does such a job even exist?" Yes, and here it is!

I'm Jens, founder of RunRepeat, the world's most influencial website about running shoes (... and other athletic footwear). 4 million people read our reviews each month. If you're a professional videographer, you need to join our team.

Why you'll love working with us

• 100% flexibility. No rules about when you work, as long as you do your job. No 9 am to 6 pm. Do what works for YOU! 
• We have minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy. In RunRepeat, you OWN your work. There are no deadlines, other than the ones you set yourself. 
• Barely any meetings. I myself have zero planned meetings per week.
• ~10 warm colleagues from around the World: Portugal (2), Spain (2), Ukraine (2), Serbia (2), Denmark (1, that's me, your boss), Poland (1), and Argentina, living in Portugal (1). 
• A yearly meetup, all paid for by RunRepeat. We’ve previously been to: Greece, France, Turkey, Thailand, the Philippines, Bulgaria, Italy, and Denmark.

What you might not love

• Only 3 of your colleagues are working from Aveiro (2x photographer + 1x biomechanical engineer). The rest of us work remotely, from home. You do not get to see most of your colleagues a lot. While I'd love everyone to be in Aveiro, the existing team is so good and has been here 7+ years on average. 
• You'll work from Aveiro at least 4 days/week (we'll pay for relocation if needed). The other day(s), you'll be editing and can work from the lab or remotely. 
• Our feedback culture is direct and not packaged and polished. It's not for everyone. 
• We're focused on our work, and there's not a lot of chit-chatting. 
• Some work is repetitive and requires attention to detail. We have a standardised protocol to follow for our reviews. 

Your job in a nutshell

The job consists of two primary responsibilities.

(1) Primary task: Videography 

Shoot and edit mostly reels for Instagram and the likes, but later also longer-form media for social media

1. Shoot
2. Edit

Also relevant to work on if interested: (3) participate in ideation, (4) SoMe management (posting, scheduling, engaging). Otherwise someone else from the team will handle that part. 

(2) Secondary task: Photography for lab reviews

1. Organise shoes for testing
2. (Optional benefit) Go for a run in the shoes (only if you're size US 9 +/-)
3. Shoot contextual photos of the shoes
4. Shoot indoor lab testing photos and videos
5. Cut the shoes in half and run through our full testing protocol - no experience needed, we'll teach you. This is a significant part of the job
6. Edit photos and short video clips, documenting our testing. 

The end result is the media that you see on our lab-tested shoes - see an example here.

While the above are your primary tasks, we have lots of other tasks to be done, depending on your interests and skills.
