**Workplace:** hybrid

## Description

**Videographer | Hambi Media | Manchester**

**Hybrid, 2–3 studio days a week**

**Love shooting for social? Read on.**

Hambi Media is one of the UK’s fastest-growing performance creative agencies for e-commerce brands. Over £100M in ad spend has run behind our creative on Meta and TikTok, helping scale brands like Bulk, Bella & Duke, Free Soul, Prep Kitchen and Noted Aromas. We have design, production, strategy and UGC all under one roof, and in 2025 we were named the #1 independent Meta agency.

We’re hiring a Videographer to join our Production team at our Manchester studio. You’ll capture content that looks great and, more importantly, makes people stop scrolling and buy.

**What the job is really like**

No two days are the same. In the morning you might shoot a UGC concept on a phone, and in the afternoon a high-production advert on an FX3. You’ll work closely with our Directors and Producers across studio and location shoots, covering UGC, VSLs, podcasts, testimonials, branded content, B-roll and product.

**What you’ll be doing**

  • Operating Sony FX3 (or similar) cameras and professional lighting across studio and location shoots
  • Owning audio on set: mic placement, monitoring levels and flagging issues as they happen
  • Bringing the Director’s vision to life, and adding your own eye for framing, composition and lighting
  • Planning a shot list before every shoot so you’re ready from the first scene
  • Leaving every shoot with clean, well-organised, properly named footage ready for post
  • Supporting pre-production conversations on lighting, kit and location setup
  • Keeping up with Meta and TikTok trends and bringing fresh references to set

## Requirements

**What we’re looking for**

We care about attitude as much as ability.

  • At least 2 years’ videography experience, ideally in an agency, commercial or advertising setting. We’re open to a wide range of experience levels, from early-career shooters with the right skills and drive to seasoned pros.
  • Hands-on experience creating social content. Understanding short-form formats, hooks and pacing is a must.
  • Confidence with cinema cameras (FX3/FX6 or similar) and professional lighting
  • A team-first, can-do mindset: calm under pressure, reliable, happy to muck in and adapt quickly
  • A real hunger to learn and grow. There’s genuine progression here if you want it.
  • Based in or within easy reach of Greater Manchester. You’ll be in the studio 2–3 days a week, and sometimes at short notice for pickups.
  • **A showreel, portfolio or website featuring commercial, branded or social work. You won’t be considered without one.**

**Bonus points for**

  • Experience shooting for D2C brands or paid social campaigns
  • Familiarity with performance metrics like hook rate, watch time and CTR

**What success looks like**

Within your first 90 days, you’ll have shot across a range of formats, built strong relationships with the team, and have your footage running live in client ad accounts. You’ll also be using performance data to sharpen your eye.

**The process**

  • Apply with your CV and showreel/portfolio
  • 45-minute first interview with the team
  • Join us on a real shoot for a short creative task, followed by a final interview on-site (around 2 hours in total, and we’ll brief you in advance)

## Benefits

**Why Hambi?**

  • **25 days holiday** plus public holidays, an extra paid day off on your birthday, and an additional day per year after 2 years' service (up to 30 days)
  • **Private health insurance (Vitality)** and 50% off gym memberships
  • **Life insurance** including unlimited 24/7 GP access
  • **Cash plan** claim back dental, eye care, physiotherapy and counselling costs
  • **Company pension**
  • Structured training and fast progression in a fast-growing agency
  • **Professional development support**
  • Regular **team socials** and a peer-to-peer kudos/rewards system
  • A world-class client base and a creative culture that takes performance seriously
