Lead Videographer

IN A NUTSHELL

At Bellroy, video storytelling has been an integral part of our brand for over 15 years. From handcrafted stop-motions to day-in-the-life carry portraits, we've achieved this without big budgets, sprawling sets or external agencies. Just a genuine appetite for good ideas and the will to painstakingly make them happen, one frame after the next.

We are now seeking a Lead Videographer to join Bellroy's Creative team. Someone who can continue to push our creative boundaries and tell stories with soul, spark, and originality.

You'll take the reins on our video production across a variety of formats – from polished global ad campaigns to scroll-stopping social reels. You'll concept, shoot, direct, edit, colour, and experiment – including how AI is shaping creative work. And you'll work closely with a tight team of writers, art directors, photographers and marketers to showcase the Bellroy brand to millions of eyes across the world.

But you're more than just a technician. You're optimistic, resourceful and compelling; with creativity woven into your core. You bring perspective on what makes a good story, and strive to leave your audience having felt something. Whether that's a useful insight, belly laugh or healthy dose of inspiration for their next adventure.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU HAVE...

• 5+ years experience in a video production role (agency, studio or in-house)
• Pro-level skills in shooting, editing (Premiere, Da Vinci or Final Cut), lighting, and colour grading.
• The skills to switch between hi-fi cinematic and lo-fi social creation – comfortable operating larger camera rigs vs. a hand held iPhone

• Experience in advertising, and how to create videos that get attention (and clicks) – whether that's a 6sec bumper or 30sec TVC

• An appreciation of product design (or a similar space) that you like to go deep and geek out on. Unpacking how even the most seemingly mundane of things can peek interest if shared in interesting ways

• A clear perspective on how AI can elevate or streamline your work

• A collaborative spirit. You're a team player and bring a can-do attitude that turns roadblocks into creative challenges.

• Skills in motion or title design are seen as a real bonus

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST MONTH, YOU MIGHT HAVE...

• Created a series of TVCs for an upcoming travel campaign. Nursing the idea through from brainstorm to storyboard to the editing suite.
• Collaborated with the Social Team on a "Will it fit" reel, innovating on past successes
• Put yourself in our customers shoes and created a video to help them better understand our latest carry-on luggage. Showing how it can be packed, wheeled and repaired in a concise edit that's optimised for e-commerce.
• Pitched and guided the strategy for Bellroy's YouTube channel, encompassing diverse content like designer deep dives, founder interviews, podcasts, and care videos

• Followed a cyclist at 50km p/h to capture content of a new technical backpack we're releasing. Thinking of innovative ways to capture movement without the need for elaborate or expensive rigs.

• Output three videos for an ABC test, measuring the impact of different audio approaches (voiceover, music, ASMR effects) on watch time

• Experimented with a new AI tool you've had on your radar, demo'ing it back to the broader team thinking about ways to apply it
• Made multiple trips to Bunnings in one day, scrounging supplies to turn our photostudio into a mountain landscape. Complete with snow, rain, smoke and a giant wind machine

LOCATION AND HOURS

This role is full-time and based in our Melbourne HQ (Collingwood) shooting both in and out of the studio – some travel may be part of the fun.
