In-studio podcast production
- Set up and operate multi-camera recording setups for podcast sessions.
- Own audio quality on set — mic setup, levels, and monitoring.
- Adjust and maintain lighting for each session.
- Manage multi-camera switching/recording through a session smoothly, troubleshooting equipment issues on the fly.Client-site production
- Travel to client businesses and locations to independently film branded content — b-roll, interviews, product/service features, behind-the-scenes, and short-form social content.
- Apply a strong creative eye on-site: read the space, identify the best angles, lighting, and shots, and adapt the shot list in real time to what the location and story actually offer.
- Operate camera, audio, and lighting equipment on location.

- Demonstrated video editing experience (e.g., Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro).
- Working knowledge of audio recording standards and on-set lighting — able to judge when a take isn't up to standard and fix it, not just point a camera.
- Fluent in spoken Arabic and English; comfortable communicating directly with clients in both.
- A strong, demonstrable creative/visual eye — candidates should be able to show a reel that reflects their own shot choices and editing decisions, not just technical competence.
- Comfortable switching between structured in-studio sessions and independent, self-directed client shoots with minimal supervision.

- A portfolio with past work.Preferred
- Experience running multi-camera podcast or interview-style productions.
