ABOUT THE ROLE

Sailing Social is looking for a creative, reliable freelancer who understands social media and knows how to film professional video. This is a work-from-home role with on-location client shoots throughout Charleston. You'll start with individual projects, with opportunities for consistent monthly client assignments as we grow. We need someone who can come up with ideas, write engaging scripts, direct clients, and create polished social media content. You'll also communicate with your assigned clients and help keep their content organized from planning through posting. Directing clients is a major part of this job. You should feel comfortable telling someone where to stand, how to move, what to say, and how to deliver it naturally. Many clients are nervous or inexperienced on camera and will rely on you to confidently guide them. Experience filming realtors, business owners, and personal brands is strongly preferred. Event videography experience alone is not enough. Your portfolio should show that you understand how to create social media content featuring people.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Plan content ideas that fit each client's brand and goals. Write hooks and short-form scripts using our content frameworks. Find relevant trends and adapt them to different businesses. Prepare shot lists and lead client filming sessions. Direct clients through talking videos and supporting footage. Film polished content with your camera and stabilizer. Possibly edit some reels (if you can do both & do it well), write captions, and schedule approved posts. Send footage and communicate between assigned editor. Communicate with clients about shoots, feedback, and deliverables. Keep content organized and meet deadlines.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Hands-on social media content experience that knows the trends and how to get views. Strong filming and short-form editing skills. An understanding of hooks, storytelling, trends, and pacing. Confidence directing people on camera. Clear, friendly communication with clients and our team. Strong organization and attention to detail. Ability to work independently and follow through. Openness to feedback and revisions. Availability for regular client work and local shoots. Microphones and an updated iPhone for supplemental footage are a plus, but are not required.

HOW THE WORK IS STRUCTURED

This is a freelance contractor position with project-based assignments. Most team members begin with individual projects and move into ongoing monthly client work based on performance, reliability, and communication. You'll have flexibility to complete remote work on your own schedule while coordinating filming times and deadlines with clients. Assignment volume may vary.

TO APPLY

Please send: Your portfolio or links to social media videos you've created. The camera model and stabilizer you own. A short description of your experience developing ideas and directing clients. Your location and availability. What you handled in your examples, such as scripting, directing, filming, or editing. Applications without a portfolio and confirmation of the required camera and stabilizer will not be considered. We don't need a resume, we want to see your work.
