Full-Time YouTube Videographer
Location: Austin/Leander, Tx (On-Site)
Who We Are
DougDeals is one of the largest reselling businesses in Texas. Everyday we encounter something different. Manufacturing equipment, clean rooms, laboratory gear, warehouse liquidations, hospitals clean outs, and more. The DougDeals team is always doing something crazy. One day we’re working on Doug’s giant underground mushroom farm. The next we’re dismantling industrial robots inside our 90,000 square foot warehouse.
To document these stories, we launched the DougDeals YouTube channel.
Our goal isn’t just to promote the business. We’re building a YouTube channel that stands on its own by telling interesting stories about business, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and the incredible things that happen behind the scenes at DougDeals.
As the channel continues to grow, we’re looking for a full-time videographer who wants to help us create videos that people genuinely love watching.
About the Role
This isn’t a typical videographer position.
We’re looking for someone who thinks like a YouTube creator.
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply be handed a shot list. You’ll help shape how the channel looks, feels, and tells stories.
You’ll work alongside the creative team to capture everything from warehouse operations and equipment moves to customer pickups, business updates, side projects, and unexpected moments.
The ideal candidate is constantly asking:
- What shot will make this edit stronger?
- What is this story missing?
- How can we make this story more engaging?
What You’ll Do
- Capture cinematic, high quality footage for YouTube videos and social media.
- Collaborate with our editor and creative team to plan before filming begins.
- Anticipate important moments and capture them as they happen.
- When appropriate, ask thoughtful questions to capture context, clarify what’s happening, or uncover moments that strengthen the story
- Think beyond coverage by gathering creative b-roll, detail shots, transitions, and alternate angles that improve the final edit.
- Contribute ideas during planning, meetings and throughout production.
- Maintain organized footage and media after each shoot.
- Help maintain camera, audio and other production equipment.
- Continuously look for ways to improve the production quality of the channel.
Who We’re Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Is passionate about YouTube and online video.
- Understands visual storytelling.
- Thrives in fast moving environments.
- Has a strong eye for composition and on screen movement
- Works well as a part of a collaborative creative team.
- Is organized, dependable, and detail oriented.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience filming YouTube, documentary or long-form content.
- Comfortable operating professional video cameras while maintaining sharp focus and proper exposure.
- Experience recording clean audio in real world environments
- Basic understanding of editing workflows and how footage is used in post production.
Why This Role Is Different
Most videography jobs involve filming marketing videos, corporate interviews, or events.
This job isn't that. Every day is different.
One day you might be filming the removal of a million-dollar machine. The next you could be documenting and helping tell the story behind an incredible business deal.
If you’re the kind of person who watches YouTube and thinks about how the video was made, not just what happened, you’ll probably love this job.
To Apply
Please include:
- A resume
- Portfolio or demo reel.
- Links to any YouTube videos or social media content you’ve filmed.
- A Short note explaining why you’re interested in this role.
- Bonus: Submit a short video of yourself explaining why you would fit this role and describe a YouTube video whose cinematography or storytelling impressed/inspired you and why.
We’re looking for someone who wants to help build an incredible YouTube channel from the ground up. Not just someone looking for their next videography gig.
