About Nen Creative

Nen Creative partners with tech startups to launch bold ideas into the world, creating the brands, products, and stories that fuel their growth.

Since 2022, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s top founders and institutions, including Amazon, Pear VC, Crosby, Andreessen Horowitz, Wispr Flow, Rogo, Mercor, Rox, Netic, Listen Labs, Tech Week, Paraform, Spur, Flora, and more.

We’re growing fast and looking for great people to join us.

About the Opportunity

We’re looking for a strong, technically sharp cinematographer to join our team in the Bay Area.

This role is for someone who deeply cares about the craft of cinematography, not just making an image “look good,” but understanding why it works. You should be comfortable owning camera, lighting, and grip setups across a wide range of productions, from scrappy founder interviews to polished commercials and brand films.

You’ll work closely with our directors, producers, and creative team to shape the visual approach for each project, execute on set, and help manage footage through post-production, including DaVinci Resolve project setup, color grading, and final exports when needed.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving agency environment. We need someone who is highly capable on set, adaptable, detail-obsessed, and willing to push the image as far as possible within real-world constraints.

What you'll do

Collaborate with directors and producers to develop the visual approach for each project and execute it on set
Own / capable of owning camera, lighting, and grip setup across a range of productions: commercials, brand films, talking heads, interviews, and more
Work within real-world budget constraints, get creative with what’s available, know where to spend and where to save, and deliver results that punch above their weight
Offload footage, build DaVinci Resolve projects with correct settings, and keep projects organized from shoot through post
Color grade projects and handle final exports from raw footage as needed
Adapt to our workflow and pipeline, while helping improve it over time
Wear different hats from project to project, depending on the needs of the production

What We’re Looking For

Willing to relocate to the Bay Area and work on set in the SF area 3–4 days per week
Strong technical foundation in camera systems, lighting, and grip
Genuine passion for the craft of cinematography. You care about the things most people don’t notice: how exposure index shifts dynamic range latitude, why one lens renders bokeh differently than another, how different coatings change the character of an image, and what gives a particular set of glass its falloff
Relentless attention to detail and high standards on every setup
A make-it-work mentality within real-world budgets and constraints
Equal care for talking heads, interviews, commercials, and brand films
Willingness to adapt to our creative taste, quality standard, and production workflow
Color grading and editing experience in DaVinci Resolve
Prior cinematography experience required
Comfortable with agency timelines, shifting production needs, occasional travel, and occasional weekend or after-hours production work
Must have a car

Why Join Nen

Be part of a small, fast-growing creative studio trusted by world-class startups and investors
Work directly with partners and creative leadership on high-impact, visible projects
Help define and scale the post-production quality bar at Nen
Medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), PTO, and company holidays
Salary range: $80,000 to $120,000, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.
