About The Uncommon Business
The Uncommon Business is a fast-growing AI-first education company that teaches business leaders to build intelligent systems, not just use prompt tools. We're profitable, EOS-driven, and we operate in intense twice-yearly launch cycles with sustainable pace in between. We promote on impact and ownership, not tenure.
About the Role
You are the keeper of the brand's visual standard. Through documentary-grade capture and editing, you make our founder, Callan, look like the high-level leader and AI educator she is, and you produce work that makes people want to know her. This is not a run-and-gun content role. You set the visual bar for the entire brand and hand the rest of the team premium material to run with.
Responsibilities
- Documentary-style capture: Follow Callan, direct a second camera, and draw out her best material, documenting her work, her process, and how she thinks. This is the depth-and-trust layer of the brand.
- Monthly capture days: Run two capture days per month, one in-office and one following Callan through a day in her life, bringing a second videographer for full coverage.
- Long-form YouTube: Own the long-form YouTube edit plus the short-form and story cuts pulled from it, delivered ready-to-post. One capture day should yield 25 or more posts across B-roll, founder soundbites, and short- and long-form storytelling.
- Stills and carousels: Turn screenshots and stills into carousel-ready assets that hold the premium standard across platforms.
- Event capture: Lead capture at live events with a second camera, owning the footage that fuels our highest-trust content.
Qualifications
- Strong videography and editing skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates a clear storytelling eye.
- Experience directing talent on camera and pulling the best out of a founder or subject without stiffening them up.
- An eye for the small, human moments that build trust and authenticity.
- Ability to hold a premium quality bar while still delivering on a consistent capture-day rhythm.
- An AI-first approach to editing and post-production workflow, and a desire to grow.
What Success Looks Like
- Capture cadence: Both monthly capture days run on schedule and produce enough raw material to feed the full content engine.
- Long-form output: One to two long-form YouTube pieces ship per month, with short-form and stories cut and handed off.
- Visual standard: Produced content consistently reads as premium and builds founder authority.
- Handoff reliability: Ready-to-post assets are delivered on time, every cycle.
Schedule
Twice per year (10–12 weeks total), this launch-critical role requires availability from 7 AM to 7 PM, with additional hours for preparation, live event support, and post-launch debriefs. This pace is intense by design and isn't for everyone. Outside launch seasons, the workload is sustainable and strategic. The company fully closes December 25–January 1.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary: $80,000–$100,000 per year, based on experience
- Performance bonus tied to capture cadence, output, and visual-standard KPIs
- Health and wellness: Monthly wellness stipend plus personalized and group wellness coaching
- Professional growth: $1,500–$3,000 annual development budget for courses, conferences, certifications, and tools
- Work your way: Coworking membership allowance or home office setup budget, your choice
- Unlimited PTO with clear boundaries
- Full equipment setup: MacBook, external monitor, and desk equipment
- Company-wide closure December 25–January 1
