Videographer

Hanzo provides a very casual, friendly and family focused work place that promotes individuality.

Hanzo is basically the best company ever.

We're hiring one person to run content at Hanzo. If you're the right one, you already feel it.

Here's the truth about social media in 2026: most brands are still making content like it's 2019. Polished. Safe. Forgettable. Meanwhile a seventeen-year-old with an iPhone is pulling ten million views on a video they shot in a parking lot — because they understand the one thing most brands don't.

Attention isn't bought anymore. It's earned in the first 1.3 seconds.

We're looking for the person who already knows that in their bones.

Here's the deal.

Hanzo is building something most brands won't — a content operation run by one obsessive creative instead of a committee of five. That person owns the whole thing. Shoots. Cuts. Posts. Writes the hook. Picks the thumbnail. Reads the analytics on the flight home and adjusts before landing.

This isn't a videographer job. It isn't an editor job. It's a seat most brands never offer, because most brands don't trust one person to hold it.

We do. If you're the one.

What you get to do:

• Fly to a different city most weeks and shoot content that actually makes people stop scrolling

• Cut short-form and long-form — and know the difference in your sleep

• Write the hooks. This is the whole game. Everything else is execution.

• Build Hanzo's identity on social from the studs up — voice, rhythm, recurring bits, the whole world

• Use AI where it multiplies you, ignore it where it flattens you

• Test, watch, adjust, repeat — until Hanzo is the brand people send to each other unprompted

Who this is for:

• You've already done this. Maybe for yourself, maybe for a creator, maybe for a brand that didn't deserve you.

• You can point to work that performed. Not "my cousin liked it" performed. Numbers-on-the-screen performed.

• You have taste. You have range. You have the kind of work ethic that makes other people quietly uncomfortable.

• You don't need a creative brief to know what good looks like.

Who this is not for:

• Generalist marketers who want to "learn video."

• Wedding shooters looking to pivot

• Anyone who needs a 47-slide deck before they can cut a 30-second edit

• Anyone who thinks "going viral" is a strategy instead of a byproduct

What we put on the table.

Salary + full benefits. Medical, dental, vision. 401(k) with a 4% match. Gym stipend. A travel schedule most creators would kill for. And the one thing money can't replicate — creative control with a brand that's already sharp enough to cut glass.

The exact number depends on your work. Send us something great, and we'll move fast.

How to apply.

Send three pieces of content you made. Not your best three — the three that performed. Include the view counts. In one sentence each, tell us why they worked.

If that question annoys you, we're not a fit. If it excites you, we want to talk this week.

P.S. — Most people reading this far will close the tab and tell themselves they'll come back to it tonight. They won't. The person we hire is the one who sends the email before dinner.

• Demonstrated expertise in content creation. You have a proven track record of creating and executing content—whether for personal projects, creators, or brands. You can provide concrete examples of your work.
• Measurable performance results. You can document content that has achieved significant engagement and reach. We require specific metrics and analytics data, not subjective assessments.
• Strong creative instincts and technical proficiency. You possess both refined aesthetic judgment and the technical range to execute across multiple formats and styles. You understand content strategy at a fundamental level.
• Independent creative decision-making. You do not require extensive creative briefs or approval processes to identify and execute high-quality content. You have a clear understanding of what constitutes effective content.
