Video Content Producer

Baethke Plumbing
Chicago, IL

Reports to: Content Manager
Role Type: Full-Time
Salary: $50,000-$60,000 annually, based on experience

Customers are researching companies long before they ever pick up the phone. They're watching videos, comparing solutions, learning about their options, and deciding which businesses they trust.

Baethke Plumbing is looking for a Video Content Producer who can help us become one of the most trusted educational voices in our industry.

This is more than a filming and editing position. You'll take ownership of video content from concept through publication, working with our team members to turn their expertise into useful, engaging content. Your work will support our website, YouTube presence, social platforms, and sales team while helping potential customers make more informed decisions.

Before continuing, please watch this video:

• Plan, film, edit, and publish a minimum of three videos per week
• Help develop video strategy using the Endless Customers framework
• Manage pre-production, filming, post-production, and publishing
• Interview and coach team members who may not be comfortable on camera
• Create educational, sales-support, and customer-focused video content
• Partner with the Content Manager and sales team on the production calendar
• Optimize content for YouTube, the company website, social media, and video hosting platforms
• Capture and organize B-roll for future content
• Manage and maintain video, lighting, and audio equipment
• Use AI tools for captioning, audio enhancement, color correction, and short-form repurposing
• Monitor video performance and use results to improve future content
• Stay current on video production tools, platforms, and trends

We're looking for someone who combines strong production skills with the ability to understand the purpose behind the content.

You should be comfortable owning projects independently while collaborating with people who aren't professional on-camera talent.

• Professional video filming and editing experience
• Proficiency with Adobe Premiere and After Effects, or Motion experience
• Strong understanding of lighting, composition, and audio
• Experience with scripting, storyboarding, and pre-production planning
• Experience interviewing and directing non-professional on-camera talent
• Knowledge of professional camera and audio equipment
• Experience publishing and optimizing content through YouTube Studio
• Understanding of branding and maintaining a consistent visual identity
• Familiarity with Photoshop or Illustrator is a plus
• Familiarity with video hosting platforms such as Wistia is preferred
• Experience using AI tools to improve video production efficiency
• Familiarity with analytics, including Google Analytics and CRM reporting

A degree in film production, broadcast journalism, multimedia production, marketing, or a related field is preferred but not required .

A strong portfolio and demonstrated professional production experience may be considered in place of formal education.

• Strategic: You think about what a video should accomplish, not simply how it should look.
• People-focused: You know how to make people comfortable and confident on camera.
• Self-directed: You can manage deadlines and production schedules without constant oversight.
• Coachable: You welcome feedback and use it to strengthen your work.
• Entrepreneurial: You take ownership of the video program and care about the results it produces.

To apply, please submit the following:

• Your resume
• A link to your portfolio or work samples (interview-style or talking-head videos preferred; please include work you shot and edited yourself)
• A short selfie-style video submission (2 to 3 minutes, shot on a webcam or smartphone, one continuous take with no editing or jump cuts) answering the following questions:
  • How did you learn about this position, and what made you decide to apply?
  • How do you work with people who are nervous or reluctant to appear on camera?
  • What do you do consistently to keep improving your skills?

Note: Submit your video using a free Vidyard or Loom link. We are not evaluating production quality in this submission. We are evaluating how you communicate, follow instructions, and whether you'd be a strong fit for our team.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability insurance
• Life insurance
• Six paid holidays
• Five days of PTO
