Videographer & Long-Form Editor

‍01

Why This Role Exists

Matt Gray has built a personal brand founders around the world follow, and a company that helps founders build systemized, founder-led businesses. Most people only see the finished video. The real story happens in between: a strategy call in a Hong Kong hotel lobby, a whiteboard session on a mountaintop in the Dolomites, a conversation with a founder that changes how they run their business.

Right now, most of those moments go uncaptured. This role exists to change that.

You'll be the person behind the camera when the best moments happen, at home and on the road. Then you'll turn them into long-form stories people watch to the end.

This is a rare seat. You travel the world with a founder at the top of his game, you get a front-row view of how a company is built in real time, and you own the story of it. If you've ever wanted to build a body of work around one person and one brand, this is it.

The Mission

At Founder OS, our mission is to help 100,000 entrepreneurs scale their businesses and unlock freedom. A lot of what makes Matt worth watching happens away from a planned YouTube shoot: the way he thinks out loud, the people he meets and the places he works from.

Your mission is to capture that and turn it into content, by:

• Following Matt and filming the real moments of his day, at home and on the road
• Spotting the story in a moment while it's happening
• Editing long-form videos with a refined, cinematic, lifestyle-first aesthetic
• Building a footage library the whole team can pull from for YouTube, short form and social
• Contributing systems, templates and repeatable workflows back into the team

You'll report to Matt and work within the brand and aesthetic standards he sets.

The Role

You will:

• Film Matt's day with a storyteller's eye, and know which moments matter
• Move quietly, and capture people in real moments without getting in their way
• Plan ahead of every trip and event: the story you're after, the moments you can't miss, the kit you need
• Edit long-form videos with pacing, restraint and story in mind
• Keep every frame inside Founder OS and Matt Gray brand standards
• Log and organise footage the same day so the team can find the best moments fast
• Hit deadlines consistently. This is a trust-based role.
• Document your workflows in Docs and Looms and share them with the team
• Bring ideas to content strategy conversations

You will not:

• Over-produce a moment until it stops feeling real
• Chase trends for novelty
• Work in isolation or disappear after delivery

05

What Success Looks Like

• A steady supply of footage that becomes YouTube, short-form and social content
• Long-form edits delivered on time, every time
• Zero aesthetic drift from brand standards
• Creative decisions backed by logic and story
• Reusable systems contributed back into the team
• Growing trust, and with it, growing creative freedom

Who You Are

This role suits a specific kind of person. You've got taste, a keen eye for cinematography, and you're down to ride.

You might be:

• A documentary or vlog shooter who has followed a person or a team for months and knows how to stay invisible while the real story happens
• A creator's camera operator who has travelled with a creator, filmed their life and cut it into videos people actually finish
• An event or travel cinematographer who wants to tell one brand's story long term
• A long-form YouTube editor who also shoots, and wants to own the story from capture to final cut

The ideal candidate:

• Sees the story before it's obvious and gets the shot
• Balances creative instinct with discipline: knows how to film and how to deliver
• Understands that Apple-level clarity and A24-style cinematics beat flashy transitions
• Wants a long-term creative home with one brand
• Is excited by AI and automation. This is an AI-native team. If you're resistant to it, this isn't the right fit.

Requirements:

• A portfolio of documentary, vlog or lifestyle work that shows your eye
• Proven long-form editing experience, ideally YouTube, with examples
• Strong camera and audio skills in real-world, moving situations
• A valid passport and the ability to travel often, sometimes at short notice
• Your own video kit
• Comfortable with direct feedback and clear lines of authority
• Reliable: you hit deadlines and keep footage organised

This role is not for you if:

• You juggle many clients and want "just another shoot"
• You can only shoot from a shot list and freeze when the plan changes
• You want to film, deliver and disappear
• You struggle with direct feedback
• You can't travel

Compensation

Competitive, and to be discussed. Remote between trips, on a global team.

Value                                            How it shows up

Insanely Simple                   Complexity is the enemy of execution.

Extreme Ownership            Every decision starts with “What is best for the enterprise?”

Writing-First Culture           If it’s not written, it doesn’t exist. Clarity is kindness.

Obsess Over Quality           We are tastemakers. Every touchpoint is a chance to dazzle.

All-In Mindset                       The founder’s success is our success.

Elevated Design                    Design is strategy. Taste is our competitive advantage.

Dazzle Founders                   We treat founders like best friends and go the extra mile.

Relentless Velocity               We move quickly toward a common, specific goal.

Solutions, Not Problems      Never just bring a problem. Always bring a solution.

Above all, we are one team building one company.

How to Apply

Answer these in a Loom video, then share the link to your portfolio:

1. Share one or two pieces you shot and edited, and explain why they work.
2. Walk us through a creator or documentary whose visual storytelling you'd bring here.
3. Why does this role appeal to you long term?

If you want to tell the story of a founder building in real time, and you're ready to match our intensity and ownership, this is the seat.
