Creative Captain Wanted: Your resume proves that you know how to manage a team of videographers, photographers, and motion designers to produce video content that captures attention, educates consumers, and drives sales. If that sounds like you – and you're passionate about direct-response videography, you might just be the Media Team Leader AlgaeCal is looking for.
This job will give you ALL the feels:
At AlgaeCal, we're driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density.
The good news? AlgaeCal has the world's only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you'll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.
Here's what you'll be up to in this busy role:
- Ensuring every video asset resonates with our audience and drives sales.
- Leading a team of 5 video editors, videographers, and media specialists who know how to create content that sells Sells SELLS!!!
- Establishing measurable goals for the team, focusing on both short-term and long-term objectives. These OKRs should align with company vision, ensuring that the team stays focused on high-impact work.
- Conducting performance reviews to track individual and team progress. Provide constructive feedback and recognize achievements to foster a growth-driven culture.
- Scheduling regular one-on-ones with each photographer and videographer to discuss career goals, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Making sure these conversations are collaborative and focused on providing the support they need to succeed.
- Oversee the recruitment process to ensure that new hires in the Media Team are aligned with the team's values and creative direction. Prioritize skills and cultural fit while ensuring diversity of thought and approach.
- Overseeing video and photo shoots from start to finish, managing everything from pre-production to post-production to ensure consistent branding and impactful storytelling that connects with the viewers and persuades them to take action.
- Managing location shoots, ensuring the right equipment (cameras, lighting, audio) is used to capture the perfect shot.
- Staying on top of timelines, resources, and budgets to make sure projects are delivered on time and within scope—no surprises.
- Leading the creation of testimonial videos and other content that builds customer trust and credibility.
This job might be for you if you've got…
- 5+ years of experience in video editing and motion graphic animation. We'll expect to be wowed by your portfolio.

- A yoda-like knowledge of DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator)—if these tools are second nature to you, we want to talk.
- Experience working with Frame.io, Studio Binder, and Miro.
- Solid graphic design skills—you've got the eye and the talent to make visuals pop.
- A background in digital marketing & e-commerce. You're not just a videographer—you're a salesperson with a camera! You understand how video assets play a role in sales letters, funnels, and paid media ads. If you need to Google "CTR" or don't know what a VSL is, this job isn't for you.
- A solid grasp of budgeting and finance basics—you can keep projects on track and on budget.
- Experience in the health or supplement industry—you've been in this world before, and it shows on your resume.
