Freelance Videographer (UGC + Performance Marketing)

eJam
Santa Ana, CA

About eJam

eJam is a performance marketing company that builds and scales direct-to-consumer brands through data-driven creative. Video is at the center of everything we do—from scroll-stopping UGC to structured, conversion-focused ad creatives that scale across paid platforms.

We’re looking for experienced freelance videographers who are fluent in UGC-style content but are not limited by it .

If you can shoot authentic, native-feeling UGC and know how to light, frame, direct, and adapt to different creative formats—this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Creating

You’ll be producing performance-driven video content used in paid advertising across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms.

This includes:

  • UGC-style videos (authentic, native, creator-led)
  • Structured performance ads (hooks, problem/solution, proof, CTA)
  • Product demos & lifestyle footage
  • B-roll and supporting visual assets
  • Multi-angle, multi-format shoots designed for iteration and testing

UGC is a core output , but we’re not looking for “UGC-only” creators—we want well-rounded videographers who can flex across styles as needed.

Responsibilities

  • Shoot high-quality UGC-style videos that feel native to social platforms
  • Execute shot lists efficiently while capturing usable variations
  • Direct talent or self-perform on camera when required
  • Capture clean audio, well-lit footage, and conversion-friendly framing
  • Deliver organized, labeled raw footage ready for post-production
  • Adapt shooting style based on brand, audience, and performance goals
  • Follow creative briefs while bringing strong creative instincts to the table

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

This role is not entry-level.

Ideal candidates have:

  • Proven experience shooting UGC for paid ads (not just organic content)
  • Strong fundamentals in lighting, framing, composition, and audio
  • Ability to shoot both polished and authentic content depending on the brief
  • Experience working with scripts, hooks, and performance frameworks
  • Fast, reliable turnaround and strong communication
  • A portfolio that shows range , not just one look or format

Bonus points if you:

  • Have worked with DTC or performance marketing teams
  • Understand what makes ads convert (hooks, pacing, clarity)
  • Can shoot multiple scripts efficiently in a single shoot day
  • Are comfortable collaborating with strategists and creative leads

What This Is Not

  • Not influencer posting or brand deals
  • Not casual selfie videos with no structure
  • Not a social media manager role
  • Not for beginners learning videography fundamentals

Benefits

  • Consistent freelance work with high-performing brands
  • Clear creative direction + room for creative input
  • Performance-focused projects that sharpen your skills
  • Work that actually scales and ships into paid media
  • Opportunity for long-term collaboration
