Bring Stories to Life Through the Lens - Join the Creative Force Behind Baker College!
At Baker College, we believe powerful stories deserve to be seen and heard. We're looking for a talented and driven
Photographer/Video Producer
to help shape the visual voice of our brand. You'll capture the real moments, faces, and experiences that define our campuses—from the excitement of student life to the passion of our faculty and staff.
Responsibilities This is more than just shooting photos and rolling video. It's about crafting compelling multimedia content that resonates across digital platforms, social media, internal communications, recruitment campaigns, and more. As Photographer/Video Producer, you will maintain an organized catalog of all photography and video assets for Marketing and Communications, providing approved imagery for campus-wide access. You will create compelling multimedia content, including student and campus stories, internal announcement videos, social media promos, recruitment pieces, training modules, and other system-wide projects. You will apply industry best practices across all phases of production—pre-planning, content capture, post-production, and on-time delivery—while collaborating closely with stakeholders to align on creative vision. You will manage timelines in Basecamp, ensure consistent communication, scout locations, coordinate talent, secure release forms, operate and test all necessary production equipment, and guide other departments and student groups on how to create on-brand content independently.
Qualifications
Associate's degree from an accredited college or university in Film, Media, Management, Production, or a related field is required; bachelor's degree preferred.
Minimum of four years' experience working on film sets or as part of a production team.
Higher education experience is preferred.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of video and digital storytelling within integrated marketing campaigns, with the ability to tailor content to various audiences and platforms. They must demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, a commitment to exceptional customer service, and experience working within established brand guidelines. Proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite—especially Premiere, Photoshop, and Lightroom—is essential, along with hands‑on experience using a range of professional equipment, including Canon 5D DSLR, GoPro Hero 11, Rokinon cine‑lenses, DJI Ronin stabilizers, LED lighting kits, green screen studios, and professional audio tools. A solid grasp of video production workflows—from pre‑production and scripting to studio and field shooting, lighting, editing, and final output—is required. Candidates should be highly organized, capable of managing multiple projects under pressure, and comfortable leading production teams. Strong computer literacy, collaborative and independent work ethic, flexibility with scheduling and travel, and the ability to deliver high‑quality creative content on tight deadlines are all essential. Familiarity with animation and motion graphics is a plus.
