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
