About the Company

Deployable Energy is a growing company focused on delivering innovative energy solutions. As the organization scales, it is investing in how its technology, people, progress, and impact are communicated to customers, partners, employees, and the broader market.

About the Role

This is an opportunity for a creative, hands-on videographer and multimedia storyteller who enjoys taking ideas from concept through final production.

You'll play a key role in bringing Deployable Energy's story to life through video, photography, interviews, social content, and other visual media. You'll work directly with company leadership, technical teams, and the broader communications function to translate complex technical and operational work into compelling visual stories.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be handed a shot list. We're looking for someone who can recognize a story, develop the creative concept, capture it, and turn it into polished content.

The role offers significant creative ownership and visibility, with the opportunity to document and shape the story of a growing company during an exciting stage of development.

Love turning complex ideas into simple, compelling visual storiesAre equally comfortable behind a camera and inside an editing suiteEnjoy working directly with technical subject-matter expertsCan find the interesting story inside something highly technicalMove comfortably between creative thinking and hands-on productionPrefer ownership and autonomy over highly structured production environmentsCan produce excellent work without requiring a large production crewThrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environmentAre energized by building something rather than simply maintaining it

One week might involve filming an executive interview, documenting technical work, producing short-form social content, developing a larger company story, photographing an event, or creating multimedia assets for an important presentation.

Take a story from initial idea to polished final productionProduce professional-quality video independentlyConduct interviews that bring out authentic and compelling storiesUnderstand pacing, composition, lighting, audio, and visual storytellingCreate both polished corporate content and engaging social-first contentAdapt one story effectively across multiple platforms and formatsBalance creativity with business and communications objectivesWork independently while collaborating effectively with leadership and technical teamsManage multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing qualityExperiment creatively while maintaining a consistent brand

A startup mindset

Experience producing content within energy, engineering, technology, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, science, or another highly technical environment is valuable, but the ability to understand unfamiliar subjects quickly and tell a great story is more important than having worked in one specific industry.

Bottom line: This role is for a visual storyteller and creative builder who can pick up a camera, walk into a complex technical environment, find the story, and turn it into content people actually want to watch.
