What is a freelance luxury watch specialist?

A freelance luxury watch specialist is an independent professional who offers expertise in areas such as watch authentication, valuation, sales, servicing, or consultation for high-end watch brands. They typically work with collectors, dealers, auction houses, or private clients rather than being employed by a single company. Their knowledge of luxury timepieces, market trends, and authenticity is essential for advising clients and ensuring successful transactions or maintenance of valuable watches.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance luxury watch specialist?

To succeed as a Freelance Luxury Watch Specialist, you need a deep understanding of horology, authentication, and the luxury watch market, often supported by experience or certification in watchmaking or appraisal. Familiarity with inventory management software, authentication tools, and online luxury sales platforms is essential. Exceptional networking, negotiation, and client relationship skills help build trust and drive sales in this high-value market. These competencies are vital for ensuring authenticity, maintaining client satisfaction, and achieving success in the competitive luxury watch industry.

What are some common challenges faced when starting out as a freelance luxury watch consultant, and how can I overcome them?

One common challenge for freelance luxury watch consultants is building a strong client base and earning trust in a highly competitive market. Since many clients rely on consultants for authentication and valuation, establishing credibility through certifications, networking with reputable dealers, and showcasing expertise on social media can help. Additionally, navigating fluctuating market trends and sourcing authentic timepieces requires diligence and industry connections. Regularly attending watch shows, joining watch forums, and collaborating with established professionals can significantly boost your reputation and access within the luxury watch community.

What is the difference between Freelance Luxury Watch vs Watchmaker?

AspectFreelance Luxury WatchWatchmaker
CredentialsDesign skills, industry knowledgeWatchmaking certifications, technical skills
Work EnvironmentIndependent, client-based projectsWorkshop, manufacturing facilities
Employer/Industry UsageFreelance, luxury brands, collectorsManufacturers, repair shops, brands

Freelance Luxury Watch professionals focus on designing and customizing high-end watches independently, often working with clients or brands. Watchmakers, on the other hand, are skilled technicians who assemble, repair, and maintain watches in workshop settings. While both roles require industry knowledge, freelance designers emphasize creativity and client interaction, whereas watchmakers focus on technical craftsmanship and precision manufacturing.

Producer / Editor, Presence Media

Luxury Presence

New York, NY • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 24 days ago


Job description

Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and other top investors, we're a Series C company that has hit $100M in annual recurring revenue. More than 90,000 real estate professionals, including over 30% of the WSJ Real Trends top 100 agents in the United States, use us to run and grow their business.

Here's why we are excited about this opportunity:

We are building a first-of-its-kind media arm inside a high-growth, venture-backed SaaS company at a moment when brand, distribution, and industry authority are becoming the most durable competitive advantages in technology. Presence Media is the engine behind that investment, and our YouTube channel is the centerpiece.

As the Producer / Editor, you are the production engine. You will shoot, edit, and ship two flagship weekly YouTube shows, build the short-form derivative pipeline that powers audience growth across every social platform, and produce the supporting video that fuels the broader Presence Media calendar. You will work shoulder to shoulder with on-camera talent, the Director of Content Marketing & Media, and the broader marketing team to translate strategy into video that earns watch time and drives demand.

This is a hands-on production role. You need to love being on set, behind a camera, and inside an editing timeline. If you have built a YouTube channel, run a recurring show, or produced video that has earned real audiences and watch time on YouTube, this role is built for you.

The most important thing we're looking for:

You must have hands-on YouTube experience. This is non-negotiable. You have personally produced, shot, or edited content that lives on YouTube and has earned an audience there. You understand how YouTube actually works as a platform - retention curves, hooks, pacing, packaging, thumbnails, titles, end screens, and the difference between content that performs and content that disappears. Experience producing brand or marketing videos that happen to be uploaded to YouTube is not the same thing, and we will be able to tell the difference.

Here's what you'll own: Flagship YouTube Show Production
  • Produce, shoot, and edit weekly YouTube shows

  • Own pre-production: shot lists, run-of-show planning, guest prep, location and equipment logistics.

  • Run the camera and direct the shoot. Manage lighting, audio capture, and on-set continuity.

  • Own post-production: assembly, pacing, music, motion graphics, color, sound design, and final delivery.

  • Hit the publishing date every week. Treat the weekly cadence as a non-negotiable commitment.

Short-Form Derivative Pipeline
  • Build and run the short-form derivative pipeline that turns each long-form episode into platform-native cuts for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

  • Use AI-assisted clipping, transcription, and editing tools to scale short-form output without scaling headcount one-to-one.

  • Tailor cuts to the algorithmic and creative behavior of each platform rather than cross-posting the same asset everywhere.

Supporting Video Across the Content Calendar
  • Beyond the two flagship shows, produce and edit webinars, virtual events, executive thought leadership videos, Talent Network UGC, and event content.

  • Maintain consistent visual identity, pacing, and editorial quality across every format.

  • Direct on-camera talent - hosts, executives, real estate agents, and outside guests - to deliver compelling performances.

Production Operating System
  • Establish and document the production workflows, asset management system, and AI-accelerated editing pipeline that allow Presence Media to scale output.

  • Manage shoot prep, on-set protocols, post-production review cycles, and delivery standards.

  • Partner with freelance editors, motion designers, and production support as needed to extend capacity.

  Here's what we're looking for: Your Experience
  • Hands-on YouTube experience is required. You have produced, shot, or edited content that has lived and performed on YouTube. You can point to channels, shows, or episodes and explain what you did and why it worked.

  • 5 to 10 years in video production, content production, or creator-led environments.

  • Proven experience producing recurring video formats on a consistent weekly cadence - not one-off brand films or campaign videos.

  • Strong hands-on production fluency: camera operation, lighting, audio capture, and on-set direction. You are comfortable running a shoot without a large crew.

  • Strong post-production skills in industry-standard tools (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent), including pacing, motion graphics, color, and sound design.

  • Track record producing short-form social video for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and Facebook, with an understanding of how each platform actually behaves.

  • Experience using AI tools across the production pipeline - transcription, clipping, scripting assistance, edit assembly, thumbnail generation, asset tagging - and a clear point of view on where AI accelerates production.

  • Experience directing on-camera talent, including executives, creators, or guests who are not professional hosts.

  • A reel or portfolio that demonstrates strong YouTube editorial judgment, contemporary taste, and results.

Your Mindset
  • You think like a creator, not a brand marketer. You care about retention, watch time, and what makes someone subscribe.

  • You are AI-forward. You actively use AI tools in your own production work and see AI-accelerated production as a core competitive advantage, not a nice-to-have.

  • You ship. Weekly publishing dates are commitments, not aspirations.

  • You are equally comfortable running a camera, sitting in an edit, and standing up a workflow.

  • You take full ownership of production outcomes, even when execution depends on talent, freelancers, and cross-functional partners.

  • You thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and maintain velocity even when priorities shift.
