Video Technical Director Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

At William Henry, we don’t just create objects—we sculpt legacies. We are an elevated, American luxury brand dedicated to crafting functional works of art, from hand-forged Damascus steel pocket knives and kitchen cutlery to high-end men's jewelry, watches, and lifestyle accessories. Our pieces are born from a fusion of ancient metalworking, exotic or storied materials (like fossilized mammoth bone and meteorites), and modern precision science. Every item we build tells a story of enduring beauty, tradition, and soul.

We are seeking a visually driven, high-caliber Photographer & Videographer who can capture the raw soul of our craftsmanship and translate it into captivating digital storytelling.

As our Photographer & Videographer, you will hold a pivotal role in driving online sales and expanding our global brand awareness. This isn’t just about pointing a camera; it's about mastering lighting, texture, and macro details to bring reflective metals, rare gemstones, and unique wood grains to life.

You will blend high-end cinematic aesthetics with a social-first mindset, producing everything from premium website assets and paid ad campaigns to fast-paced, thumb-stopping short-form vertical video (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts).

• Premium Content Creation: Produce luxury-focused photography and video content optimized for our website, emails, paid ads, and social channels.
• Macro & Product Expertise: Shoot stunning product photography with strict attention to fine details, lighting, and complex textures.
• Social & Vertical Video Production: Script, shoot, and edit high-engagement short-form vertical video content.
• Cinematic Storytelling: Capture behind-the-scenes magic in our workshop, spotlighting our craftsmanship, heritage processes, and production journey.
• Pre-Production & Asset Management: Assist with shot lists, prop sourcing, styling, and location coordination. Edit, color-grade, organize, and export media across multiple aspect ratios (1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9) to fit various ad placements.
• Strategic Collaboration: Partner directly with marketing and creative leadership to brainstorm campaign concepts, review asset performance metrics, and continually optimize visual standards.

• Part-Time Plus: This commitment requires immediate availability during standard business hours (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM) for collaborative needs.
• Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of telecommuting for the majority of your tasks. However, strict adherence to a hybrid schedule is required: you must be on-site at our studio at least 2 days per month (sometimes more based on production demands).
• Local Travel: Travel to/from the studio is a regular part of the role (not reimbursable). Occasional localized travel for external shoots, location scouting, and brand events will be required.

• The Portfolio: A stellar, proven portfolio showcasing premium/luxury product photography and cinematic video work. Experience shooting highly reflective materials, metals, gemstones, and luxury goods is heavily weighted.
• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Photography, Film, Marketing, or a related field (or equivalent elite, proven field experience).
• Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of cinematic lighting, audio capture, stabilization equipment, and macro product shooting techniques.
• Software Toolkit: Advanced proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.). Smooth navigation of MS Office (Word, intermediate/advanced Excel, Outlook) and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
• Production Independence: A self-starter attitude with the ability to pivot quickly in a fast-paced launch environment. Must possess or have reliable access to any specialized proprietary gear required for high-end production not directly provided by our studio.
• Professional Maturity: Exceptional communication skills, a metrics-conscious eye for performance, and an open mind that embraces constructive creative feedback from leadership.

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Direct experience working with heritage, EDC (everyday carry), watch, automotive, or fashion luxury brands.
• Motion graphics or animation capabilities.
• Experience directing and styling talent/models.

To thrive in this role, you should be comfortable regularly standing, walking, typing, and handling gear for up to 8 hours a day (occasionally up to 10 hours during heavy shoot days). You must have strong close vision, color vision, and depth perception for meticulous editing, and the ability to occasionally lift and move up to 50 pounds of lighting or grip equipment.

If you have a deep passion for craftsmanship, rare materials, and luxury storytelling, we want to see your work.
