About Sertain Creative

Sertain Creative is a full-service creative agency specializing in branding, commercial photography, video production, web design, advertising, social media, and digital marketing. We partner with brands across healthcare, wellness, luxury, hospitality, e-commerce, corporate, and lifestyle industries to create content that drives real business results.

We have a fully equipped professional production studio and provide professional Sony camera equipment and production gear, allowing our team to create high-end commercial work in both studio and on-location environments.

We're not looking for someone who simply takes photos or shoots videos.

We're looking for a creative leader.

Someone who can own the creative process from concept to completion, confidently lead productions, collaborate with clients, and consistently produce exceptional work.

About the Role

We are hiring a Creative Production Lead (Photography & Video) to lead our entire photo and video department.

This is a senior leadership role for an experienced hybrid shooter who thrives in fast-paced creative environments and takes pride in producing world-class content.

You won't simply show up and shoot.

You'll meet with clients, understand their vision, develop creative concepts, create mood boards, plan productions, direct talent, lead shoots, capture outstanding photography and video, edit professional video content, and ensure every project exceeds expectations.

This is not an entry-level position.

We're looking for someone who naturally takes charge, inspires confidence, solves problems, communicates exceptionally well, and knows how to lead a production from beginning to end.

If you're someone who waits to be told what to do, this isn't the role for you.

If you're someone who walks into every production with confidence, creativity, and a clear vision, we'd love to meet you.
