Videographer / Filmmaker AI (m/f/d)

Job Description

Do you master the true craft of filmmaking with camera, light, and set, but are also passionate about redefining the boundaries of content production through generative video AI? You don't think in terms of either/or when it comes to moving images, but rather combine real shoots and state-of-the-art AI workflows into a unique visual brand world? Then this is your next challenge: At benuta, you will take on real ownership from day one of innovative video content for the European market leader in carpet and home & living e-commerce. In our studio in Bonn, you will combine physical set production with state-of-the-art AI video tools – future-oriented, data-driven, and at a true greenfield level!

Your Tasks

• Studio Video Production: You will conceptualize and realize high-quality product and lifestyle videos for carpets, blankets, pillows, and home accessories. You will work with real products, actual interior sets, and professional lighting in our studio.
• AI-Powered Video Production: You will create generative videos for social media, performance ads, and our webshop. You will generate clips from text and images, animate existing product and interior-related footage, and bring static content to life.
• Hybrid Filmmaking: You will seamlessly combine classic live-action filmmaking with generative workflows, extending or modifying existing material with AI, and always finding the perfect balance between set shoots and AI.
• Editing & Post-Production: You will be responsible for independent post-production – from rough cut to color grading to final export.
• Performance & Social Content: You will produce informative product content, social media clips, and advertising materials. You will quickly implement briefings and performance learnings into new variations together with Marketing and Creative.
• Creative Concept Development & Workflow Innovation: You will develop video ideas from the initial sketch to the final asset. Additionally, you will continuously test new AI video tools, establish smart workflows, and ensure a brand-compliant, aesthetic visual language.

Note on the position: We are filling this position exclusively on a permanent basis (freelance or project-based collaboration is not intended). As an Office-First Company, we primarily work on-site at our HQ in Bonn.

Job Requirements

Your Profile

• Filmmaking Foundation: You have a vocational training, degree, or relevant practical experience in film, video production, media design, or content creation – ideally with experience in the brand, e-commerce, interior, or fashion sector.
• Set & Post-Production Skills: You master camera, lighting, composition, and movement on set. You are proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve (editing, color grading).
• AI Expertise & Prompting: You have practical experience with generative video AI and prompting (e.g., Kling, Veo, Seedance, or comparable tools).
• Hybrid Mindset & Aesthetics: You understand when a real shoot is more beneficial and when AI offers process advantages. You possess an excellent sense for light, color, timing, and interior design.
• Performance Understanding: You reliably implement briefings for different hooks, lengths, and platform-specific formats (TikTok, Meta Ads, webshop).
• Team Player & Presence: You value close collaboration with the Creative, Photo, and Marketing teams. Physical presence at our studio in Bonn is a given for you.

Your Benefits

• Presence & Flexibility: Our focus is on working together on-site at our campus. For the necessary flexibility in your daily planning – whether for private appointments or undisturbed work – we offer you an annual allowance of 26 home office days.
• Our New Campus "benuta One": You won't be working in just any office. Starting mid-2027, we will move into our brand-new, state-of-the-art corporate campus, which is specifically designed to make on-site work enjoyable – with state-of-the-art workstations, modern meeting rooms, and plenty of space for real team spirit.
• Your Mobility: No matter how you get to us, we support you. You have the choice between a subsidized job ticket or a fuel card. Additionally, we offer you a company bike leasing (JobRad), e-charging stations on-site, and good public transport connections.
• All-Round Catering: We strengthen you in your daily life. Your breakfast is entirely on us, and for lunch breaks, we offer you a subsidized catering option. In addition, there is fresh fruit available at all times, as well as free coffee, oat milk, and a selection of cold drinks.
• Time for Recreation: You receive 28 days of vacation and benefit from our flexible flextime model. Christmas and New Year's Eve are generally non-working days for us, which do not deduct from your vacation balance.
• Your Development & Culture: Structured onboarding from day one, flat hierarchies, and ample room for your own ideas support you in your next career step. By the way: With us, it's "come as you are" – and your dog is also warmly welcome in the office!
