Visual Media Specialist 

Hillpointe is hiring a Visual Media Specialist to capture and produce photo and video content across the property portfolio. The Visual Media Specialist shoots and edits finished, brand-aligned content, working on-site in the model-unit studio and traveling frequently to communities across the portfolio. Reporting to the Creative Production Director and taking prioritization through the Director and Creative Project Manager, the Specialist produces four core content streams: learning media for L&D, marketing materials for Property Marketing, social content for Property Operations, and serialized brand-building content for YouTube. As the first capture hire based at the Hub, this person is a self-sufficient generalist who owns their work from shoot through final delivery.
