Videographer Manager - Marketing & Product Development

Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Focus on the Family has nearly 700 employees who work to achieve the mission of enriching the lives of families, engaging the culture, advocating for life and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The work is meaningful, the culture is rewarding, and the purpose is eternal.

The Videographer Manager - Marketing & Product Development position exists to plan, film, and edit a wide range of video projects to market Focus on the Family's programs, products, marketing, and ministry brands. This role owns the creative vision for how video presence looks, feels, and performs — modernizing our visual storytelling while staying true to mission. The role serves both corporate communications and Programs & Products marketing, producing video assets that move constituents through cultivation tracks, populate ministry websites, and power paid advertising so that families are reached, discipled, and strengthened in Christ. As the Videographer Manager, the position coordinates camera and audio for chapel, studio recordings and ensures sessions are captured cleanly and to Focus standards. The role also owns the relationships with outside videographer contractors, scheduling, briefing, and quality-checking their work so the team can scale production without sacrificing quality. Working from creative direction provided by Marketing, CRM and Product Development, the Videographer Manager carries projects from setup through edited master, including editing, graphics, audio mix, and color. The position leads and sets the standard for direct reporting videographers and contractors, ensuring every deliverable reflects the quality and mission of the ministry. As a member of the broader Focus on the Family videography team, this individual participates and sometimes runs chapel filming.
