What are the responsibilities and job description for the Personal Videographer & Editor for Faith-Based Chief Operating Officer position at Charles Romer?
Personal Videographer and Editor
Location: Irvine, CA (With regular travel required)
Schedule: Full-Time/On-Call
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Me
My name is Charles, and I'd like to share a little about my life and what this role entails. To give you an idea of what next year will look like, let me explain how this past year has unfolded—because I believe God works by multiplication, not addition. When we align with the timing and calendar of heaven, each year becomes drastically bigger and greater than we could imagine.
This year started with a major milestone: signing a deal with a Christian business owner to scale Goshen, a business that raises up Christian entrepreneurs to build Kingdom businesses inspired by the Bible. Myself and my team scaled Goshen to 4x its revenue from the previous year, reaching multiple seven figures. This involved rapidly building teams, implementing systems, and executing course and product launches, with each one exceeding $1 million in revenue. Along the way, we explored smaller projects like merchandise stores and created a real estate coaching program, which I coached alongside my brother.
Speaking of real estate, two years ago, my brother and I launched Expansion Land, a business that buys and sells land across nearly every state in the U.S. In its first year, the business surpassed $1 million in revenue. Although 2024 brought challenges and the need for a revamp, we're entering 2025 with aggressive plans to scale both Expansion Land and Goshen, along with several new business ventures.
Outside of business, this year has been packed with travel. I've travelled at least once a month for a variety of reasons, including video projects, meetings, and attending high-net-worth Christian events in places like Florida. These events allow me to keep growing, learning, and connecting with others who share a Kingdom vision. My weeks are busy, but I prioritize time with family here in Orange County, where I also live with my brother and collaborate on business projects weekly.
Another significant part of my life is church. I'm heavily involved with our church here in OC because I firmly believe that when you focus on building God's house, He will build yours. This truth has been evident throughout my life.
As we move into 2025, I'm planning for substantial growth. My current team of 10 is set to expand significantly as we scale our businesses and multiply our impact for the Kingdom.
Where Do You Come In?
My goal is to start creating lifestyle content that gives people a glimpse into my life—both the great and the challenging moments—and sharing it across social media platforms. Your job as my Personal Videographer is to walk this journey with me, capturing the essence of what I do, who I am, and what it means to live for the Kingdom in every sphere of life.
You'll be involved in everything: from documenting day-to-day life to creating polished, engaging content that inspires and motivates. I plan to organize trips and events that are not only enjoyable but also perfect for content creation. These could include adventures across Europe, attending high-profile Christian gatherings, business ventures, or even quiet moments of reflection that carry profound messages.
Your Role:
To make this vision a reality, you'll need to think ahead and take ownership of the creative process. You won't just be someone holding a camera—you'll be a collaborator, someone who helps bring ideas to life and ensures we're always prepared to capture the best possible moments. Here's how you'll be involved:
- Creative Initiative & Discernment: You must have an intuitive understanding of content value and demonstrate proactive filming without needing direction. Every conversation, meeting, and interaction is a potential content opportunity that you should independently recognize and capture. You'll need to assess situations quickly and begin filming meaningful moments without prompting.
- Creative Planning: You'll brainstorm and sketch out ideas for each piece of content, aligning it with the vision of inspiring a generation of young men to pursue Kingdom excellence. This includes conceptualizing videos, thinking through storylines, and planning the vibe and message of each shoot.
- Logistics and Preparation: You'll handle the planning of all the practical details—ensuring we have the right equipment, scouting locations, and identifying opportunities for additional content at events, trips, or even in everyday settings.
- Content Capturing: Whether it's a speaking engagement, a business milestone, or a behind-the-scenes moment of overcoming challenges, you'll be there to film it all. You'll also document the unfiltered, real moments that show the humanity behind the mission.
- Editing and Storytelling: After capturing the footage, you'll craft compelling videos that bring the vision to life, blending creativity with storytelling to engage audiences and inspire action.
- Proactive Opportunity Recognition: You'll continuously scan the environment for content opportunities - meaningful conversations, spontaneous teaching moments, or behind-the-scenes interactions that showcase authentic leadership. You must recognize when to film without being asked, understanding that you're being hired primarily to capture content, not as a travel companion.
- Attention to Detail: You'll think through the little things that make a big difference, like ensuring audio quality is flawless, lighting is ideal, or adding creative elements that elevate the final product.
Core Expectations:
- Work-First Mindset: Understand that on trips and during events, you are there primarily to work. Your role is to capture valuable content first, with personal time being secondary. Rest comes after the content is secured.
- Professional Timeliness: Punctuality is non-negotiable. You must be ready to film before scheduled events begin and maintain consistent reliability with all deadlines and commitments.
- Content Instinct: Develop and demonstrate an instinct for valuable content. If a meaningful conversation or teachable moment is happening, begin filming without needing to be prompted.
- Adaptability: Be prepared for early mornings, late nights, and schedule changes. The nature of capturing authentic content means being ready when moments happen, not just during standard hours.
Qualifications
- Proven experience in videography and editing.
- Proficiency in tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent.
- Demonstrated ability to identify and capture valuable content without direction.
- Availability for travel and on-call flexibility.
- Strong storytelling skills to authentically capture a dynamic lifestyle.
- Exceptional time management and professional reliability.
- Alignment with Christian values and a shared commitment to faith-based principles.
- This role is open to male applicants only.
This role is for someone who's ready to think big and be deeply involved in a mission-driven life. You'll not only document this journey but also help shape the narrative that inspires hundreds of thousands to live boldly for Christ. If you're a Spirit-filled creative who's passionate about using your skills for the Kingdom, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Style of Videography
Here are some examples of the style of videography that I am striving to replicate:
- My Youtube channel (@charles_romer)
- Iman Gadzhi's cinematic vlog style, as shown in the intro of this video
- Daniel Dalen's aesthetic vlog style
- Style Vision: We're inspired by the cinematic quality showcased in Jamie Robbins’ work (Youtube: ) and are seeking a videographer with the vision, technical aptitude, and creative potential to produce content at a similar caliber. While you may not have created identical work in the past, your portfolio should demonstrate either comparable cinematography skills or a clear trajectory toward this level of production value. The ideal candidate will have both the technical foundation and creative ambition to elevate their work to this standard. Please share examples that best illustrate your capability and vision, along with a brief note about how you would approach achieving this cinematic quality for our projects.
Why Join Me?
This is more than a job—it's an invitation to be part of something meaningful and unique. As a videographer and editor, you'll document a life that inspires others, collaborate on innovative projects, and witness entrepreneurial and spiritual growth firsthand.
Compensation/Hours
Starting pay is $3,500 monthly (with opportunities for growth) but subject to negotiation based on experience and expertise. Standard office hours are 9 am-5 pm, but early mornings and late nights are expected, especially during travel and events. Your primary responsibility is capturing valuable content, which will require flexible hours.
Culture and Values
Faith, creativity, and resilience form the foundation of our team. We value professionalism, flexibility, and a heart for service, striving to honor God in all aspects of our work.
Application Process
We believe in being thorough in our hiring process to ensure the right fit for both parties. Applicants should expect:
- Initial portfolio and experience review
- Skills assessment relevant to the videography style required
