Introduction

Cartrack, a world-leading smart mobility Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technology company operating across 24 countries, is looking for a Creative Videographer to join our high-achieving and energetic team based in Rosebank, Johannesburg. We’re currently seeking a well-rounded creative who goes beyond editing. While strong editing skills are essential, this role requires someone who is equally confident behind the camera—able to plan, shoot, and bring ideas to life from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

• Conceptualise and create attention-grabbing and engaging video ads based on campaign objectives and target audience.
• Translate briefs into clear visual plans, including scenes, shots, and pacing.
• Capture footage with a focus on creative shots, unconventional angles, and intentional camera movement that grabs attention.
• Execute video shoots confidently, including framing, lighting, directing talent, and capturing footage that is engaging.
• Take full ownership of the end-to-end ad production process.
• Edit high-performing video content for paid media campaigns, and ensure alignment with brand guidelines.
• Optimise videos for different platforms (aspect ratios, lengths, formats) and ensure they meet platform-specific best practices and requirements.
• Work closely with the marketing team to test and iterate on video creatives for continuous improvement.
• Implement motion graphics, effects, text overlays, and sound design as necessary to enhance video performance.
• Perform other assigned ad-hoc tasks

• Proficiency in video editing software such as Capcut, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, or similar tools
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and handle multiple projects with tight deadlines under minimal supervision
• Ability to translate ideas or scripts into engaging visual storytelling
