Role overview

XDS is looking for a Videographer and Content Producer to support its expansion in North America. In this role, you will be the visual storyteller shaping how riders, dealers, and fans experience the energy and performance of X-LAB bikes. You will manage video production from the first field capture through to final edits ready for large-scale marketing use.

This position suits someone who blends creativity with technical skill: someone equally confident filming in challenging outdoor conditions and refining a story in post-production. You will work alongside marketing, product, and athlete teams to help define a visual style that feels fast, rugged, and premium.

Key responsibilities

You will be responsible for building video content that supports campaigns, launches, and brand storytelling across multiple channels.

• Plan, shoot, and edit video content for campaigns, tutorials, lifestyle shoots, testimonials, and events, including logistics, equipment setup, and direction on location.
• Record drone and action footage of X-LAB bikes in urban, suburban, and outdoor environments.
• Convert longer videos into short-form edits optimized for social media platforms.
• Handle post-production work such as story structure, sound design, color correction/grading, and motion graphics for social, web, retail, and event content.
• Turn marketing goals into video assets and supporting content that highlight X-LAB’s performance, technology, and cycling culture.
• Work closely with marketing and product teams to support go-to-market plans and product launches.
• Organize and maintain a structured library of raw footage and completed assets for global reuse.
• Keep up with trends in action-sports videography and production technology, continuously introducing fresh ideas to improve the brand’s visual output.

What you need

• At least 3 years of professional videography experience, particularly in action sports such as cycling, MTB, moto, or similar environments.
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates technical strength in cinematography, dynamic action capture, and narrative editing.
• Advanced skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and standard tools for color and audio finishing.
• Hands-on experience managing the full production workflow, from storyboarding and location scouting to export.
• Solid knowledge of lighting, camera equipment, and tools such as gimbals, drones, and action cameras for safely filming fast-moving subjects.
• Comfort working under pressure, meeting tight deadlines, and adjusting quickly to changing field conditions.

Preferred background

• Strong familiarity with cycling culture, the industry, and standout athletes in the sport.
• Experience in studio production, product photography, or lighting for commercial shoots.
• Genuine interest in gear, technology, and current production trends.

Compensation and benefits

The role offers a competitive salary, access to a demo bike fleet, generous time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, and office space in Santa Monica, California.
