WE’RE HIRING: SENIOR FILMMAKER / PRODUCTION LEAD 🎥
HAMLIN is looking for a Senior Filmmaker / Production Lead to join our growing production team in London.
£40,000-50,000 annual
Full-time freelance / contractor
London-based + UK travel
This is a big role for us. We’re an independent production studio creating award-winning podcasts, YouTube series, branded films and original formats for some of the UK’s leading talent, founders and brands. As HAMLIN grows, we’re looking for someone brilliant on the production floor who can take real ownership of our day-to-day filming.
The Role
You’ll lead the technical production of HAMLIN’s recurring podcast slate and support the wider team across YouTube, branded content and larger productions. A large part of the role will be taking ownership of productions from kit prep through to shoot and media handover. You’ll be trusted to turn up to a HAMLIN production and know exactly what needs to happen.
This includes:
- Setting up and operating multi-camera productions
- Lighting talent and sets to a consistently high standard
- Setting up, recording and monitoring professional audio
- Running podcast shoots independently
- Working both from our London studio and on location
- Preparing, packing and managing production equipment
- Travelling to shoots across London and the UK
- Managing cards, drives and footage after filming
- Preparing and handing media over cleanly to our post-production team
- Troubleshooting technical issues on set
- Maintaining consistency across recurring productions
- Representing HAMLIN professionally with clients, talent and guests
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll work closely with me as Founder/Director, our producers and our post-production team.
What We’re Looking For
This isn’t an entry-level videographer role. You need to be confident walking onto a production and taking responsibility for it.
You should have strong experience with:
- Professional cinema/mirrorless camera systems
- Multi-camera production
- Lenses, exposure and colour profiles
- Professional lighting
- Wireless and broadcast-quality audio
- Audio gain staging and monitoring
- Production equipment and troubleshooting
- Media management and backups
- Shooting both in controlled studios and on location
Experience filming podcasts, interviews, documentary, entertainment, YouTube or branded content is ideal. Knowledge of Canon and Sony cinema systems is a plus, but being technically brilliant and adaptable matters more.
The Person
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Extremely reliable
- Calm under pressure
- Organised and proactive
- Great with people
- Comfortable around high-profile talent
- Obsessed with production quality
- Able to work independently without constant direction
- Someone who notices problems before they become problems
- Happy working as part of a small, ambitious team
- Interested in growing with the company long-term
A full UK driving licence is essential. You must be comfortable driving to productions and transporting production equipment when required.

This isn’t just about podcasts. Podcasts will form the recurring foundation of the role, but HAMLIN is building much more than a podcast studio. As we grow, there will be opportunities to work across premium YouTube series, documentary-style productions, commercial and branded films, talent-led entertainment, HAMLIN Originals and larger multi-crew productions. We’re looking for someone who can become a key production person inside HAMLIN rather than simply turning up as a camera operator.
HAMLIN is a London production studio building shows, not content. We develop and produce podcasts, YouTube series, branded films and original entertainment formats from concept through to delivery.
We’re deliberately building a small team of brilliant specialists who care about the work, take ownership and want to build something ambitious together.
This is a full-time freelance / contractor position, working primarily across London with regular UK travel.
£40,000–£50,000 annual retainer, depending on experience.
To Apply
Send us:
- CV
- Showreel / portfolio
- Examples of productions you’ve personally shot
- A short introduction about yourself
- Your location and availability
- Tell us about the production you’re most proud of working on and exactly what your role was.
