• Scout, suggest, and hire supplying partners, including freelancers, agencies, and production companies. Ensure they meet Lilium’s standards and budget constraints.
• Work autonomously on multiple projects with tight deadlines across various image-related formats, such as social media video content, event videos, video press kits, and presentations.
• Design and pitch creative solutions, shape the creative vision, and communicate ideas and concepts to team members and superiors.
• Manage a growing asset library by indexing and tagging content in an organized and accessible manner.
• Produce, direct, and finalize small in-house productions as a one-person videographer and photographer. This includes the entire media creation process, such as lighting, sound recording, editing, grading, image retouching, and video graphics.
• If the scale of the project requires more than one person on set, direct other camera operators or small film crews.
