Our team creates impactful, high-quality content to inspire and educate our growing audience across social media, email, and beyond.

Combine that with our hundreds of 5-star reviews, and it’s no surprise that we’ve become the most trusted vegan fitness coaching team in the world! Check out the video below to learn about our community.

Our Core Values

Our Core Values are the heart and soul of our incredible team. If you don’t think, “HECK YEAH! I’m 100% aligned with these Core Values!!” after reading them, then The Vegan Gym is not the right team for you. It is IMPERATIVE that you align 100% with our Core Values.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a passionate and hard-working videographer specializing in run-and-gun filming and studio environment “direct-to-camera” filming to join our growing Creative Team. This is a full-time (primarily) remote position with opportunities for growth and creative freedom.

You will be responsible for filming and editing content for YouTube and social media (we will fly you to our film sets around the US) and documenting our in-person events, such as our awesome Vegan Superhero Retreats! You will be an integral part of our mission to transform lives and spread veganism! 🙌

To see how our team transforms lives, please watch Mikey’s story below.

Key Responsibilities

You will be expected to script/storyboard, direct, film, and edit inspiring client testimonials like Mikey’s testimonial, event videos like our 2024 Vegan Superhero Retreat highlight video, nutrition videos like our veggie ranking video, meal prep videos like our mix and match meal prep, and podcast videos like our interview with Dr. Michael Greger.

IMPORTANT: It is crucial that you are able to script/storyboard, direct, film, and edit videos with the quality of the above examples. To be considered for this role, you MUST include creative work examples in your application that have the quality of these example videos.

More specifically, here are the key responsibilities of your role:

  • Drive rapid growth of our YouTube channel, email list, and social media platforms.

  • Produce the best content in the vegan health and fitness world.

  • You will spend most of your shooting time filming our CEO, Leif, and other members of our team. It is your responsibility to ensure Leif genuinely wants to film because you create a fun, positive experience. It’s also your responsibility to provide real-time feedback behind the scenes to Leif and the Creative Team to ensure we produce a phenomenal end result.

  • Pay close attention to comments on all platforms to guide our creative direction and inform how you produce and manage future content.

  • Be responsible for “leaving everything better than you found it” wherever you film. You will often be filming in Leif’s personal spaces.

  • Document all lessons learned and work hard to continually improve our pre-production, production, and post-production processes.

  • Ensure all our content becomes better and better over time. Anything short of our best is unacceptable.

  • Ensure all content is properly organized and backed up.

Requirements

To qualify for this position, you MUST:

  • Be a vegan who is passionate about veganism, fitness, and plant-based nutrition 💪🌱

  • Live in the US

  • Be 100% aligned with our Core Values

  • Be driven and on FIRE to make a massive impact in the world! 🔥

  • Have a love for storytelling and filming

  • Have a proven track record in videography and digital content creation

  • Have an extremely high level of work ethic

  • Have access to high-speed internet during all working hours

  • Possess strong communication skills. Communication is essential in a (mostly) remote team.

  • Be willing to travel for filming (we generally film in 7- to 10-day blocks every 4-6 weeks) and work in a fast-paced environment.

Expectations

  • You must want to win. We are on a mission to help 1,000,000 vegans get into the best shape of their lives and DOMINATE the vegan health & fitness industry. Our audacious goals require that we refuse to settle for anything less than our best. If you don’t enjoy being pushed outside of your comfort zone and constantly learning, growing, and improving, this is not the right team for you.

  • You must be meticulous. We firmly believe that excellence is in the details. You need to always put in your 100% effort. When we film a nutrition video, we make sure the plates are spotless, and everything is in the exact right place. We pay close attention to every detail and put maximum effort into every task, from the mundane to the critical.

  • This is NOT a 9-5 job. Most of the time, you will work from home and will have flexibility in your schedule, but there will be long work days as needed to meet deadlines. You can expect to work about 45 hours per week on average. Also, when we get together to film, we keep filming until we’re done. Period. Film days are often 12-14 hour days. This behind-the-scenes photo of a meal prep video set was taken at 11 pm after 13 straight hours of filming. We have a lot of fun and laughs on set! 😄

Benefits

There are many perks to this position:

  • When we’re not filming, you can work from home (or anywhere in the world) 🌎

  • The opportunity to spend all of your work time with other awesome vegans! Our entire team and all of our clients are vegan! 🌱🐮🐷🐔😊

  • A dynamic, supportive, and purpose-driven work environment. ❤️

  • There is huge growth potential and endless opportunities within our fast-growing team! 🔥

  • Company-covered travel and accommodation expenses for filming.

  • Limitless opportunities for personal and professional growth! 🚀 For example, at The Vegan Gym, we have a Team Book Club that allows us to grow and learn together. Some recent books we’ve read as a team include Atomic Habits by James Clear, Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, and The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni.

  • Gear budget for all the toys and tools you need to make the most epic content in the vegan world! 😎🌱

  • Have the opportunity to attend (and document) our annual Vegan Superhero Retreats and other team events! Attendees have called this retreat “The BEST experience of my life!” and “A truly life-changing experience.” One attendee who has been to hundreds of vegan events over the past 30 years called the Vegan Superhero Retreat “the best vegan event in the world.” You don’t want to miss the power of this special experience!

  • You will have flexible paid time off.

  • While we currently do not offer traditional benefits like health insurance or a 401K plan, we prioritize your health and wellness with complimentary coaching from our world-class team, ensuring you feel (and look!) your best. 🌱💪

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

  • Impact: Every day, you’ll help clients transform their lives, save animals, and spread veganism, making a real difference for people, animals, and the planet. 🐮🌎❤️
