Help Us Build What Comes Next

Bathing Brands is growing a portfolio of leading sauna, steam, and wellness brands, including SaunaLife, FINSAUNA, Prosaunas, Finnmark Designs, World Sauna Group, and Bathing Brands.

We are looking for a filming-first Video Producer & Videographer who can turn complex product builds, demonstrations, and lifestyle concepts into clear, visually compelling footage.

This role is primarily focused on filming and production. While editing knowledge is required, the successful candidate will spend most of their time planning shoots, capturing footage, directing talent, and producing content in the field rather than sitting behind a computer editing video.

This is not a desk-bound editing role. You will work behind the camera, direct talent, collaborate with builders and product experts, and solve production challenges in real time. You will lead filming while partnering with an experienced internal editor who will own most post-production and final delivery.

Strong editing knowledge is essential, but your primary responsibility will be filming, directing talent, and delivering complete, organized, edit-ready footage.

You'll spend time in active construction environments, showrooms, production spaces, and lifestyle settings, capturing content that helps customers understand and experience our products.

Please Note Important Requirements:

A portfolio or demo reel is required and must be submitted with your application.
You must be able to report to our Wheeling, IL office on a weekly basis, hybrid schedule available.
