About BJAK

The original mission of BJAK is we believe people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. This is the origin of our name.

Started in 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, its the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.

Today, we are expanding ways to help people in the region — this includes spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our mission is help people get more from their money every day.

We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoys their work. We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find. We are looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours. Who loves building great next-generation products, not status quo. Who cares about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.

If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.

The Role

We’re looking for a creative and detail-oriented Videographer/ Editor to drive BJAK’s video direction across all channels. You’ll lead concept development, manage end-to-end production, and edit raw footage into visually engaging, on-brand video content for multiple platforms. You will collaborate with creatives across departments to elevate the visual quality of all marketing and brand materials. This role is ideal for a hands-on creator with strong technical editing skills, a passion for crafting visually powerful narratives, and the ability to produce high-quality work under tight deadlines.

This is a 3-month contract role with an opportunity to transition into a full-time role afterwards.

3. Creative Collaboration

Work closely with the Creative, Marketing, and Social Media teams to bring ideas to life through strong visual narratives.
Provide creative input on visual direction, pacing, and storytelling.
Support weekly content production cycles — from short-form reels to long-form marketing videos.
Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, copywriters, and strategists to deliver cohesive content campaigns.

4. Workflow & Asset Management

Oversee the full production pipeline — from media management and equipment setup to file optimization and export.
Maintain organized archives of raw footage, assets, and project files for easy access and reuse.
Ensure efficient troubleshooting and execution of editing workflows and proper file backups.
Collaborate with other videographers and editors to maintain a consistent editing standard across projects.

5. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

Stay updated on social media video trends, editing tools, and visual effects techniques.
Experiment with new storytelling techniques and visual styles to increase audience reach and retention.
Suggest and test new editing styles or formats to improve engagement and content performance.

What We’re Looking For
