Creative Videographer/Editor (Freelance > Fulltime)

## **Ultra™ | Nicotine-Free Pouches for Focus & Energy** ### **About Ultra ⚡️** Ultra™ is already the #1 brand of nicotine-free pouches in the world. Our mission is to build the category-defining brand of functional pouches for people who want enhanced performance without the crash, addiction, or long-term downsides. Ultra does not just make a pouch that is somewhat “better for you” than Zyn. We make functional performance products that are actively good for you. The market shift is massive: nicotine pouch sales are up 3,000% since 2019 and projected to reach $20B by 2026. Consumers are adopting the pouch form factor at scale, and many are now seeking nicotine-free functional benefits in a pouch. Ultra is positioned to lead that wave. Backed by some of the best investors, founders and athletes in the world, including: **Left Lane Capital** (Blank Street, Olipop, Holy) **Sugar Capital** (Grüns, Feastables, Lucky Energy) **Athletes & Creators** Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, Henrik Lundqvist, Jakob Chyrchrun + more **Founders & Operators** Chad Janis (Grüns), Harpreet Singh (Oura Ring), Jeff Rader (Harry’s), Vinay Menda (Blank Street), + more Learn more: [](http://takeultra.com) ## **The Role 🎥** Ultra is looking for a **NYC-based freelance videographer + editor** who can **produce, shoot, and edit** high-performing short-form content at speed — with the **opportunity to grow into a full-time role**.
