The gist:
We’re looking for a highly-efficient video creative with unparalleled hustle. Ideally, you’re a post-production ace who can pump out video edits at lightning speed, but you also love to learn while doing—and thrive wearing many creative hats. Our team is young, hungry, and scaling fast—and as a data-driven company, we’re big on numbers. If you’re looking to play a key role in building out our ground-floor creative machine—and learn more in a year than most do in five—you’ve come to the right place. In addition to owning the video editing tasks (primarily working from paper edits to churn out high-performance video ads), you’ll also work on productions, help concept paid social content, and aid in day-to-day creative project management tasks.
What you’ll do:
Edit social media videos (especially UGC & influencer content for social media & paid digital channels) seen by millions of people
Work closely with our in-house copy team, targeting performance metrics
Thoughtfully A/B test video concepts based on audience insights and previous tests
Understand test results and incorporate learnings into future iterations.
Ensure Kikoff brand stays consistent through projects.
Elevate the creative. Execute and make your own choices to increase efficacy and validity of asset.
Contribute to brainstorming sessions across many projects
Transcribe content, caption videos, revise projects based on rounds of review, deliver in different orientations, and backup project files
What we’re looking for:
Driven and Ambitious. You have the drive to move performance metrics, increase validity of asset, and communicate creative thoughts
Technical Ability. A proficiency in Premiere Pro and familiarity with the entire Adobe Creative Suite
Strategic. You have a keen business sense, and understand testing strategies through video creative
Analytical. You’re not afraid to dive into the data (or learn how to interpret it!), look at previous insights, and make your own choices to optimize performance of the video creative you craft
Collaborative. You’ll work side-by-side with the creative team & user-acquisition managers.
Articulate. You can express the intentions behind your choices; leveraging data, hypotheses, and experience as reasoning for the ideas you’re championing
Bonuses
Video Production: A basic understanding of lighting subjects, and mirrorless video capturing
Experience on a film set
Proficiency in After Effects or other motion design/GFX/animation platforms
Davinci Resolve and/or Lumetri Color
Final Sound Mixing & Mastering Abilities
