Video Creative

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 seasonal productions, pitch paid social concepts, and aid in day-to-day creative project management tasks.

This is a full-time hybrid position in our San Francisco HQ with benefits and equity in a fast-moving and fast-growing environment that will help you grow your abilities and career as you help build a better ecosystem of credit for our customers.  Currently, the Creative team works in the SF office ~4 days/week.

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

• You’re a creator or influencer in your spare time or have worked with social media talent

• A basic understanding of video productions (lighting, sound, shooting, PA experience)

• Proficiency in After Effects or other motion design/GFX/animation platforms

• Davinci Resolve and/or Lumetri Color

• Final Sound Mixing & Mastering Abilities and//or post sound design: music, foley, SFX

• Experience in a fast-paced environment (agency or in-house startup team)
