Video Content Creator Job Opportunity
We are seeking a skilled and creative Video Content Creator to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in producing engaging video content for social media platforms, as well as excellent communication and project management skills.
About the Role:
This is a 4-day per week role (30.4 hours) that requires the ability to work independently and as part of a team. As a Video Content Creator, you will be responsible for developing and implementing a content strategy that aligns with our brand goals and objectives.
* Developing and producing high-quality video content for social media platforms, including short-form videos and ads;
* Collaborating with our creative team to brainstorm and pitch new ideas and concepts;
* Managing and maintaining a library of video assets;
* Working with production companies to source and hire talent and equipment as needed;
* Providing input on design and copywriting elements of video content;
* Creating behind-the-scenes office content of good dogs and humans;
* Brainstorming / ideating video concepts in response to ongoing content calendar activities;
Key Responsibilities:
* Producing and editing new video creative for performance channels – paid social ads on Instagram, FB, Youtube, etc. and iterating on existing videos;
* Capturing dog stories and health tips into engaging, fun content for our socials, website, and ads;
* Shooting and editing lo-fi videos for product launches, content campaigns, collabs and partnerships or just of dogs being dogs;
* Working closely with the creative team to get the words and designs you need to make Scratch's socials a chaotic good corner of the internet;
* Producing interview-style videos or educational content with our in-house vet and other talented experts and dog lovers to share their stories and advice;
Requirements:
* A digital native who loves dogs, social media and making videos;
* A whizz at social-first video – there's no need to tell you the dimensions for an IG story. Reels, Tik Tok, FB ads, YT vids, and more – you can jump in and help create channel-specific content using best practice;
* Come with a good understanding of what video content drives sales when creating ads. So 3+ years of brand experience would be ideal;
* A fast, experienced video editor. We tend to use Adobe (Premiere and After Effects) but have no problem if you prefer CapCut or other software;
* Always looking for the next content opportunity. You're observant and quick to jump on an idea – you see a trend as it kicks off, can decide if it's relevant for us then get it made before it gets old;
* Comfortable presenting in front of the camera as needed or proactive about roping in team members or your mates in the industry to do so too (including your dog friends), sourcing talent on casting sites or using dogs you meet on the street as talent;
* Experienced enough to know when something needs polish or can be done more simply;
* Able to take an idea, run with it and bring something to life creatively fairly autonomously;
* A team player, easy collaborator, open communicator and genuinely nice person;
* Able to leave their ego at home and enjoy shaping the future of Scratch's content;
* Curious about what our audience is responding to and relaxed enough about your ideas to adapt them to feedback & data;
Perks:
* 5 paid annual leave days to volunteer at animal shelters/rescues or climate-focused not-for-profits;
* Free Scratch food for your dogs;
* 3 paid Pawternity days if you bring home a puppy or rescue;
* Time off if you have a sick pet (not just dog);
* Industry-leading parental leave scheme for a small business (all parents are entitled to at least 8 weeks of fully paid leave. Primary carers more).
