The gist:

We’re looking for a highly efficient Junior Video Creative to join Kikoff’s growing Creative team. 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. 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.

Our team is hungry, and scaling quickly. We’re a data-driven company, which means performance matters just as much as aesthetics. 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.

What you’ll do:

• Edit high-performance video creative for social media and paid digital channels, with a strong focus on UGC and influencer-style content

• Work closely with our in-house copy team, targeting performance metrics

• Thoughtfully A/B test video concepts based on audience insights and historical performance data

• Incorporate learnings from tests and performance results into future iterations

• Ensure Kikoff brand stays consistent through projects

• Elevate creative execution by making thoughtful decisions that improve performance

• 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. Proficient in Premiere Pro and familiarity with the entire Adobe Creative Suite

• Strategic. You understand how video creative fits into testing strategies and business objectives

• 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

• Post Sound Design: music, foley, sfx

• Experience on an in-house creative team
