Creative Executive - Video Content Creator

The Challenge The internet is video-first and our clients need someone who can keep up. We're looking for a Swiss Army knife creative who can shoot a founder testimonial on iPhone at 9am, edit UGC content at lunch, and storyboard a hero campaign by EOD. Our clients in healthcare and wellness need authentic, high-converting video content across paid, owned, and earned channels - and they need it fast. Without this role, we're outsourcing everything or delivering static assets in a video world. What You'll Own End-to-end video production from concept to final export Quick-turn content capture (iPhone and professional gear) Editing and optimizing creator/UGC content for performance Building modular video systems that allow rapid testing Managing multiple creative projects without missing deadlines Creating content that actually converts, not just looks pretty How You'll Know You're Winning Your videos consistently beat static creative in A/B tests Clients start requesting you specifically for their launches You're delivering 10-15 video assets per week without burning out The media team hits their ROAS targets using your creative You've built a library of winning frameworks we can replicate Day-to-Day Impact No two days look the same, but here's a realistic week: Monday: Shoot three testimonials at a client's NYC office Tuesday: Edit 8 TikTok variations from creator content Wednesday: Storyboard a new product launch campaign Thursday: Cut 5 iterations of a high-performing ad for testing Friday: Shoot quick product demos and plan next week's content The split between shooting, editing, and strategy changes weekly based on client needs. You need to excel at all three. Requirements Your Background You've shot and edited content that's actually run as paid ads You can make an iPhone video look premium and professional footage feel authentic CapCut is second nature, but you know when to level up to Premiere/After Effects Your portfolio shows social-first thinking (9:16, hooks, thumb-stops) You understand performance marketing enough to know why the first 3 seconds matter You can work with anyone: founders, influencers, random employees who've never been on camera Our Operating Style We're ex-founders who built and sold our own companies, so we operate differently. No bureaucracy, no hand-holding, no "that's not my job" attitudes. You'll work directly with Creative and Strategy Directors and have real influence on campaign strategy. We focus on healthcare and wellness brands, which means the content needs to educate and convert, not just entertain. Small team, high standards, real impact on client growth.
