Job description

Betashares is one of Australia’s leading ETF and investment management businesses, with ambitions to become a leading wealth manager and household name by 2030. The business manages more than $80 billion in assets across a broad range of ETFs, managed accounts and direct investment solutions. Betashares is entering its next phase of growth — scaling its retail platform, deepening customer engagement, and broadening its wealth proposition — and marketing is a critical driver of this growth.

About the Role

Betashares is seeking a skilled Video Production Manager to build and lead its in‑house video production capability. This is a hands‑on, end‑to‑end production role for someone who can move a brief from concept to delivery at pace — and who is genuinely excited about using AI‑powered production tools to increase speed, quality and scale.

AI‑assisted production is not an optional add‑on in this role — it is central to the Betashares model for in‑house video. The successful candidate will be as fluent with Synthesia, Runway, HeyGen and ElevenLabs as they are with Adobe Premiere Pro.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end video production: brief, script, storyboard, shoot, direct, edit and deliver.
• Produce a broad range of video formats: presenter‑led explainers, social video (Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn video), advertising (pre‑roll, YouTube, programmatic), motion graphics, animated content, webinar recordings and event content.
• Manage the video production calendar and ensure on‑time delivery across multiple concurrent briefs.
• Operate camera, lighting and audio equipment for in‑studio and location shoots.
• Post‑produce content in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or equivalent, including colour grading, audio mixing and motion graphics.
• Lead the adoption of AI‑powered production tools to increase speed, quality and scale across video output — this is a primary, not secondary, responsibility.
• Use tools such as Synthesia, HeyGen, Runway, ElevenLabs and equivalent platforms to produce AI‑assisted content efficiently and to brand standard.
• Develop AI‑assisted production workflows that scale Betashares’ video output without requiring proportionate increases in headcount or cost.
• Build a systematic approach to evaluating emerging video AI tools: assess quality, cost, brand risk and production fit; bring credible recommendations to the Director IHA.
• Train and upskill the broader In‑House Agency in AI video production techniques, sharing workflows, prompts and best practice.
• Ensure all video output is on‑brand, visually consistent and meeting the Betashares creative standard — regardless of whether produced traditionally or via AI‑assisted workflows.
• Collaborate with the Senior Art Director and Director IHA on concept development for video‑led campaigns.
• Maintain and evolve a library of video templates, motion graphic assets and reusable production elements.
• Manage relationships with external production suppliers, post‑production houses and specialist freelancers where required.
• Brief, oversee and quality‑assure all externally produced video content.
• Manage external production budgets with clear accountability to agreed spend.
• Work within the IHA workflow: receive briefs via the Traffic Manager, flag resourcing constraints proactively, and deliver to agreed SLAs.
• Collaborate closely with the copywriter on scripts and the design team on motion graphic integration.
• Maintain a well‑organised archive of all produced assets, including raw footage, project files and final deliverables.

About You

• 4–7 years of video production experience, with a strong portfolio across multiple formats and industries.
• Hands‑on proficiency across the full production cycle: pre‑production, shoot, post‑production and delivery.
• Strong post‑production skills in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or equivalent).
• Demonstrated, hands‑on experience with AI video production tools (Synthesia, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs or similar) — this is a core requirement of the role.
• Track record of building AI‑assisted production workflows, not just using AI tools on an ad‑hoc basis.
• Ability to produce high‑quality content quickly without over‑engineering the production process.
• Strong creative sensibility and brand awareness — able to self‑direct to a high creative standard.
• Comfortable working across B2C and B2B formats and audiences.
• Experience in financial services or a regulated category is desirable but not essential.
• Intellectually excited by the pace of change in AI video production: actively follows developments, experiments with new tools and brings fresh thinking to the team.

What’s in it for You…

• High‑paying, fast‑paced, and complex job that brings high‑value content to an exciting new growth market.
• Autonomy and ownership to shape AI‑powered video production across a large brand.
• Opportunity to build a world‑class production pipeline and architect the production ecosystem.
• Competitive salary plus up‑to 20% discretionary performance bonus.
• Share‑based incentive programmes, equity and stock‑option packages.
• Bonuses, rare bonuses, perks as part of an elite rewards program.
• Extensive benefits including well‑being, travel, 401(k), health, etc. (as per policy).
• Creative freedom and high‑level impact on brand and business.
