Job description

We're based on over 15 years of success, producing world-class video content and building, developing, and managing a number of high-traffic websites. Our award-winning content and websites are created exclusively by us and directly for the use of millions of users worldwide. At Kodify, we're not just pushing boundaries in online entertainment—we're rewriting the script! Our goal is to empower our people with everything they need to pioneer innovation in our industry. Our culture is our secret sauce, and we're committed to preserving and enhancing it every step of the way.

Join our crew, where the Kodify team is not just an asset—it's our crown jewel. We prioritize their growth and well-being above all else, ensuring they're set up for success and always inspired to deliver their best work.

As a rapidly expanding company with diverse hubs across the globe and over 20 vibrant national cultures, working with us means embracing thrilling challenges tailor-made for a star Video Ad Designer!

YOUR ROLE:

We are seeking a creative, data-driven Video Ad Designer to own the creative behind our paid acquisition. You'll produce high-performing video ads for pre-roll, native, and digital campaigns on premium platforms, building conversion-focused creative from our existing content library — and helping plan and produce ad-specific shoots when a campaign needs original footage. This role sits where creative craft meets performance marketing: you'll test constantly, analyse campaign KPIs in real time, and feed what you learn straight back into the next round of creative.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Concept, design, and produce video advertising for pre-roll, native, and digital campaigns across premium ad platforms.
• Help plan and produce ad-specific shoots — creative briefs, shot lists, and direction on what the ads need — working alongside the crew who films them.
• Build motion graphics, animated titles, overlays, and end cards that make our creative stand out in crowded placements.
• Version creative across aspect ratios, durations, and platform specs (vertical, square, landscape, bumper, etc.).
• Design and run A/B tests across the funnel — from ad creative through to landing page — and apply the results to the next iteration.
• Monitor performance metrics in real time (CTR, engagement, conversion) and translate paid media traffic insights into creative direction, in partnership with the media buying team.
• Contribute to landing page optimisation so the creative and its destination work together.
• Analyse campaign KPIs and report on creative performance, identifying what's working, what to kill, and where to push next.
• Perform colour correction, sound mixing, and audio synchronisation for a polished final output.
• Ensure strong brand alignment across a high volume of assets and campaigns.
• Organise and manage media assets, with clear naming conventions and version control.
• Stay up-to-date with advertising creative trends, platform requirements, and new features in the Adobe suite.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Generous training and development budget (10% of you annual salary)
• Competitive salary
• Generous PTO
• 1 month paid sabbatical after 3 years with us!
• 1 day off on your Birthday
• Extended parental leave
• Health and Wellness Budget
• Health insurance
• Cool and modern office space
• Latest tech equipment
• Healthy snacks and drinks provided at all times
• Opportunity to travel internationally in Company retreats!

• Proven experience producing video advertising creative for paid campaigns, with a portfolio that shows range across formats and, ideally, measurable results.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with working knowledge of Photoshop.
• Comfortable working from an existing content library, finding the strongest moments and cutting them into ads that convert.
• Experience on the pre-production side — briefs, shot lists, storyboards — for shoots carried out by a production crew. Camera operation is not part of this role.
• Strong motion graphics and typography skills, and a sharp instinct for hooks, pacing, and the first three seconds.
• Working understanding of paid media: pre-roll, native, and display formats, platform ad specs, and funnel metrics.
• Hands-on experience with A/B testing and using performance data (CTR, CPA, engagement) to drive creative decisions.
• Confident with KPI analysis — comfortable in ad platform and analytics dashboards, and able to turn CTR, LTV, CPA, engagement, and watch-through data into clear creative recommendations.
• Knowledge of different video formats, codecs, and exporting standards.
• Familiarity with landing page and CRO principles is a strong plus.
• Comfortable working at volume and turning feedback around quickly.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication skills and attention to detail.
