Job description

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.

Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.

As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.

About the Role

The Creative Core team in Marketing crafts simple, high-impact, human experiences that reflect our people and products. We are looking for a storyteller who can help shape the narrative arc of our videos, refine pacing and tone through editorial craft, and bring ideas to life across a range of formats.

We work as a close-knit team, collaborating with external agencies and cross-company creative partners. Our focus is on a consistent, impactful, and clear creative narrative. The Creative Core team is responsible for bringing our stories to life through video and narrative storytelling. Video is an essential part of how we connect to our audience—whether explaining a new product, capturing a customer story, or showcasing the craft behind our technology.

This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our San Francisco office 3 days per week.

• Incorporate motion design, titles, and other assets from the design team to enhance narrative and brand consistency
• Participate in creative reviews and guide the direction of video and content development
• Drive storytelling experiments using emerging AI video and voice technologies
• Manage timelines, deliverables, and revisions to meet multiple deadlines across projects
• Contribute to or lead production planning and coordination

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of relevant professional experience in video production or related fields
• Experience writing or co-writing scripts, outlines, and interview-based narratives
• Experience with portfolio showcasing storytelling, pacing, and editorial craft across various formats and durations

• Production experience: cameras, lighting, directing talent, or overseeing shoots
• Experience with DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro
• Experience with emerging technologies and curiosity to explore new formats and creative techniques
• Experience working in collaborative, cross-functional creative teams
• Experience with visual storytelling principles, sound design, pacing, and emotional resonance
