Description

As Jacob's Videographer and Editor, you will be leading the creative direction and execution of all of our content. This is a high-ownership, high-leverage role: we are a content-first business, and our future success depends heavily on our ability to acquire and retain attention and loyalty through our online presence. You will be expected to have high autonomy, creativity, and direction in this role. You will be executing content end-to-end: from ideating and storyboarding to editing and distribution.

This will not be your typical "content creator" or "social media manager" role. We are looking for individuals with the experience (or desire to be) in a high-growth, fast pace environment which necessitates our ability to move rapidly: do in a day what others do in a week. Our ideal candidate has worked with behind the scenes for social media creators, streamers, or in an agency/brand setting.

Responsibilities (high level):

• UGC, social clips: Work closely with Brand, Content, Partnerships, and Growth to repurpose influencer content and generate UGC assets.
• Performance, conversion-driven content: Continuously test formats, hooks, edits, and tones, reviewing data with Growth to refine what converts.
• Cinematic production: Film high-quality, on-brand visuals that capture lifestyle, product, and brand footage for launches, BTS, and storytelling needs
• Edit fast and smart: Rapidly turn around UGC-style videos, social clips, performance ads, and long-form content for Instagram, TikTok, Meta, and landing pages.
• Maintain a lean creative system: Organize raw footage, templates, music libraries, and project files for maximum efficiency and output.

Requirements

• 3+ years of video editing experience in a brand, agency, or creator setting.
• Proficient in software editing.
• Experience filming with professional cameras, lighting setups, and audio equipment.
• Deep understanding of social and paid video trends.
• A portfolio that shows range: storytelling, sales-driven, and viral instincts.
• Strong sense of brand (consistency, memorability, distinctiveness).

Personal Attributes

• Set ambitious goals and consistently beat them.
• You have a habit of winning. You are competitive.
• Default to action. Get things done quickly.
• Energized by fast, unstructured environments with full freedom to build.
• Operate with accountability (you don’t wait to be told).
• Think in systems, highly organized (even in chaos), and detail-oriented.
• Obsess over clarity (of goals, data, and communication).
• Take action quickly, learn fast, and iterate without ego.
• Speak directly, receive feedback openly, and pursue truth over politics (no right or wrong, only what\'s best for the business).
• Love the grind of building something meaningful and category-defining.
• Care deeply about health, performance, and helping others feel better.
• Full-time, in-office position (5 days per week) based in New York City.
• Cash compensation: $90,000 - 180,000.
• Company equity opportunity.
