Video Producer
On-siteSacramento, California, United States
Job Summary
Own video end to end: develop strategy, write scripts, shoot, edit, and analyze performance metrics. Manage YouTube channels, short-form social content, customer sales assets, webinars, and performance creative testing. Handle production logistics, post-production workflows, and video operations including library management. Pitch original ideas, run experiments based on data, and partner with design and sales teams. Report on results honestly, including failed tests.

Based in Sacramento, CA, this role offers full onsite hours Monday through Friday.
Required Qualifications
- 4+ years producing video professionally, ideally for a brand or in-house team
- A portfolio with range — long-form and short-form, polished and scrappy
- End-to-end capability — you can concept, shoot, and edit without handing off between steps
- Camera, lighting, and audio competence — you can run a shoot alone and get clean footage
- Expert-level Premiere Pro and After Effects; comfort in Photoshop and Illustrator
- Real storytelling and scripting ability — you can find the narrative in a dry topic
- Hook-based editing instincts — you understand retention, pacing, and why people keep watching
- Hands-on AI experience or genuine enthusiasm to learn — you see it as leverage
- Self-direction — you prioritize, plan, and deliver without being managed
- Continuous-learning and self-improvement mindset — you are constantly thinking about how you can better and perfect your craft
- A degree or equivalent experience in Film, Communications, Design, Marketing, or a related field
Desired Qualifications
- Run with minimal direction. You'll get goals and context, not shot lists
- Pitch ideas nobody asked for. The best work here will start with you
- Ship fast and often. Find the appropriate balance of high-quality and speed
- Treat every video as an experiment — form a hypothesis, publish, read the data, adjust
- Partner with content, design, and sales so video connects to the rest of the engine
- You have strong video producing fundamentals and taste and only use AI to move faster — not as a crutch
- Report on performance honestly, including the misses. Failed tests are how we learn what works
