Video Content Strategist/Marketer

Strive Marketing is looking for a creative, technical, and driven Lead Video Producer to join our team. We are looking for a visual storyteller who understands how to create performance-driven content that stops the scroll and converts prospects into leads/sales.

Speed is critical. We believe in aggressive, data-driven creative testing and rapid iteration. We need a producer who understands that not every video is a cinema-quality documentary; sometimes, a rough, authentic phone edit performs better than a polished production. If you are a perfectionist who needs 3 weeks to edit a 30-second Reel, this role is not for you. We value high output and rapid iteration.

As our first dedicated video hire, you will wear many hats. You will be shooting on-location, editing high-performance short-form ads, and eventually building the systems for our future creative department.

Key Responsibilities

Production (40%)

• On-Location Shooting: Travel to client sites to capture high-quality video and photo assets. This includes interviews, b-roll of heavy machinery/trucks, team headshots, and action shots.
• Drone Cinematography: Capture aerial footage of client projects and locations.
• Direction: You won’t just be a fly on the wall. You will direct talent, set up lighting, and ensure the audio is crisp.

Performance Creative & Strategy (60%)

• High-Volume Performance Creative: Own the entire creative workflow from raw footage to A/B test-ready ads. This involves producing a high volume of rapid-iteration, high-converting ads (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) and analyzing performance data with the marketing team to guide future creative decisions.
• Asset Creation: Produce website headers (video montages), YouTube content, and social media image assets.
• Build the Creative Playbook: You will define and document the full-funnel video strategy and production workflows (SOPs, Loom videos) to scale our future creative department.
• Be the Face: Eventually, we want you to be comfortable hopping in front of the camera to create content for the Strive Marketing YouTube channel and social media.

Who You Are

• A Performance-Minded Creative: You prioritize impact and iteration velocity over needless perfection. You thrive in a high-output, data-feedback loop environment.
• A Hybrid Creative: You are comfortable holding a camera and sitting in the edit bay.
• Tech Agnostic but Proficient: We provide the gear/software, but you need to be a master of your chosen tools to ensure speed.
• Organized: You can manage footage from multiple clients without losing track of files.

Requirements

• Portfolio Required: Applications without a link to a reel or portfolio will not be considered.
• Travel Ready: Must have a valid driver's license. You will drive to shoots in the Greater Sacramento area and occasionally fly to client sites across the US.
• Note: Strive Marketing covers all travel expenses (flights, hotels, gas).
• Drone Pilot: FAA Part 107 License is highly preferred.
• Note: If you don't have it, Strive Marketing will pay for your certification process.
