Video Lead

About The Role & Team

At Amplitude, we're looking for a Video Lead to join our Brand Marketing team and bring our story to life through high-impact, scroll-stopping content. We need a creative powerhouse—someone who crafts videos people want to watch and can't help but share, and who owns the entire video creation process from ideation through launch.

Do you love building iconic brands and keeping your finger on the pulse of what's trending? Do you eat, sleep, and breathe video? Are you constantly pushing creative boundaries and experimenting with new formats, sounds, and styles to meet the moment? If so, this is the role for you. You'll report directly to the Marketing Creative Director and play a key role in shaping how the world experiences Amplitude.

As a Video Lead you will:

• Create unforgettable, scroll-stopping videos that capture attention: ride the wave of social trends, and make people want to watch and share.
• Own in-house video creation: from ideation product demos, product launch videos, fun social media memes, executive messages, event animations, etc.
• Oversee and coordinate external video vendors: give direction and feedback to video agencies creating work beyond the scope of one person.
• Work at every level of the company: interns to the CEO, everyone loves video and you'll be the beating heart. Collaborate daily with other creatives, designers, writers, and our social team.
• Be a swiss army knife: concept, pitch, prep, record/film, direct, interview, edit/animate, publish.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:

• 5-7+ years of experience creating video content across a range of formats and platforms.
• A strong portfolio that showcases a modern design aesthetic, great taste, and standout work, with an emphasis on product videos and social content.
• A sharp creative eye and a high bar for excellence in every frame.
• A deep understanding of the full video production process from concept and pre-production through shooting and post.
• Technical know-how: you're confident working with cameras, lighting, and sound gear, and you know your F-stops, dBs, and kelvin.
• Software mastery—you're fluent in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Premiere and After Effects) or similar editing and animation tools.
• A passion for learning and experimenting; you're always exploring the latest tools, techniques, and creative technologies.
• A strong sense of social culture. You stay ahead of trends and know how to create content that captures attention, sparks engagement, and has real viral potential.
• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Digital Art, Video Production, or equivalent experience.

You'll be an amazing addition (with these preferred qualifications) to the team if you:

• You're gregarious and don't mind being the center of attention, or wrangling people to be in videos.
• You can direct non-actors.
