Video Producer

**Description**: **The Role** Before we start in earnest, we'd like you to watch a couple of videos. Take your time - the job ad will still be here when you're done. Back? Excellent. With that out of the way, here's the pitch: do you want to spend the rest of your career clocking hours on product b-roll and corporate training videos? Or do you dream of creating video content that tells immersive stories to an online following of millions? Our brand promise is simple: "It's not a product. It's a culture." That's a lot more than a catchphrase - it's core to everything we do. Whether we're sending content creators birthday cakes with baked-in phones, roasting beggars on social media, nuking PETA, or creating a mini-documentary of a customer getting our logo tattooed on their leg, we're in the business of building a brand experience first, and delivering (world-class) products second. In return, we’ve amassed a cult. That, and access to a lot of wallets. We won't lie: it's a pretty sweet deal. Over the years, our audience has come to expect a certain standard of storytelling and polish on the video content that represents our compelling experiences. To continue pushing this standard upwards, we require a Video Producer who gets it - someone who understands online culture and our place within it, while possessing the technical aptitudes in filming and editing to bring our criminally insane ideas to life. With end-to-end involvement in both ideation and production of content, our Video Producer understands the "why" just as well as they understand the "how". Above all else, they're maniacally focused on a single objective: evolve the cult of dbrand. If that doesn't sound like your kind of job, save us all some time and close the tab. This job isn't right for you. If, on the other hand, you're the sort of creative and motivated individual that we're looking for - with experience behind both the camera and in the editing bay - keep reading. Those corporate training videos can wait. **The Characteristics**: - **Agile**: You’re nimble. You’re adaptable.
