About You

You’re a big-picture thinker who can also get down in the details. You own a video strategy—you drive initiatives through relentless advocacy and are “all in” on helping to develop, influence, and measure execution. You have 5+ years in the field, including experience collaborating with product and marketing leaders to implement video.

You’re comfortable driving at any level: from video creator to project manager. You have experience in all aspects of video production. You’re able to jump in on editing task, for example, if needed, and you’re able to delegate it all from start to finish. You have 2+ years of experience managing an outsourced video budget.

You’re well-versed in video distribution, from YouTube to new channels. You have 2+ years of YouTube strategy experience, including SEO, and you constantly learn about and test new video platforms and formats to reach your audience.

You’re data-driven, eager to show how video contributes to marketing goals. You have a history of independently using marketing data to make strategic video decisions, report performance, and earn stakeholder buy-in.

You’re a coach to other video practitioners. You have a track record of developing video skills and helping to grow the video careers of others.

You’re an excellent written communicator. You can clearly state in writing the “why” behind your strategy, the most recent quarter’s results, or the upcoming delegated tasks. We’re a 100% remote team and writing is our primary means of communication at Zapier.

You’re exceptional at time management. You juggle a variety of fast-moving video projects, and as a part of a distributed team, you’ll be trusted to work with minimal supervision. As a part of a growing company, you have an opportunity to make a big impact, and you’re keen to build processes that’ll make your job more efficient over time.
