JOB OVERVIEW

We're a fast-growing sports & fitness DTC brand. We make water-filled instability training gear used by athletes, coaches, and everyday people who want to move and feel better. Our growth runs on video - short-form ads and organic social - and creative is the single biggest lever we have. You'd join a small, fast team and own a big part of what the world sees.

THE ROLE
You turn raw footage, UGC, and briefs into scroll-stopping short-form video for Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts - both paid ads and organic posts. Formats: UGC, hooks, problem/solution, testimonial, product-focus, VSL-style, and fresh angle/hook variations of what's already winning. Roughly 1 in 4 videos will use AI generation to extend or reimagine winning angles.

THIS IS NOT THE ROLE IF...
...you log on and wait to be told every cut, send three "just checking?" messages, and need every concept handed to you. It's also not weddings, corporate, or long-form YouTube.

THIS IS THE ROLE IF...
- You understand the algorithm and viewer psychology - why people stop, watch, and buy - and can say WHY an edit works, not just make it look nice.
- You bring your own concepts: you watch what's hitting on our socials and competitors', and pitch new ideas and hooks without being asked.
- You take ownership - you read the brief once, look at our last few winning videos, and ship something that belongs next to them, right the first time more often than not.
- You're resourceful: you find footage, music, and solutions yourself instead of getting stuck.
- Strong on pacing, captions, sound design, and light motion graphics.

NICE TO HAVE
- AI video tools (Higgsfield, Kling, Veo, Runway, ElevenLabs) - a real plus, about 25% of our work.
- Track record on performance / direct-response ads for a DTC / ecommerce brand.
- Sports, fitness, rehab, or anatomy / movement content experience.

HOW WE WORK
No micromanaging - do great work and you get freedom and a clear path to grow into a creative lead / strategist. Base salary + uncapped performance bonuses tied to what your videos deliver. Full-time, remote, long-term, with some daily overlap with EU (Amsterdam) hours.

HOW TO APPLY (READ CAREFULLY)
Apply here: ---------- - the short form takes about 5 minutes. It asks for:
1. An explainer video (MOST IMPORTANT): a short clip of YOU - on camera or voiceover - walking through one of your own edits: what you did and WHY. We hire on how you think and communicate, not just how you cut.
2. Two or three of your best short-form ads or social videos (links).
3. A brand you admire on social - why their videos work (hook, psychology, retention).
4. One video concept you'd make for a water-filled training product, and the hook you'd open with.
5. The monthly pay you're looking for (your asking rate) and the AI tools you use.

Make every video link viewable - if it's a Google Drive link, set sharing to "Anyone with the link", or we can't open it.

Shortlisted candidates get a small paid test edit before we hire. We review every application through the form above, so please apply there rather than only messaging here.
