• Concept, shoot, produce, and edit paid social video ads from start to finish.
• Develop strong hooks, clear narratives, and calls to action that help users quickly understand the value of Stash.
• Create multiple versions of each concept, testing hooks, lengths, formats, and visual approaches.
• Adapt and resize videos for different placements, aspect ratios, and platform specs.

• Shoot and direct original footage that includes UGC-style videos, scripted ads, product explainers, testimonials, founder content and more.
• Manage pre-production, including scripting, shot lists, storyboards, talent coordination, locations, props, and overall planning.
• Capture footage that feels native to each platform while staying true to the Stash brand.
• Manage production timelines and budgets.

• Edit polished, platform-native ads with a strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and performance.
• Create simple motion graphics and product visuals that make financial concepts easy to understand.
• Use performance data and creative insights to iterate on what's working and improve future ads.
• Maintain a steady cadence of new concepts and variations to support creative testing.
• Organize and maintain video files, project files, templates, and asset libraries for the marketing team.

• Partner with Marketing, Growth, Social, Product Marketing, and Compliance teams to align creative with campaign goals and brand standards.

• Support the broader creative team on ad hoc video and motion needs across marketing channels as needed.

• Bring genuine curiosity for innovation and a drive to experiment with emerging AI tools, workflows, and creative techniques.
• Draw on real, hands-on experience applying AI in production and practice
• Know when and where to use AI effectively, applying it to work faster and smarter rather than using it for the sake of using it. Have a perspective on where AI helps and where it doesn't.

What we're looking for: 

• 5+ years of experience producing and editing video content for paid social.
• A portfolio or reel that demonstrates strong social-first video work, including paid social ads, UGC-style content, or performance creative.

• An experimental mindset and experience with AI tools that help the production process.
• Comfortable shooting original video content and working across every phase of a production.
• Strong understanding of paid social platforms and platform-specific best practices.
• Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, visual hierarchy, and what makes people stop scrolling.
• Ability to make complex or technical topics feel simple, clear, and engaging.
• A collaborative mindset and openness to feedback.

Gold Stars: 

• Experience creating video ads for fintech, consumer finance, or another regulated industry.
• Experience with UGC-style ads, creator-led content, testimonials, or scripted performance ads.
