Freelance Video Production Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

StackAdapt is looking for a Group Manager, Video Production to raise the bar for how our brand comes to life through video.

This is not a role focused on simply producing more content. We are looking for someone who can create exceptional, memorable work at the highest creative standard-from Super Bowl-quality brand commercials to customer stories so compelling they rival, and even outperform, our customers' own brand advertising.

You'll help define what great video looks like at StackAdapt and build a video engine that combines world-class storytelling, creative ambition, and scalable production.

Our goal is simple: make people notice StackAdapt, remember StackAdapt, and understand the incredible customers, people, technology, and ideas behind our brand.

Success isn't simply measured by how many videos we produce. It's whether the work changes how people perceive StackAdapt.

We will know this role is succeeding when StackAdapt's video is increasingly recognized for its creative quality, our commercials build meaningful brand awareness, our customer stories become content customers are proud to share themselves, and we have built a scalable system that allows us to produce more exceptional work around the world.

StackAdapt is building the future of advertising technology. This role has the opportunity to help build the story and brand that goes with it.

We want someone who looks at the best commercials, branded films, customer stories, and cultural content in the world and thinks: "We can make something even better."

• Concept, produce, and deliver Super Bowl-quality commercials and brand campaigns that can compete with the best advertising in the world.
• Partner with our Creative and Brand teams to develop breakthrough ideas that build awareness and make StackAdapt memorable.
• Translate our brand positioning into stories that are emotional, entertaining, human, and highly shareable.
• Push StackAdapt beyond traditional B2B and technology marketing conventions.

• Transform the traditional B2B case study into something people actually want to watch.
• Create customer films that are so beautifully produced and creatively compelling that they can be stronger than the customer's own brand commercials.
• Find the human stories behind the results-great people, bold ideas, breakthrough campaigns, and meaningful business impact.
• Make our customers the heroes while demonstrating the role StackAdapt played
  in their success.

• Establish a new standard for cinematography, storytelling, editing, sound, motion, and overall production quality across StackAdapt.
• Develop everything from flagship commercials and cinematic customer stories to product films, executive storytelling, social video, event content, and brand documentaries.
• Know when something requires a major production-and when a small team with a great idea can create something remarkable.
• Continually challenge the organization to ask: "Is this good enough to represent the brand we're becoming?"

• Increase both the quality and quantity of video produced across StackAdapt.
• Develop repeatable formats, production systems, templates, and workflows that allow us to move faster without lowering the creative standard.
• Build and manage a world-class network of directors, production companies, cinematographers, editors, animators, sound designers, and other creative partners.
• Find ways to turn every major production into an ecosystem of content across CTV, digital, social, events, sales, product marketing, and owned channels.

You are equal parts storyteller, producer, creative thinker, and craftsperson.

You have exceptional creative taste and know the difference between content that is technically well produced and work that people genuinely remember.

You bring:

• A portfolio of exceptional commercial, brand, documentary, or customer storytelling work.
• Experience taking productions from initial idea through concepting, pre-production, filming, post-production, and final delivery.
• The creative ambition and production expertise to deliver
  national TV/CTV-caliber advertising.
• Strong instincts for storytelling, casting, directing, cinematography, editing, music,
  sound, and pacing.
• The ability to uncover compelling human stories from customers, employees,
  and executives.
• Experience managing agencies, directors, production companies, freelancers, budgets, schedules, and complex shoots.
• The ability to move comfortably between big-budget hero productions and fast, scrappy experimentation.
• A strong understanding of how video performs across TV/CTV, YouTube, social, digital, events, and emerging channels.
• A willingness to challenge conventional B2B marketing and push for work that is more ambitious, entertaining, and culturally relevant. 
• Experience managing full-time direct reports.
