Contract-to-Hire Opportunity

About the Role

We are seeking a mid-level Production Artist (Video, Motion & Content Creation) to support a growing performance creative team focused on high-impact, short-form digital advertising across Auto Insurance, Final Expense, Medicare, and emerging verticals.

This is a contract-to-hire position based in the Las Vegas or Phoenix area. The role is primarily remote but requires in-person availability for scheduled shoot days and controlled production sessions.

You will work directly with the Creative Director to execute a multi-format creative system that blends:

• Real-world UGC-style content

• Structured scenarios

• Voiceover-led ads

• AI-enhanced visuals

• Motion graphics overlays

In addition to editing and motion graphics, this role will also support content creation and production, helping capture and assemble real-world footage used in paid media campaigns.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hybrid environment—equally comfortable editing, building motion graphics, capturing content, and running a small shoot when needed.

Light Production & Shooting

• Capture in-person footage on scheduled shoot days

• Operate iPhone or mirrorless camera setups

• Set up basic lighting and audio

• Frame and direct talent under Creative Director guidance

This role does not require full cinematography-level expertise but does require confidence running a small, efficient production setup.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in:

  • Adobe Premiere Pro

  • After Effects

• Located in the Las Vegas, NV or Phoenix, AZ area

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI creative tools:

  • Text-to-image

  • Image-to-video

  • Text-to-video workflows

• Proven track record creating short-form content that generates strong organic engagement (examples of videos with significant views, shares, or engagement are a plus)

• Familiarity with:

  • CapCut

  • DaVinci Resolve

  • Final Cut Pro

  • Cinema 4D

  • Blender

• Experience working with UGC-style content

• Basic color correction and audio cleanup skills

• Familiarity with social platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts

Compensation

• Contract-to-hire opportunity

• Target full-time salary range: $65,000–$75,000 annually, depending on experience, skill set, and portfolio

• Initial contract compensation will be discussed based on experience and engagement structure

• Opportunity for long-term growth within a rapidly expanding performance creative team

Work Environment & Expectations

• Hybrid model: primarily remote

• Required availability for in-person shoot days

• Balanced workload with occasional high-volume iteration cycles

• Fast feedback loops and performance-driven creative decisions

• Clear creative direction from leadership, with opportunity to contribute ideas

You will collaborate closely with the Creative Director, who leads concept development and strategy. This role is execution-forward but values thoughtful creative input.

What Success Looks Like

• Efficient turnaround of multi-version ad creative

• Clean, engaging motion graphics that elevate performance

• High-quality content capture during shoot days

• Smooth execution of small in-person shoots

• Strong collaboration and responsiveness during iteration cycles

• Growth into a long-term creative contributor within the team
