Job description

Credit Acceptance is proud to be an award-winning company recognized both locally and nationally across multiple workplace categories. Our world-class culture is shaped by dedicated team members who are driven to succeed as professionals individually and together as a team. Backed by a strong product, exceptional people, and a stable financial foundation, we've grown into a leading provider of used and new car financing across the country.
Our Support teams work with multiple departments in a dynamic environment that promotes flexibility and autonomy, while offering the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of professionals. We work to comply with our company standards, exceed customer expectations, and drive our Great Place to Work culture. We deliver high-quality services aligned to business needs, driving innovative improvements that support our company strategy and modern operating principles.

The Video & AI Content Creator is a versatile, high-output creative who produces compelling motion-focused content for organic social, paid social, and performance marketing formats from platform-native short-form video and iterative creative variants to polished brand storytelling assets. This role sits at the intersection of traditional video craft, social-first storytelling, and AI-assisted production. The ideal candidate brings strong editorial instincts, a native understanding of social platforms, and a genuine passion for how emerging AI tools can accelerate and elevate creative work.


Outcomes and Activities:

Working alongside Art Directors, Copywriters and Social Media Managers, you'll

  • Concept and develop creative built for engagement, retention, and performance: short-form video content for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms - with a strong instinct for hooks, pacing, and what earns the scroll-stop
  • Concept and create longer-form storytelling content, as needed
  • Generate AI-driven imagery and video using tools such as Adobe Firefly, Freepik, Google Flow, and Higgsfield, producing original visuals and stylized assets that integrate seamlessly with live-action footage
  • Develop and document repeatable AI-assisted production workflows that increase content volume, reduce turnaround time, and support multivariate creative testing across message, format, and channel
  • Evaluate new AI tools as they emerge - piloting what's worth adopting and helping establish team best practices around responsible, brand-safe AI use
  • Stay ahead of social platform trends, algorithm shifts, and format evolutions - quickly adapting creative approaches to what's working now
  • Maintain organized project files, asset libraries, and version control to support efficient team workflows and asset reuse

Knowledge and Skills:

  • A background in long-form or broadcast video production, including end-to-end post-production, color grading, sound design, and delivery across formats, that informs strong storytelling instincts and the ability to jump in on higher-production work when needed
  • Hands-on fluency with AI image and video generation tools; able to produce work where AI plays a meaningful, intentional creative role, not just a novelty
  • Understanding of where AI accelerates production and where human craft remains irreplaceable - and the judgment to know the difference
  • Deep, intuitive grasp of what performs on social platforms - not just theoretically, but from consistent hands-on experience creating and publishing content
  • Comfort working across both long-lead traditional production cycles and fast-turn social publishing cadences simultaneously
  • Clear communicator who can articulate creative decisions to both creative and non-creative stakeholders

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Film, Media Production, Communications, or equivalent professional experience
  • 3-5 years of professional video editing and content creation experience spanning social-native and traditional advertising formats
  • Portfolio demonstrating range across all three content types: social-first video, traditional brand or advertising work, and AI-assisted production
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Premiere Pro and After Effects, as well as social-first editing tools like CapCut
  • Hands-on experience with multiple AI image or video generation platforms

Preferred:

  • Mix of in-house, agency and/or production company experience
  • Experience in financial services or other regulated industries
  • Experience supporting both B2B and B2C audiences
  • Motion design or 2D animation skills beyond standard templates

Compensation: $73,000 - $86,000 base salary + an annual bonus plan

This position is not currently open to individuals who require sponsorship now or in the future to work legally for Credit Acceptance, such as H-1b / H-4 or F-1 OPT visa holders.
