Job description

Salary: USD 1000 - 1500

You’ll be responsible for creating videos for our client's channels.

The videos will be a mix of ‘How to’ tutorials about our plugins, how to achieve a certain thing with our product and general videos about WordPress or other popular plugins. They will consist of you being on camera, images, and screencasts with voiceover.

You’ll need experience of both hands-on production and editing, taking care of all stages of the video production process. Depending on your skills and experience, you may either implement a video strategy and SEO goals provided by our Head of Content, or you may take the lead on research and strategy yourself.

The role will be flexible and varied, working across multiple video platforms. You’ll need to be motivated to produce high quality content at a high volume with minimal supervision.

Everything you do will be focused on sales and conversions. You will follow a data-driven video creation cycle, in which you seek evidence to inform planning; implement the videos; and then seek further data to evaluate the impact and make ongoing improvements.

This is a permanent, full-time position working remotely from your own location - although we can consider part-time hours if needed. Depending on your skills and experience, we are offering a flexible salary range.

Things you’ll be doing

Depending on your skills and experience, you will be doing some or all of the following activities:

Creating a video content calendar
Producing and editing engaging educational, general, and brand video content.
Working with customers to obtain video testimonials.
Creating supporting images to illustrate videos, such as opening and closing slides.
Create featured images for videos or work with our designer.
Optional - Producing other types of video such as video tutorials and animated gifs showcasing our plugins.
Optional - SEO keyword research and analytics to identify ideas for new videos.
Optional - Analyzing the impact of existing videos and looking for new opportunities.
Optional - Creating your own featured images for the videos.
