Video Producer

Summary

Join PostHog, a fast-growing, fully remote company, as their inaugural video producer! Based in the UK with easy access to London, you'll be responsible for creating engaging and high-quality video content. This role offers the freedom and resources to produce unique content for a lean team, working closely with a cofounder. You will brainstorm and execute video concepts, direct and edit videos, manage external relationships, and contribute to company offsites. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in video production, a strong sense of brand, and excellent organizational skills. PostHog offers a generous compensation package, unlimited time off, private medical insurance, pension contributions, and various other benefits.

Requirements

• Expertise shooting with DSLRs/lighting/mics and editing with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, or your preferred app
• A strong sense of brand, tone of voice, and creative direction
• A love for creating unforgettable content – funny, shareable, and stuff that makes people think “That was weird, but I liked it.”
• Fluent in internet trends, and meme culture lives in your head rent-free
• A knack for anticipating production challenges and remedying them with creative solutions
• Excellent organisational skills, especially when managing multiple projects and tight editing deadlines
• Able to shoot in Cambridge at James’ house one day a week, and sometimes in a London studio. We will cover your expenses

Responsibilities

• Brainstorm and execute delightfully weird and engaging video concepts, including – but not limited to – high-quality educational content, changelog news flashes, and quirky campaigns
• Direct, shoot and edit videos that make our audience laugh, learn, and maybe cry (probably in a good way)
• Turn any location – whether an office, studio, hotel resort, or James’ living room – into a creative studio
• Occasionally showcase our enviable merch in videos that make people shout, “I need that!”
• Manage external agency and freelance relationships on an ad-hoc basis
• Bring general shenanigans and vibes as the go-to person for anything video-related, including on-the-fly ideas at offsites or other events
• Some travelling. We're fully remote, but we like to meet up for whole company offsites once a year, and small team offsites throughout the year. Our next company offsite is in Tulum, Mexico. We need someone who can attend some (not all) of these events and shoot (actually good) behind-the-scenes content ~2-3 times a year

Preferred Qualifications

• Confidence in front of the camera, behind the camera, and with a puppet on your hand (karaoke, improv sketches, and bizarre ideas welcome)
• Motion graphics skills
• Experience creating content for developer communities or technical audiences

Benefits

• Generous, transparent compensation and employee-friendly equity in PostHog
• Unlimited time off with a 25-day minimum (in 2021 the team on average took 32 days off)
• Private medical insurance, including dental and vision (US and UK only)
• Pension/401k contributions (4% matching)
• Generous parental, bereavement and child loss leave
• Training budget and free books
• $200/month budget towards co-working or café working and $300/month for team socials
• Spill mental health chat
• $100/month budget to provide support to open-source projects
• We'll be your first investor
• Regular team off-sites (we went to Iceland in March) with carbon offsetting for work travel with Project Wren
