About The Job
We’re looking for an energetic, creative and focused AI Native Video Content Lead to build and run our first in-house video pod. You’ll lead a small team (an on-camera host and script writer, plus a video producer, backed by outside editors) out of a dedicated space in our Tulsa office.
The pod’s job is to build everything a category needs on video: paid ad creative, organic social content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Reddit, and lifecycle content for email, retargeting and onsite journeys. Paid and lifecycle content is what makes the numbers work, so you need to be as comfortable with ad creative and conversion as you are with views and engagement.
This is a pilot. We’re starting with one pod and plan to scale the model across more categories once it works. The right person brings viral ideas, knows the formats cold, can jump in and edit when needed, and makes sure every video has a home and a hook before anyone hits record. If you want to grow into leading a larger video team, this is the ground floor.
What You’ll Do

- Track performance weekly across organic, paid and lifecycle; cut what isn’t working and double down on what is
- Document the pod’s playbook (formats, workflows, briefs, QA) so it can be copied into new categories
- Collaborate with editorial, SEO, PR, paid media and lifecycle teams
- About 3 years of experience creating or leading social video for a brand, creator, publisher or agency
- A portfolio of videos you’ve led, with the performance numbers to back them up
- Experience making paid social ad creative (Meta, YouTube, TikTok) and testing variants against performance metrics
- Understanding of how video supports lifecycle marketing (email, retargeting, onboarding)

- Deep knowledge of short-form, long-form and paid video formats
- Video editing proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or similar)
- Experience directing or giving feedback to other creatives or freelancers
- AI native: uses AI tools every day for research, ideation, scripting and editing
