• Shoot video content on-site in New York as needed, including founder-led content, talking-head videos, patient or clinician-style storytelling, lifestyle footage, and other ad concepts.
• Edit raw footage into polished, performance-oriented ads with strong pacing, captions, hooks, transitions, and platform-appropriate formatting.
• Collaborate directly with the founder to execute branding vision.
• Adapt content into multiple variations for testing, including different hooks, cuts, captions, lengths, and formats.
• Ensure final content feels warm, trustworthy, modern, and aligned with the tone of a mental healthcare brand.
• Stay aware of trends in short-form video, creator-led ads, and direct-response social content.

Qualifications

• Based in New York City or able to travel to NYC for shoots.
• Strong shooting and editing skills, with a portfolio or examples of short-form video content.
• Comfortable filming with DSLR/mirrorless cameras, iPhone, lighting, audio equipment, or a lean creator-style production setup.
• Proficiency in editing tools such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or similar.
• Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, framing, and what performs well in social-first video.
• Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and turn around edits quickly.
• Comfortable taking feedback and producing multiple versions of the same concept.
• No prior healthcare or mental healthcare experience required.

Nice to Have

• Experience creating ads or organic content for consumer brands, startups, wellness brands, healthcare-adjacent companies, or creator-led campaigns.
• Experience editing paid social ads with direct-response hooks and clear calls to action.
• Experience working at a venture-backed startup.

The interview process will consist of

• A portfolio review (around 1 day)
• If we like the portfolio, we’ll go to a 15-minute online screening
• If we like you online, we’ll invite you for coffee in Brooklyn.
• If we like you in person, we’ll give you an initial task: editing a basic ad (We’ll pay you for the time you spend on this)
• If we like the ad, we’ll extend an initial offer.

Can’t wait to meet you ;)
