Video Creative, Global Brand Creative
- Full-time
Company Description
To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.
Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.
Job Description
Square is looking for an editor/director/content creator to join our Global Brand Creative team. You will work on concepting, developing, editing, and sometimes shooting content for social media, web, and owned channels. You’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary team of creatives, from art directors to writers to photo creatives, to tell real human stories and help shape the perception of Square as a world-class, iconic brand.
You’re an expert in storytelling. As part of your professional experience, you’ve edited documentary stories and branded content. You can tell a story in 15 seconds. You love emotional, character-driven shorts as much as you love educational-driven (but still entertaining) tutorials. The content you create feels authentic and personal, brings to life human truths and insights, and can make people feel something. You are deeply curious about TikTok and can shoot a reel on your phone on demand. For you, it would be a dream to hop on a plane, meet incredibly interesting entrepreneurs, shoot their story, and come back with different ways to bring their story to life. You are amazing at working with people and directing them on camera, making them feel comfortable and at ease. You love concepting new ways of storytelling and have a breadth of visual references from film and art direction at your fingertips.
Ideally, you enjoy going deep on various subject-matters related to entrepreneurship, community, financial independence, cultural impact of business, and have a passion for people. You will originate new and substantive ideas that define a unique perspective to our brand storytelling — you’re aware and avoid the oversaturated, obvious, and stereotypical tropes. You should be a self-starter and an early adopter with a stable tenacity in the face of ambiguity.
