Who You Are

Do you think in series rather than one-offs? Can you direct a shoot in the morning and pitch a production overhaul in the afternoon?

Justworks is seeking a Senior Video Content Producer who moves between hands-on craft and long-range planning. You will lead our most complex projects from concept to delivery, shape the content strategy they ladder up to, and build the systems that let the rest of the team move faster. Flagship work includes In Good Company, our customer spotlight series, and Big Swing, our social-first episodic series, plus product launch films, brand documentaries, and internal communications.

This is an individual contributor role. You lead through expertise and creative judgment, not management authority.

How You Will Do Your Work

As the Senior Video Content Producer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately results in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities, and personal attributes are anchored in the following:

• Strategic Thinking: You see how individual videos fit into larger narrative arcs and business goals. You build for scale, not just for the next deadline.
• Collaborative Leadership: You lead through expertise, not authority. You brief clearly, give direct feedback, and find ways to say yes without lowering the bar.
• Operational Excellence: You design processes that work for humans and scale cleanly. You spot inefficiencies and fix them unprompted, then document what you built.
• Editorial Judgment: You make creative decisions grounded in storytelling principles and platform reality. You can defend a choice and still stay open to being wrong about it.
• Craft Depth: You know production, editing, motion, and post well enough to talk execution with any freelancer. You know when to roll up your sleeves and when to delegate.
