About the role
As our Senior Content Multimedia Manager, you’ll chart the path for our team’s video strategy. We are on a mission to develop video content that breaks the mold. We need an in-house expert who will drive the direction of our video content. This includes establishing team best practices, determining which types of content will perform best on which channels, and building out the framework of what “great” looks like. You’ll have recommendations on exactly how these videos should be created and disseminated for maximum impact.
You’ll set the bar high with a video strategy that builds a captive audience for Rippling. You’ll research and deeply understand founders in order to deliver high-impact video content that engages them, provides valuable information, and ultimately builds their trust. You’ll also create video content that reveals how Rippling can help their companies win—and have strong conviction around where to put it and how to distribute it. Your best practices and wins will become a blueprint for our team’s video strategy.
You have built video series for brands that have garnered significant viewership, engagement, and subscription base, whether on YouTube, LinkedIn, or brands’ websites. Success will be measured by views, watch time, engagement, and subscriber base.
You’re an audience-obsessed storyteller who is proactive and hungry to see what resonates with this audience, and you’re willing to break the mold. You’ll work cross functionally each day, but you’re a self-starter with the mindset of an investigative journalist—eager to uncover your own insights.
What you will do
- Deeply understand your target audience: founders. You’ll immerse yourself in this community and report back with persona insights and content recommendations.
- Devise a video strategy for the content team that showcases a unique POV.
- Create separate video content series that resonate with HR leaders and startup leaders. These series will span top-of-funnel, value-add content to videos that showcase the power of Rippling.
- Find creative ways to distribute video content and cultivate an owned audience.
- Evolve your strategy based on performance, persona insights, new Rippling products, as well as developments in the news cycle.
What you will need
- At least 4 years of experience in content marketing or video creation.
- Strong video skills. You create videos that stop the scroll.
- Insatiable curiosity and research skills. You’re going deep to understand the desires and pain points of your target audience, as well as their chosen hangouts and preferred content types.
- Ability to prioritize. You dive into data and talk to cross-functional stakeholders to prioritize your ideas by impact.
- Data-driven approach. Whether you’ve analyzed the ROI of a project or the impact of a campaign on pipeline, you can pull and make sound recommendations based on data.
- Brilliant brainstorming abilities. Not only do you understand content marketing best practices, you can also dream up witty, out-of-the-box, and even provocative ideas.
- Impeccable project management. You land the plane. You’re a natural collaborator, clear communicator, and super organized.
