Senior Performance Video Creator

For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.

Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button

About the Marketing team

At Riverside, Marketing is all about getting the right message to the right people. We create campaigns that grab attention, tell great stories, and drive real growth, whether it’s for SMBs, mid-market, or enterprise customers. We work closely with other teams to make sure our brand stands out and our product reaches the people who need it most. If you love mixing creativity with strategy and making an impact, you’ll fit right in.

About this role:

We’re looking for a Senior Performance Video Creator to join our Creative Team: part storyteller, part strategist, part creative scientist. You’ll make scroll-stopping ads for Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn, blending UGC, sharp ideas, and performance know-how. But we’re not just after killer edits, we want someone obsessed with what works.

In this role, you won’t just create, you’ll experiment. Hypothesize, test, analyze, tweak, repeat. You should get a thrill from cracking the code on creative that converts. If you love crafting videos and digging into the data to make the next one even better, keep reading.

What you'll own:

1. Concept & Strategy

Own an ongoing, insight-driven creative process. You’ll identify new angles, hooks, and messaging frameworks that speak directly to audience needs and motivations. You’ll actively dive into funnel stages, customer journeys, and campaign KPIs to shape creative concepts that convert. You’ll continuously refine ideas based on feedback, research, and real-time data.

2. Creative Ownership

You’ll lead execution as a hands-on solo creator. You’ll write scripts, storyboard, direct, shoot (when needed), edit, and animate performance video content optimized for digital channels. Whether it’s turning raw UGC into high-converting ads or building out motion graphics from scratch, you’ll bring ideas to life independently and efficiently. You know how to move fast without sacrificing quality, and you’re comfortable taking full responsibility for the vision, execution, and delivery of every asset.

3. UGC & Performance-Driven Content

Develop, source, and transform user-generated content into high-performing creative assets tailored for performance marketing. You’ll actively work with UGC creators, briefing them and providing clear feedback to ensure content aligns with campaign goals and platform best practices. When scale demands it, you’ll identify, onboard, and manage external creators or agencies, maintaining quality control and creative vision throughout.

Requirements

Proven Track Record in Performance Creative: You bring 5+ years of experience crafting high-performing video content that drives measurable results across paid social and digital platforms.

Hands-On Video Creator with AI Curiosity: You’re a doer: comfortable with writing, shooting, directing and editing your own work. You’ve experimented with AI-powered video tools and stay on top of emerging tech to push creative boundaries.

Obsessed with Testing and Learning: You thrive in a feedback loop. You’re constantly experimenting, iterating, and optimizing based on performance data, not afraid to scrap what doesn’t work to find what does.

Positive, Collaborative, and Proactive: You bring energy, clarity, and flexibility to the table. You’re a team player who thrives in cross-functional environments and lifts others up while driving your own projects forward.

Creative by Instinct: You have strong creative instincts and an eye for what resonates. You don’t just follow trends, you challenge them, offering fresh ideas grounded in audience insight and strategic intent.
