Video Strategist (Contract)

We're building Airtable's video presence from scratch, starting with short-form. The target: 60 short-form videos published by the end of April across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and IG Reels. You'll own video strategy and production — concepting series, directing shoots, and shipping 5+ videos per week. This isn't a "build the strategy, then execute" role. You'll be shipping in your first week, and you'll bring on a contract editor (or editors) to help you hit volume targets. Once we prove out short-form, you'll build out our long-form YouTube presence as well.

You're responsible for great content, not for creating it all yourself. We have internal subject matter experts across PMM and Education who will serve as on-screen talent — your job is to concept, direct, and produce content that features them. You can be on-screen yourself where it makes sense, but the model is you running the production machine, not being the sole face of it.

We need someone resourceful who cares about performance. You can shoot on an iPhone or camera, turn around edits fast, and understand what works on short-form platforms without overthinking it. You'll travel to key events and to our offices for shoots. Volume matters, but so does performance, we're not just filling a feed, we're building an audience.

Short-Form Video (Primary Focus)

• Own short-form strategy and execution across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, IG Reels, and LinkedIn
• Ship 5+ videos per week showing Airtable's AI capabilities through social-first, UGC-style content

Long-Form Video (Phase 2)

• Once short-form rhythm is established, develop YouTube channel strategy
• Work with Education team to refactor existing content for YouTube

Production & Collaboration

Month 2: Accelerate (20-25 videos)

Month 3: Scale (20-25 videos)

• 60 video target hit; clear data on what formats resonate
• YouTube long-form strategy developed; proposal for next phase

• Proven track record shipping high-volume short-form content — show us accounts you've built
• Obsession with performance — you watch the metrics, learn what drives engagement, and iterate fast
• Strong instincts for what makes people stop scrolling
• Experience directing non-professional talent and managing editors or small teams
• Comfort working fast and learning from what performs
• Bonus: Familiarity with B2B tech, no-code tools, or the builder/creator ecosystem
