Video Content Creator Lead

About the role

You've been making videos since before anyone paid you to. You have creators you'd binge on a Saturday, you can tell in two seconds why a hook works, and you've re-cut something five times because the pacing was off by half a beat.

Sound like you? We want to give that person a studio, a team and a steady stream of things worth filming.

ConsumerAffairs is launching its first in-house video pod out of a dedicated space in our Tulsa office, and we're looking for the person to lead it. You'll run a small team (an on-camera host and script writer, a video producer and a bench of outside editors) and make the videos that help millions of people make big, often emotional buying decisions: ads, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Reddit content, plus video for email and our site.

This is a pilot. If the first pod works, we copy it across more categories, and you're the one who grows into leading the bigger team.

Your current title doesn't need to say "video." Some of the people we're most excited to meet are UGC creators, film grads, social or comms people whose best work happens to be on video, and people who've built an audience on their own channel. If you can show us videos that hold attention and tell us why they worked, we want to talk.

What you'll do

• Make videos people actually finish watching, from concept and script through shoot and edit, across short-form, long-form and paid
• Own the content calendar and keep the pod shipping every week
• Turn ideas into ad creative: test hooks, variants and lengths with the paid media team, then keep what wins
• Create video for email, retargeting and onsite journeys with the lifecycle team
• Bring a constant stream of ideas from what's working on YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Reels and Reddit, and make sure every video has a home and a hook before anyone hits record
• Coach the host/script writer and producer in person; review scripts, storyboards and cuts
• Jump into the edit yourself, from quick cut-downs to final polish
• Set up the Tulsa studio with the producer and manage our outside editors
• Check the numbers every week and own them. Cut what isn't working, double down on what is
• Write down the playbook (formats, workflows, briefs, QA) so the pod can be copied into new categories
• Work alongside editorial, SEO, PR, paid media and lifecycle

You might be the one if

• You make video because you love it, on the clock and off. A personal channel, short films, UGC for brands and passion projects all count
• You have a reel or portfolio of work you led, and you know how each piece performed
• You can explain why a video took off (hook, retention, length, platform) and what you'd change on one that flopped
• You treat views, watch time, click-through and conversions as your scoreboard, not someone else's job
• You're always getting better: new formats, new techniques, new tools, and a clear opinion on what you'd improve in your own last project
• You've made paid social or UGC-style ad creative and tested it against real results
• You edit comfortably in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or similar
• You've directed or given feedback to other creatives, freelancers or a small crew, or you're ready to
• You use AI every day to move faster on research, ideation, scripting and editing, and your finished work still looks crafted and human

Bonus points

• UGC or creator-style ad work for brands
• Comfortable on camera and open to hosting
• Consumer, product review, or how-to content

Why this role

• Ground floor. You're building the first pod and the playbook every consumer catagory runs on
• A real studio and a real team. Dedicated space in Tulsa, a producer and host/writer, and outside editors to scale output
• Your work moves the business. Paid and lifecycle video ties directly to revenue, so great creative gets noticed fast
