Company Description

Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. Shopify makes commerce better for everyone with a platform and services that are engineered for reliability, while delivering a better shopping experience for consumers everywhere. Shopify powers millions of businesses in more than 175 countries and is trusted by brands such as Allbirds, Gymshark, PepsiCo, Staples, and many more.

Job Description

Shopify’s mission is to make commerce better for everyone. To deliver on that promise, the content marketing team is helping our merchants make better decisions through the content we create.

Your part in that mission will be to understand the needs of our merchants and partners and to develop engaging product-focused video content that helps them see the value of working with Shopify. You’ll conceptualize and oversee the development of video and audio content for our product brand, Shopify Plus, across multiple channels like YouTube and social platforms. You’ll work with content marketers, social media managers, product leaders, account managers, and other producers across the organization to find creative ways that highlight our products to a global B2B audience.

Responsibilities:

Creating a product-focused video production pipeline: You will be responsible for executing and evolving our video marketing strategy through identifying gaps and opportunities for our Shopify Plus product offerings. By aligning stakeholders across Shopify Plus you will contribute to global projects in various geographies, from strategy to execution. You have deep knowledge of production, and understand the needs of videos that vary in style, format, and duration, while being able to anticipate and overcome roadblocks. You will also measure your work against KPIs and report on the impact of the work you do, and use those insights, and your knowledge of industry trends and best practices to optimize continued video content performance.

Helping merchants discover more of Shopify Plus: You will work closely with our content marketing, education, community and regional teams to create video content that educates and inspires potential and existing merchants to discover more on Shopify Plus. That means mixing B2B marketing and storytelling abilities to produce video content that tells a holistic story about our products to our audience, which contributes to an environment that helps build trust, empathy and credibility with merchants.

Nurturing creative excellence in video: You will help define how the Shopify Plus brand and tone of voice are represented online and in global video content. You will provide feedback and direction on video creative for freelancers, agencies and members of your team, and encourage an environment of nimbleness, experimentation, testing and learning. You’ll also work with other creative directors, designers and producers to build creative workflows and create best-in-class video content together.

Contributing to team learning and development: You’ll oversee video content feedback, support the creation and continued evolution of video creative guidelines, and help tell the story of the impact of video content across the organization. You will collaborate with external partners, as well as other producers, content marketers, designers, and product leaders across Shopify to increase video engagement, guide and fulfill our product video content strategy, and share key learnings that help make video marketing at Shopify better.
