Media Team Leader

Eyeball Grabber Wanted: You’re an expert at leading teams of editors, videographers, photographers, and creators, to produce video content that captures attention, educates consumers, and drives sales. If that sounds like you – and you’re passionate about direct-response videography, you might just be the Media Team Leader AlgaeCal is looking for.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

Here’s what you’ll be up to in this busy role:

• Ensuring every video asset resonates with our audience and drives sales.
• Leading a team of 5 video editors, videographers, and media specialists who know how to create content that sells Sells SELLS!!!
• Conducting regular team reviews, offering feedback and opportunities for growth, while ensuring every video tells a compelling story and exceeds our KPI’s.
• Overseeing video and photo shoots from start to finish, managing everything from pre-production to post-production to ensure consistent branding and impactful storytelling that connects with the viewers and persuades them to take action.
• Managing location shoots, ensuring the right equipment (cameras, lighting, audio) is used to capture the perfect shot.
• Staying on top of timelines, resources, and budgets to make sure projects are delivered on time and within scope—no surprises.
• Leading the creation of testimonial videos and other content that builds customer trust and credibility.
• Design split tests.  Then analyze  performance metrics to continually improve video and graphic content, making everything more effective.
• Keeping up with industry trends and innovations, always looking for fresh ways to elevate content and capture attention.
• Above all, understanding our customers and ensuring every piece of content delivers value and keeps them coming back.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• 5+ years of experience in video editing and motion graphic animation. We’ll expect to be wowed by your portfolio. 
• 3+ years of experience in leading and managing teams—you’re not just a doer; you’re a proven leader who knows how to guide a media team to create assets that sell products or services. 
• A yoda-like knowledge of DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator)—if these tools are second nature to you, we want to talk.
• Experience working with Frame.io, Studio Binder, and Miro.

• Solid graphic design skills—you’ve got the eye and the talent to make visuals pop.
• A background in digital marketing & e-commerce. You’re not just a videographer—you’re a salesperson with a camera! You understand how video assets play a role in sales letters, funnels, and paid media ads. If you need to Google "CTR" or don’t know what a VSL is, this job isn’t for you.
• A solid grasp of budgeting and finance basics—you can keep projects on track and on budget.
• Experience in the health or supplement industry—you’ve been in this world before, and it shows on your resume.

Now, time to be honest: is this really you? If you’re nodding your head and feeling that flutter of excitement, then we can’t wait to meet you.
