Video Producer

Your friends are seriously considering banning you from uttering the words ‘Rule of Thirds’. Your love for the moving picture knows no bounds; classics, cinema, youtube, vertical video - you love it all. And you are just as happy directing a less-than-comfortable coworker into a winning smile, as you are sat in a dark room, obsessing over that audio spike at 05:35.

If all that sounds like you, then you could be exactly what we’re looking for - a Video Producer to shoot, edit, and produce the kind of video content that is going to make Famly the most famous brand in early childhood.

And who are Famly? We’re on a mission to close the collaboration gap in early childhood. So we’re building the world’s most collaborative Early Childhood Platform - software for the adults in a young child’s life to connect, share their workload, and learn about early childhood. Basically, Famly makes life easier for educators and families so that they can get back to what matters.

As Famly’s sole Video Producer, you’ll be in charge of all the video we make across brand campaigns, educational content, product marketing, and customer work. It’s key to our content strategy here at Famly that we make genuinely fun and informative work to level up early years professionals around the world. You can see that I’m not just saying that by checking out previous documentaries we’ve made on tracking in education and the staffing crisis.

With regards to location, we’d really love you to join Famly here at our Copenhagen HQ.

And if you're not here already, perhaps you're keen to move to the second happiest country in the world? We can help you with relocating and getting a visa.

What you'll be doing:

• Film, produce, direct and edit original content that keeps every viewer engaged until the end card

• Take pride in maintaining consistency in everything we produce

• Choose and use music and audio wisely

• Support content managers to storyboard and plan shoots

• Give great direction and make sure we’ve got the shot every time

• Take business and brand strategy and turn it into tactical ideas with the team that are gonna cut through

• Bake great engagement into the edit, with a killer first five seconds and thumbnail every time

• Take charge of Youtube as a channel so that it is a great landing page for our brand

• Help scope projects, prioritise work, and make sure we’re always focusing the right energy on the right project.

• Support other departments and creatives in making quick and easy video work that scales

• Maintain and update an online (G Drive) library of videos, raw footage, VFX effects, stock footage, icons, music, etc.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have 2-4 years making great video content

• Are particularly talented in post, editing with flair and efficiency

• Can frame, shoot, and produce excellent work every time

• Have a great understanding of lighting, composition, and audio, able to advise on equipment and set up shoots

• Are a great storyteller who can put themselves in the audiences shoes

• Able to dilute strategy to ideas, working with content creatives to come up with strong video concepts

• Capable photographer, understanding aesthetics, lighting, shooting, and editing for in situ environment shots and portraits

• Capable and organised project manager who is able to prioritise work and deliver correct timeline estimates

• A friendly face behind the camera who can help guide others through the video process, even when it doesn’t come naturally to them.

• Live on youtube, and love watching video content

• Have a massive bias for action and getting stuff done

• Excited by creating lasting change in the early education sector and for young children in general

And it’d be even better if you:

• Have experience or knowledge about early childhood education and childcare

While we’d love someone who has experience in the arena doing this type of work, we appreciate that everyone brings something unique. If you don’t tick every box above, to hell with it - apply anyway. We’d still love to read your application.

And who are Famly?

You’re probably wondering at this stage, and Famly are...? Well, it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

These days, the 150 of us building Famly talk about trying to do one thing. Giving children the best possible start to life. Or rather, making it easier for the 7000 nurseries and childcare centers who use Famly every day to that, on our behalf.

We do it with the world’s first Early Childhood Platform, software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 104,000 childcare professionals in the UK, US, Germany and 15 other countries, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.

Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter.

The interview process looks like:

• Interview with a People Partner, Friedrich

• Logical test

• Interview with our Sr. Director Brand & Comms, Matt

• Small case

• Case and portfolio review and final interview with Matt and our Brand Design Lead, Julie

• References

You’ll love working in our Copenhagen Office because:

• Competitive pension, private health insurance, and paid maternity/paternity leave.

• A clear career framework and coaching to make sure you’re growing, a $1000 personal development budget and a ‘We’ll buy you any book you want’ policy.

• We’re all about hiring clever people who are good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.

• A value of ‘make your colleagues shine' is all about breaking down silos, celebrating one another, and staying connected across departments, offices, and oceans.

• We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new, challenging tasks.

• Top-notch work equipment (including noise cancelling headphones for those focus periods!).

• A lot of flexibility for you to work in the way (and place) that suits you best, while making sure we maintain a strong in-office connection a handful of days a week too.

We're looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so get your application in today by sending us:
