Compensation is commensurate with experience.
The ideal candidate is:

-
Well-versed in existing and emerging social media platforms, as well as how people consume digital content.
-
A voracious consumer of pop culture and current affairs.

-
Experienced, willing, and able to handle a fast-paced, high-stakes environment with quick turnaround times.
-
A scrappy and resourceful problem solver who proactively seeks out solutions and workarounds.
-
A self-starter who can meet deadlines unsupervised. All work is remote.
-
Able to receive and incorporate constructive feedback. In fact, you might even welcome it!
-
Kind, empathetic, enthusiastic, positive, and intellectually curious.
-
Collaborative. Enjoys playing nicely with others.
-
Either 4-5 years experience in TV, entertainment, video, agency, or digital creative roles OR 1 political election cycle. Advocacy and nonprofit experience are also highly desirable.
-
Serious script and copywriting chops. You know how to develop several concepts against a creative brief and turn them into scripts.
-
Significant experience working with short-form content, specifically: 15s, 30s, and 1:00 paid digital and tv ads.
-
The ability to take complicated subjects and distill them down into simple, bite-sized, digestible concepts.
-
A nimble and open-minded approach. You enjoy trying different approaches and are comfortable incorporating data and analytics insights into creative refreshes where applicable.
-
Strong QA skills and attention to detail.
Skills and Qualifications:
Big plus if you have:
-
Hard content production skills (editing, motion graphics, etc).
-
A unique lived experience or background that you can infuse into your work where applicable.
-
Advanced reading and writing skills in a second language.
Submissions:
Please email a CV, cover letter, and links to work samples to jobs@thehooligansagency.com. Samples should consist of your scripts along with the final produced videos.
Don’t limit your “professional” content samples to things you THINK we want to see. Show us your range. Give us a sense of your creative scope, imagination, and vision. This can literally be anything; a previous work assignment that never saw the light of day, something you created on spec, a purely experimental passion project with no professional utility that you LOVE. Show us WHO YOU ARE.
