Kikoff: The Fintech Powering Financial Security at Scale
Kikoff is a profitable, pre-IPO fintech company on a mission to empower everyone to achieve financial security. With record revenue growth in 2025 and a unicorn valuation, we've built a suite of products that help millions of people build credit, access liquidity, and save money.
We're scaling fast. Join us if you want to build something meaningful and help millions of people move forward financially.
Why Kikoff:
This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.
The gist:
We’re looking for a highly efficient Junior Video Creative to join Kikoff’s growing Creative team. Ideally, you’re a post-production ace who can pump out video edits at lightning speed, but you also love to learn while doing—and thrive wearing many creative hats. In addition to owning the video editing tasks (primarily working from paper edits to churn out high-performance video ads), you’ll also work on productions, help concept paid social content, and aid in day-to-day creative project management tasks.
Our team is hungry, and scaling quickly. We’re a data-driven company, which means performance matters just as much as aesthetics. If you’re looking to play a key role in building out our ground-floor creative machine—and learn more in a year than most do in five—you’ve come to the right place.
What you’ll do:
Edit high-performance video creative for social media and paid digital channels, with a strong focus on UGC and influencer-style content
Work closely with our in-house copy team, targeting performance metrics
Thoughtfully A/B test video concepts based on audience insights and historical performance data
Incorporate learnings from tests and performance results into future iterations
Ensure Kikoff brand stays consistent through projects
Elevate creative execution by making thoughtful decisions that improve performance
Contribute to brainstorming sessions across many projects
Transcribe content, caption videos, revise projects based on rounds of review, deliver in different orientations, and backup project files
What we’re looking for:
Driven and Ambitious. You have the drive to move performance metrics, increase validity of asset, and communicate creative thoughts
Technical Ability. Proficient in Premiere Pro and familiarity with the entire Adobe Creative Suite
Strategic. You understand how video creative fits into testing strategies and business objectives
Analytical. You’re not afraid to dive into the data (or learn how to interpret it!), look at previous insights, and make your own choices to optimize performance of the video creative you craft
Collaborative. You’ll work side-by-side with the creative team & user-acquisition managers.
Articulate. You can express the intentions behind your choices; leveraging data, hypotheses, and experience as reasoning for the ideas you’re championing
Bonuses
Video Production: A basic understanding of lighting subjects, and mirrorless video capturing
Experience on a film set
Proficiency in After Effects or other motion design/GFX/animation platforms
Davinci Resolve and/or Lumetri Color
