About Post IQ

Post IQ turns product catalogs into social videos. We’re an e-commerce app that lets merchants create professional video content from their existing product data—no video skills required. Select a product, pick a style, get a branded video ready for TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook. We integrate with Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, and other major e-commerce platforms.

Post IQ is built by the teams behind Worbler.ai and SKU IQ, an established inventory and data platform used by thousands of small and medium-sized merchants. That experience gives us a deep understanding of how SMB retailers operate—and what they actually need from tools like this.

We're in the early stage (validating product-market fit), small team, and building the tool that makes social video accessible to every small business merchant. Our merchants are the independent store owners, the Etsy-to-Shopify graduates, the small retailers who know they need video content but can’t afford a creative team.


The Role

We're hiring a part-time Creative Producer to own our video production pipeline. You'll set the creative direction for what we build, create briefs that video editors execute against, work hands-on in DaVinci Resolve when needed, and coordinate with our ML engineering team to get new content live in production. You'll track it all in production calendars and spreadsheets that keep the whole operation moving.

This role exists because our video catalog is the product. Every merchant's experience starts with choosing a video style. The quality, variety, and trend-relevance of what we offer directly determines whether merchants publish videos or churn. You're the person who makes that catalog great.

This is a human-powered role. In a market full of AI video generated out of whole cloth, ours are different: they're designed by humans, with real artistic judgment, and they're modifiable because of it. AI handles the boring parts — generation, rendering, scaling — but the creative decisions are yours.


What You'll Do

  • Set creative direction. Decide what video styles we build next based on social platform trends, merchant categories, and performance data. You receive strategic input from founders and marketing, then turn it into a production plan.

  • Create and execute creative briefs. Write campaign briefs for TikTok product showcases, Instagram Reels trends, and Facebook video ads that video editors can execute with minimal back-and-forth.

  • Build and tweak video content yourself. Open Resolve and make it happen.

  • Coordinate across creative and technical. Work with video editors on creative execution and with the ML engineering team on technical integration, rendering, and AI content generation.

  • Use AI where it helps. You're comfortable with AI tools for drafting, analysis, or asset generation — whatever speeds up the tedious parts. But you exercise creative judgment about what ships.

  • Track and organize everything. Manage the production calendar, catalog inventory, status tracking, and campaign planning.

  • Stay ahead of what's working. Monitor TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for what's driving engagement in product-focused content. Translate "this is trending" into "here's how we build it for our merchants."

  • Think like a small business owner. Our merchants don't have marketing departments. Every video style you produce needs to work for someone who's running their store, shipping orders, and managing inventory - all before they think about social media.


What You'll Own

  • Build a trend radar focused on what actually converts—not just what’s viral—across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

  • Break down high-performing content into repeatable patterns (hooks, audio, pacing, layout) and map them to merchant categories

  • Turn those insights into production-ready templates through high-fidelity creative briefs (motion, typography, structure, UX)

  • Ensure every template is platform-native (safe zones, pacing, format) so editors and AI systems can execute without guesswork

  • Analyze real usage data—what merchants actually publish and succeed with—and feed those insights back into what we build next

  • Clear internal understanding of what video formats drive merchant adoption and engagement, backed by usage data


What Success Looks Like (6 Months)

  • Production cadence is predictable and sustainable - new video styles ship weekly

  • Catalog covers the top e-commerce merchant categories and social platforms

  • Production pipeline is documented - another producer could follow your process

  • Production quality is visibly better than AI-generated-from-scratch alternatives

  • You can point to specific video styles that drove merchant engagement and retention

  • Clear internal understanding of what video formats drive merchant adoption and engagement, backed by usage data


Required Qualifications

Experience:

  • Hands-on social media video production: you've made product videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or similar platforms

  • Small business or product-focused retail advertising: you understand selling physical products to consumers on social media, and you understand the constraints small businesses operate under

  • DaVinci Resolve proficiency: you can open a project, build a composition, and export it

  • Production management: you've run creative pipelines, tracked deliverables, and kept multiple workstreams on schedule

Skills:

  • Native on TikTok and DaVinci Resolve

  • Comfortable with AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Nano Banana, etc.

  • Strong creative brief writing: can articulate a campaign concept clearly enough for editors to execute without hand-holding

  • Production tracking, catalog management, campaign planning

  • Visual taste for product advertising (not just entertainment or lifestyle content)

  • Comfortable working with engineers on technical constraints

Traits:

  • Organized to a fault. Production tracking is second nature.

  • Creative and technical. You brainstorm a campaign concept and then build the first version yourself.

  • AI-comfortable. Not threatened by AI tools, not deferential to them either. You use them when they're useful and trust your own judgment over their output.

  • Self-directed. Early-stage means you define the process, not follow an existing one.

  • Empathetic toward small businesses. You get that a $30/month merchant isn't Nike - their content needs are different and you design for that reality.

Deal-breakers:

  • Pure management background without hands-on production work

  • Entertainment/lifestyle video focus without product or retail advertising experience

  • Cannot work directly in DaVinci Resolve

  • Unwilling to use AI tools in any part of your workflow

  • Only interested in working with enterprise or large brand clients


Preferred Qualifications

  • E-commerce product photography or videography background

  • Experience producing video content at scale using systematized workflows

  • Understanding of video rendering pipelines (FFmpeg, scripted rendering, automation)

  • TikTok Shop or social commerce experience

  • Experience working with ML/AI engineering teams on content generation systems

  • Direct experience marketing or advertising for small and medium-sized businesses

  • Motion graphics or motion design skills


Details

Title: Creative Producer

Location: Remote, near-shore US (EST-PST timezone compatible)

Core hours: 11am-4pm EST overlap required. Flexibility outside core hours.

Type: Part-time (~20 hours/week)

Compensation: $50-65/hour ($4,000-$5,600/month)


Why This Role

  • Creative ownership. You define what our video catalog looks like. Every merchant sees your work.

  • Human craft at scale. In a market flooded with AI-generated video, our templates stand out because they're designed by hand. You set the creative standard that makes Post IQ different.

  • Small team impact. Direct line between your creative decisions and merchant success. No layers between you and the product.

  • SMB mission. Help the merchants who need video most but can afford it least. Your work levels the playing field.

  • Market timing. E-commerce social video is exploding. You'll be building the catalog that serves it.


How We Work

Our team is small but focused. We're fully remote across US-compatible timezones, so communication is async-first with syncs as needed.

Tools: Notion for docs, specs, and project tracking, Slack for communication, DaVinci Resolve for video production. AI tools are part of the toolkit where they help.

Expectations: We expect you to be proactive. Surface problems early, communicate status without being asked, and drive the production pipeline rather than waiting for direction. You'll define the process and own it.

Pace: Early stage means things move fast. Priorities shift based on merchant feedback and platform trends. You'll need to be comfortable adapting when the data says something different than the plan.
