To deliver on this mission, our global team is composed of team members with life experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives that mirror our developers and customers around the world. At AppLovin, we are intentional about the team and culture we are building, seeking candidates who are outstanding in their own right and also demonstrate their support of others.
About the role
AppLovin is one of the largest and fastest-growing ad platforms in the world. The brands growing on it span from the majority of major mobile game studios, to ecommerce brands that went from $4M to $80M in revenue in the span of a year - with most of their media spend on AppLovin.
We want to tell those stories, and others like them: a single parent whose side-hustle ecommerce business is finally taking off, a pet brand with a quirky founder who found their niche.
You'll work within the growth marketing team to identify which client stories are worth telling, build the narrative, plan and execute the shoot (this role involves real travel), and edit the footage into something human, artful, and authentic. You’ll also partner closely with the Design team to translate our brand identity and values into a distinctive visual language across your productions, helping shape the art direction, look and feel, and overall visual execution of the final work.
What you'll do
• Find the story and bring it to life. Research clients, brands, and results — not just the performance numbers, but whether there's something worth watching
• Make real people compelling on camera. Plan and conduct (or direct) interviews that feel like conversations, not Q&As, and find the moment inside a result or a founder's story that builds an emotional connection.
• Own production end to end — pre-production, shoot, edit, delivery. Run the shoot yourself on smaller projects; brief and direct a production crew when the scale calls for it.
• Build the system, not just the videos. Create a repeatable production cadence that keeps client stories moving from intake to final cut without the process becoming the bottleneck.
What we're looking for
• You think in stories, not just shots. Your first instinct is the narrative - you know what makes a person or brand’s story worth telling and what people will actually want to watch.
• The edit is where you do your best work. You know how to take raw footage and build a story - pacing, structure, music, b-roll what gets cut.
• You have a high bar and strong point of view on what good looks like. You can watch a video and say exactly why it works or doesn't - and you apply that standard to your own work.
• You don’t let a shoot that’s going sideways stay bad. You instinctively read a room and adjust your approach mid-shoot if an interview isn't
