The world is undergoing a radical transformation. Work, commerce, and even education are moving online. Hotjar is at the core of that transformation. We want to make the web a better place, and believe many digital experiences – whether they are on desktop or mobile – quite frankly suck. So we are working to change that.

At Hotjar, we’re creating Product Experience Insights software for digital product teams. We help show how users behave and what they feel strongly about, so product teams can deliver real value, fast.

We believe that a company’s brand is an essential part of its identity. We want to build a brand that communicates what we stand for both our vision and our values. We’re not there yet.

You know the in’s and out’s of social and video channels. You love collaborating with designers, copywriters, marketers, operations, and pretty much anyone else at Hotjar.

You will:

• Report to the Brand Lead
• Create short and long-form videos from creative briefs or storyboard
• Collaborate closely within and beyond the brand and marketing team
• Test video assets and continuously improve their performance
• Create playbooks on video best practices tailored to Hotjar’s needs
• Rely on a strong freelancer pool to help you achieve the goals you set for yourself

• A minimum of 4 years experience designing for online brands or in agency
