Job Description
Who we are:
PikPok is a global video game studio with more than 25 years of experience, with offices in New Zealand and Colombia. In New Zealand, we operate as a medium-sized company, while the current structure in Colombia is that of a small business. Our team is multicultural, making English the primary working language.
We have a portfolio that spans games at various stages of the product lifecycle, supported by diverse revenue models, with a presence on mobile, PC, consoles, and virtual reality platforms. Today, we distribute our titles in more than 30 countries, connecting with players around the world.
About the role:
We are looking for a Experienced Video Producer who understands project contexts, takes an active role in planning and executing product goals and features, is self-managed, and applies critical thinking to resolve roadblocks or issues. We want someone with a mature and professional attitude who knows how to work in a team.
We encourage you to apply even if you are hesitant about meeting every single requirement. Our ideal candidate is not a pre-existing perfect fit but an individual who is curious and eager to learn, with the core skills and knowledge to succeed in this role. We believe that valuable skills are gained from a variety of experiences, including those from non-traditional paths or periods of caregiving. Our commitment to flexible work arrangements and a supportive environment reflects our belief that a rewarding career should integrate with a full life. If this role excites you and you’re passionate about growing with us, we strongly encourage your application.
The Experienced Video Producer’s responsibilities include:
• Produce and edit high-quality gameplay and marketing videos, turning briefs and raw materials into polished deliverables that meet creative and technical standards.
• Plan and capture accurate, clean gameplay footage (and supporting assets) using studio-approved tools, ensuring coverage, readability, and editorial usability.
• Manage versioning and exports across formats and aspect ratios (e.g., 16:9, 9:16, 1:1), validating specs and platform requirements before delivery.
• Run review cycles efficiently by submitting versions through defined workflows, consolidating feedback, applying revisions, and communicating risks or trade-offs early.
• Coordinate requirements with cross-functional stakeholders (publishing, creative, product, UA partners) to align scope, timing, and dependencies for each deliverable.
• Improve production reliability by maintaining organized project files, templates, and documentation, and supporting best practices across the team when needed.
The Experienced Video Producer’s required knowledge and experience should include:
• Proven experience producing and delivering marketing or publishing video content in a deadline-driven environment (games or live digital products preferred).
• Strong editing fundamentals: pacing, story structure, clarity, and audio standards (levels, sync, basic sound design).
• Hands-on experience capturing gameplay and working with game builds and/or in-engine capture tools (Unity experience is a plus).
• Confidence working with common post-production tools (e.g., Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve) and managing files/codecs reliably.
• Ability to follow brand guidelines and ensure accurate gameplay representation (no misleading visuals or claims).
• At least a B2+ English proficiency level (assessed) and a proven ability to work cross-functionally through reviews, documentation, and iterations.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Media, Arts, or Design studies (related creative fields preferred).
• 5 + years of proven experience in a studio environment, specializing in games, film, television, or other relevant creative industries.
Other desirable knowledge
• Motion graphics capability for supers, UI callouts, and light animation to improve clarity and polish.
• Experience producing multi-platform deliverables (storefront videos, social short-form, feature packs) with spec awareness.
• Familiarity with localization workflows and adapting video safely across languages and regions.
• Basic understanding of app-store creative best practices (clarity-first messaging for store videos and promos).
• Experience maintaining templates/pipelines or supporting juniors with capture/edit best practices.
- Hybrid work. PikPok has a flexible approach to splitting your time between working in the office and working from home.
- Health insurance.
- One-time home buyer bonus.
- Staff referral recruitment bonus.
- Partial rebate on mobile phone and tablet upgrades.
- Monthly self-directed Lab Days, annual game jams, and a variety of training and learning opportunities.
