Over the past few decades, the internet has empowered billions of people and transformed virtually every economy on the planet. Until recently, the power to create for the web was limited to a very small fraction of people, often requiring complex code, conflicting libraries, and separate Ph.Ds in both Astrophysics and Jurisprudence.

Enter Webflow: a visual web development platform that empowers non-coders to create incredible experiences for the web.

At Webflow, our education videos are known throughout the industry for successfully breaking down complex topics and teaching them with focus, clarity, and humor. The vast majority of our educational offerings are made available for free on Webflow University: our learning resource for everything web design and web development.

We’re looking for an experienced manager to join our team to manage, coach, and level up our audio and video operations across all our educational efforts.

While this role is open to remote candidates, maximum overlap with the Pacific time zone is highly preferred. While many aspects of production can be managed remotely, this role will require regular travel to Webflow’s San Francisco headquarters to support many of our productions.

About the role 

  • Location: San Francisco HQ or US Remote
  • Full-time

As a Senior Manager, Video Production, you’ll … 

  • Manage, coach, and level up our team of video producers and editors. You’ll work directly with and help grow our world-class video team, with multiple producers and editors reporting to you (currently a team of 5!). You’ll lead the creation and implementation of new and improved production processes across the department. Our team can’t wait to work with and learn from you as it relates to pre-production, production, and post-production. Basically if it has the term “production” in it, we’re interested. Or “video” or “audio.” Or “time travel.” We like that, too.
  • Maintain the Education video production calendar. You and your team will be responsible for delivering videos on-time and at the highest quality possible. You’ll set and maintain the production calendar, then work cross-functionally to make it all happen. We’re extremely focused and hard-working, and we can’t wait to work with you to create some of the best and most impactful videos of our lives. Warning: laughter and eye rolling might ensue, especially during table reads and filming sessions.
  • Track and measure the effectiveness of educational video efforts. We want to deeply understand the impact of what we’re teaching. Whether it’s a 17-minute video teaching users about element positioning on the web or an ad that introduces people to our latest course, you’ll work closely with our Data, Marketing, Customer Support, and Product teams to define and measure the success of our video operations, then help our team optimize those efforts over time.
  • Push the boundaries of what’s possible with video education. This team enjoys a ton of experimental freedom, so we’re always looking for ways to do better, even if they’re not yet 100% proven. If it gets our users excited about learning, we’re probably going to do whatever it takes to at least try it out. We love scripted video, unscripted video, music with video, clear graphics to visually reinforce teaching, and anything that integrates storytelling into the learning process. Oh, and about a billion other things that won’t fit in this paragraph.

That said, these responsibilities are just the start! At Webflow, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly. And this isn’t just a philosophical bent: we actually give you 4 hours a week (10% of the work week) to pursue passion projects outside of your role responsibilities. 

About you 

You’ll thrive as Senior Manager, Video Production if you:

  • Are an experienced manager who excels in managing and coaching a diverse group of creatives
  • Have significant experience managing audio and video projects, including pre-production, production, and post-production
  • Love creating alignment among different functions in an organization, fostering healthy team collaboration, and building an environment of operational excellence and psychological safety
  • Are a thoughtful, direct, and kind communicator, both verbal and written — and can train and coach others to achieve at this level
  • Can effectively balance long-term strategy and short-term goal execution
  • Strongly believe our education efforts can make a continuous and dramatic difference in helping us achieve Webflow’s dual missions: to empower everyone to create for the web — and lead impactful, fulfilling lives while we do it

If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements.

About us 

At Webflow, we believe that our success will be defined not only by what we do — but also by how and why we do it. So, here is the Webflow “why” and our “how”:

Our commitments to you 

  • We’ll pay you! This is a full-time, salaried position that includes equity
  • We’ll invest in your physical and mental well-being with health, dental, and vision benefits and a monthly stipend for health and wellness expenses 
  • We’ll pay you to take a vacation … seriously. We’ll give you a $1,000 bonus for taking your first vacation with us that is more than 5 days
