About Atticus

At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it. 

Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In just three years, we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we’ve gotten thousands of people access to over $2B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.

We've helped more than 20,000 people in need (see our 6,000+ five-star reviews) and raised more than $50 million from top VC firms like Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures. (We just closed our Series B round in May 2023, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) We're small but moving fast — our team grew from 32 to 60 last year and we expect to double in size again in 2023.

The Job

Identifying the people who need Atticus, educating them on our services, and getting them the help they need is one of the hardest and most rewarding things we do. Because the legal marketing space is highly competitive and heavily regulated, we aim to find innovative ways to reach our clients during the biggest crises of their lives while building trust with our clients. As part of Atticus’ creative marketing team, you’ll be responsible for helping our clients understand who we are, what we do and how we can help them through best-in-class video content.

As the Motion Graphic editor, you’ll work with the Head of Creative to execute high-performing ads to help scale our current post-production operation. In time, you will help bring to life your own creative vision and help establish a category-defining brand. You will be responsible for:

  • Transforming a brief and raw footage into engaging and innovative videos for all social platforms
  • Owning the post-production pipeline from file organization to color correction to animating graphics and final edits
  • Partnering with Product and Growth Marketing to work to improve our ultimate accountability metric, CAC, and allow us to scale our content-led acquisition channels

Qualifications

  • You’re an expert editor who has worked as a full-time motion graphics editor or video editor at a growing startup or top agency
  • You’re up-to-date on social trends, and love creating ads on Tiktok, Instagram and facebook from start to finish
  • You understand how to use videos to help simplify confusing and complex messaging 
  • You have excellent taste, and are excited to collaborate with our growing (and incredibly talented) marketing team

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d love to meet you.

Salary and Benefits

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

  • Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered
  • 15 vacation days & ~19 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)
  • Free membership to OneMedical
  • $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work
  • Student loan repayment assistance, 401(k), and optional HSA
  • Free snacks, drinks, weekly lunches, and regular team dinners/events/retreats
  • Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues 

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $80,000 and $110,000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate’s experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.

Location

Today, about half our team are in Los Angeles or Phoenix (where we have offices) We also have a large team in New York who meet as needed. The rest of the company is fully remote and spread across the U.S. There are two options for this job:

  1. Live in Los Angeles, work a few days a week (or more) out of our beautiful office in the Arts District.
  2. Live wherever, work remotely, and travel to LA or NYC (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues —somewhere between monthly and quarterly.

In short: You can do this job well remotely, and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. But we care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
