Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, and the first prototype was built over a weekend with the other co-founders. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We’re building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
We’re hiring a performance-focused video editor to help scale paid social growth through speed, testing, and sharp execution. This role sits at the engine room of performance marketing—where creative decisions directly impact learning, revenue, and scale.
This is not a concepting or brand film role. Instead, you will take existing video assets and rapidly edit, reformat, and recombine them into high-volume hook and variation sets for testing across paid social platforms. This role is about execution, velocity, and learning through testing. It isn’t about owning concepts, directing shoots, or polishing a single hero asset.
If you’re motivated by seeing direct impact, developing strong performance instincts, and mastering short-form paid social at scale, this role offers a steep and valuable learning curve.
This role will be supporting the Australia and New Zealand markets.
