Open positions

Junior videograaf & editor

Plnktn biedt eenmalig een getalenteerde junior videograaf de kans om fulltime mee te bouwen aan een snelgroeiend merk en het hele creatieve proces te leren: van concept en script tot shoot, edit en performance. Voor de videograaf die sneller wil groeien dan de rest.

Bij plnktn zoeken we een allround videograaf en editor die niet alleen mooie video’s wil maken, maar wil leren hoe je met je skills écht impact maakt. Wij groeien hard. In Nederland, maar sinds dit jaar ook internationaal. En storytelling via video is hierin voor ons de drijvende motor. Van short-form ads tot social content, van founder-led video’s tot product explainers en van snelle edits tot creatieve testvarianten voor Meta, TikTok en andere kanalen. Daarom zoeken we iemand met energie, creativiteit en drive. Iemand die het vak serieus neemt, het hele process van concepting tot final product en performance iteraties wilt leren en zin heeft om zichzelf te ontwikkelen tot allround creatief. Je hoeft nog niet alles te kunnen. Wel moet je hongerig zijn om beter te worden en gepassioneerd zijn voor ons product.

Waarom dit een grote kans is

Als videograaf bij plnktn werk je niet ergens achteraf aan “content”. Je zit midden in het creatieve team en bent verantwoordelijk voor funnels, campagnes, ads en formats die bijdragen aan de groei van het merk. Je leert hoe je video’s maakt die niet alleen mooi zijn, maar ook werken: aandacht pakken, vertrouwen bouwen, mensen inspireren en conversie creëren. Afhankelijk van je ervaring krijg je steeds meer verantwoordelijkheid over het hele proces: van concept en script tot shoot, edit, varianten testen en verbeteren op basis van performance. Uiteindelijk zal je ownership over je hele eigen productfunnel krijgen! Je werkt samen met Gijs, onze creative director, Victoria, onze producer, en Robin, onze art director. Je krijgt dus veel creatieve begeleiding, maar ook veel vrijheid om zelf te maken, proberen en groeien.

Wat je doet

  • Je filmt en edit organic video’s en ads van begin tot eind.
  • Je denkt mee over concepten, hooks, scripts, formats en storylines.
  • Je maakt varianten van creatives om te testen wat werkt.
  • Je werkt aan snelle social edits, maar ook aan meer hoogwaardige brand content.
  • Je leert hoe content presteert op kanalen als Meta, TikTok en Instagram.
  • Je bouwt iedere week aan je eigen skillset als videograaf, editor en performance creative.

Wie we zoeken

  • Je hebt minimaal 1 jaar ervaring als videograaf, editor of content creative. Dat mag professioneel zijn, maar ook vanuit eigen projecten, freelance werk of veel zelf maken.
  • Je bent vertrouwd met tools zoals Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro of CapCut.
  • Je hebt gevoel voor social content, ads of short-form video.
  • Je snapt wat aandacht pakt, of bent extreem gemotiveerd om dat te leren.
  • Je hebt energie, eigenaarschap en zin om veel te maken.
  • Je bent fulltime beschikbaar (op locatie) en klaar om er volledig voor te gaan.

Wat bieden wij jou?

  • Begeleiding van de topcreatives op het gebied van film, storytelling en performance. De kans om te werken bij een innovatief en duurzaam merk met grote ambities en een inspirerend team, midden in Amsterdam. Kortom, een plek waar je als videograaf enorm snel kunt groeien.
  • Veel vrijheid om ideeën tot leven te brengen. Hoe eerder je het onder de knie krijgt, hoe sneller jij je eigen projecten kan gaan runnen en uitzetten!
  • Begeleiding van de topcreatives op het gebied van film, storytelling en performance.
  • Salaris afhankelijk van ervaring.
  • Alles wat je nodig hebt om goed te werken: MacBook, ontbijt en lunch volledig verzorgd, en natuurlijk plnktn producten tot je beschikking.

Solliciteren

Heb jij de creativiteit, energie en drive om met ons mee te bouwen? Stuur ons je CV, motivatie en portfolio (een paar video’s waar je trots op bent). Ook als je niet helemaal aan alle eisen voldoet, horen we graag waarom jij bij plnktn past. Hopelijk spreken we elkaar snel.

Internship - Content Creation & Social Media

Do you want to get hands-on experience building the brand that introduces the world to the power of algae during your internship? Do you know exactly what works and what doesn't on social media, and is your phone (or camera) always nearby? Do you also want to learn everything about what goes into producing online content? From the initial idea to going live on all channels? Then this is the role for you!

What will you do?
You will support a crucial role in our rapidly growing company: the entire production process of our social media content. From wild creative idea to concept, production, post-production, and publication on all channels. Alone or in exciting collaborations with our ambassadors. You will work with us to turn the best and craziest ideas into reality and create the highest quality content.

Responsibilities

As an intern with us, you are a full-fledged team member and will be involved in all aspects of our daily work! This means a varied task package where every day is different, including the following components.

Concepting

  • You brainstorm and co-write scripts and storylines for major shoots. Those videos you see online: you'll have played a big part in them!
  • You scour social media daily for inspiration and keep us sharp on what works and what doesn't online.
  • You deliver weekly social-proof ideas and cool angles for our content on our various channels.

Pre-production

Production

  • Exciting shoot or filming day at the office or on location? You'll be there!
  • During productions, you are responsible for the smooth running of the filming day, so our videographer, photographer, and creative director can fully focus on their work!
  • This means, for example: arranging logistics and ensuring all props are present.
  • Your creativity is also indispensable on set. During shoots, you create BTS content with your phone, which you can quickly turn into a short Reel the next day.

Post-production & Go-live

  • While the editor does their work, you and our content manager will focus on the overarching content plan.
  • You ensure that all editor's content is stored in the right place and learn from the edits and iterations made.
  • Then you publish the content (stories, reels, substantive posts) and cross-post it on all channels.
  • You also get to create TikTok videos independently every week. If you want to pour all your creativity into this and involve the entire team, that's only a good thing!

What do we expect?
At plnktn, we are a close-knit and young team. We all work with great passion and believe that by working together extensively and effectively, we can truly make the world a healthier place with algae.

We are looking for a social media & content creation intern who wants to help build this dream 5 days a week at our office in Amsterdam and is ready to get the most out of this internship.

What do we offer you?

  • The opportunity to work for an innovative and sustainable brand with sky-high ambitions.
  • A creative work environment where your ideas truly matter.
