Responsibilities

• The creative vision on your projects, start to finish, from first pitch through final delivery, across video, social, branded content, and integrated campaigns.
• Finding the Memory Hook. You take a client's business problem in a moment of change and turn it into one sharp, culture-led idea worth remembering.
• Selling that idea in the room, owning client presentations, and keeping the heart of it intact through every round of notes.
• Leading a Tiger Team of senior producers, directors, editors, writers, and designers in real time, no handoffs, giving feedback that makes the work braver rather than safer.
• Making the Think and Make model work for you: shaping the idea and the execution together, so the budget, the timeline, and the idea all stay protected.
• Setting the quality bar on scripts, animatics, boards, edits, and final cuts, and holding it even when the clock is tight and the brief is still taking shape.
• Running creative on set and in post when a project needs it, with the instinct to know when to protect the idea and when to roll with it.
• Casting for culture: spotting the talent, personalities, and moments that make an audience actually remember, not just scroll past.
• Helping win new business with concepts and pitches that make brands want to pick us.

Requirements

• A portfolio of smart, culture-led video and content that made people feel something, got into the conversation, and moved the client's business. This matters more than anything else on the list.
• 7+ years in creative, ideally at an agency or production shop, with a real track record leading teams and juggling more than one project at a time.
• A good nose for culture. You know what talent, trends, and moments people are actually watching, and how to make a brand part of that.
• The ease to own a room, whether it is full of clients or full of creatives, and explain an idea so clearly that everyone wants to go build it.
• Real fluency in the language of production: treatments, animatics, boards, shot lists, edit workflows, and post.
• A sharp sense for how content performs across TV, CTV, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and paid social, not just how it looks.
• The steadiness to stay strategic when things are ambiguous, do a lot with a lean budget, hit deadlines that do not move, and lead without needing much oversight.
• A solid handle on the modern toolkit (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, the rest of the Creative Suite) and an openness to an AI-assisted pipeline that speeds things up without cutting corners on craft.

Preferred

• You have directed on set or led your own shoots.
• You have worked with challenger brands, product and brand launches, or new market entries.
• You come from a brand strategy or performance marketing background.
• You are dangerous in motion design, animation, or 3D.
• You have a little black book of talent, freelancers, and vendors you trust when a project needs to scale.
