Responsibilities

• Partner with the marketing Creative Strategist from the earliest concept stage, translating their vision and scripts into a fully realized visual approach.
• Own the visual execution of the pod's output end to end, bringing the Strategist's scripts and concepts to life on screen, and contributing to copy or hooks when it helps.
• Be ready to direct shoots in person, giving real time notes to talent, crew, and production, and step behind the camera yourself (when needed) for lean, quick turnaround setups.
• Adjust lines on set when needed to keep the words and the visuals in sync. The scripts themselves come from the Strategist, but your read on what's working in the room matters.
• Shoot roughly 5 to 10 variants per concept to feed the post production iteration pipeline.
• Partner closely with the Producer on shoot planning, covering locations, talent, props, wardrobe, and shot lists.
• Collaborate with editorial and post production on every cut, giving clear, specific feedback to keep the work aligned with the original creative vision.
• Maintain a high bar for craft across the board, composition, typography, color, motion, clarity, and voice, even at high volume and speed.
• Translate what's winning in performance back into visual direction for future concepts and shoots, sharing insights with the Strategist to help shape future scripts.

Requirements

• 6 to 9 years of experience in art direction, video direction, or design, with copywriting or scripting as a secondary skill, and a portfolio spanning concept development and video first paid social or branded content, not just execution of others' briefs.
• Demonstrated experience developing visual treatments, along with giving clear creative direction to crews, talent, and editors.
• Hands on shooting experience, comfortable operating a camera yourself for lean shoots, not only directing a crew.
• Comfortable contributing to copy, hooks, or scripts when it's useful, even though scripts are typically owned by the Creative Strategist.
• Proven ability to concept and ship video first ads quickly in fast paced, high volume environments, balancing craft and business needs to deliver effective solutions with minimal guidance.
• Deep understanding of platform best practices for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Snap, and emerging short form formats.
• Comfort collaborating across functions with editorial, production, and other internal creative teams, including distributed or offshore teams, to protect creative vision through iteration.
• Comfort adapting your craft and creative point of view across multiple brands, categories, and audiences within a shared production system, rather than staying limited to a single brand.
• Strong creative instincts across both visual storytelling and voice, with proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other relevant AI creative tools.
• Comfort working with performance data as a guide for creative decisions, not just craft instinct, exercising sound judgment in balancing creative risk against practical constraints driven by the business.
