Responsibilities

• The creative concept for every channel — the idea of what we make, before anyone picks up a camera
• Art direction, photography, video, editing, and design — the craft that brings it to life
• Short-form video end to end: hook, script, shoot, cut
• The repeatable formats that make Escargot recognizable
• The brief and creative direction for any creators we work with
• The quality bar — if something's dead on arrival, you kill it before it ships
• Both of you invent, both of you execute, and both of you answer the same question: did this make someone actually want to send something?

Requirements

• You're the idea person and the maker — you can concept it, shoot it, edit it, and design around it yourself
• You have taste, and the body of work to prove it (show us)
• You get platform-native short-form video, down to why the first frame decides everything
• You'd rather make ten things and learn than polish one
• You can feel when something is generic, cringe, or over-polished — and fix it
• Full-time, on-site in NYC
• Reports directly to Aaron (CEO)
