Fractional Video Director

Responsibilities

• Own video quality standards and the QA process across every video we ship, from script to final cut.
• Source, vet and manage video vendors and freelancers (editors, scriptwriters, creators). Hold them to quality, turnaround and cost.
• Build a repeatable production workflow, including in-house editing and scriptwriting where it beats outsourcing on quality or cost.
• Track cost per video and keep the program inside budget.
• Coach our creative producer and video strategists on production, feedback and client handling.
• Be the expert in the room with clients. Explain why a video is built for discovery, and push back on feedback that would hurt performance (talent choice, length, format).
• Test AI-assisted editing and scripting tools, and adopt the ones that hold up to our quality bar.

Requirements

• 10+ years in video or film production, including creative director or senior producer roles.
• Experience running video at volume across multiple vendors and freelancers.
• A working knowledge of YouTube: titles, hooks, retention, search and how videos get discovered.
• Confidence with clients. You can defend a creative call to a senior marketer and keep the relationship strong.
• A practical take on AI video tools. You know where they save time and where they fall short.
• Comfort working fractionally: async-first, decisive, and focused on the highest-leverage problems.
