Responsibilities

• Set the slate and direct the hero films
• Build and own the narrative slate: flagship films around customer stories and landmark studies, the proof pieces that carry our category story
• Own the video spine of every hero campaign: campaign owners bring the objective, you take it from concept through hero film through every cutdown
• Find the angle, shape the narrative, run the production, and own the final cut
• Build formats that repeat
• Shape the podcast as a format: guest thesis, filmed or audio, episode arcs, and the clip strategy that gives every episode ten lives across channels
• Turn our 40+ events a year into a content engine: decide which ones get a crew, what we capture, and turn each event into a clip library instead of a memory
• Invent, test, and retire formats deliberately, judged by what they prove about the brand and whether they can repeat
• Run the machine that makes every asset compound
• Own the clipping and repurposing pipeline: cutdowns, social clips, and channel-native edits, with channel owners handling placement and spend

Requirements

• You have owned or run a video studio, production company, or in-house video function, with the scars and systems to show for it
• You have directed and produced: you can brief a DOP, run a shoot day, manage an edit, and hit a budget
• An excellent editor in your own right: the role starts very hands-on, and your own cuts set the bar the bench has to match
• A sharp story editor at any length: a 90 minute podcast, a 3 minute hero film, a 30 second clip
• An exceptional storyteller at both altitudes: each piece lands on its own, and the formats and throughlines across pieces build one coherent, on-brand narrative
• An orchestrator: comfortable building and running a bench of freelancers, editors, motion designers, and crews
• Hands-on in a scale-up: you ship first, then systematize
• Hungry to build a company into a media brand, and a student of the ones who did it
• Thinks in formats and slates, and judges ideas by what they prove about the brand and whether they can repeat
• High agency, low ego: happy to hold the camera on Tuesday and present the slate to founders on Wednesday

Preferred

• B2B software, market research, or insights industry exposure
• Motion design or animation literacy
• AI-assisted production workflows in practice: editing, repurposing, and versioning at scale
