Expiration Date

Until further notice

Requirements

10+ Years of Experience: Proven track record at top-tier design, advertising, or production agencies. You should be functioning at a Creative Director level with a heavy emphasis on live-action.
Exceptional Writing Skills: This is a mandate. You must be able to write precisely, structure scripts for documentary-style content, and articulate complex strategies in decks.
Live-Action Expertise: A portfolio demonstrating a mastery of human-centric storytelling, social-native formats, and cinematography.
Strategic Thinking: The ability to look at a project through a business lens, elevating a brief beyond just 'making it look good' to 'making it work' for the brand.
Presentation & Communication: Strong 'presence' in leadership reviews. You must be comfortable defending creative decisions and pivoting based on high-level feedback.
The 'Visual Eye': While not a hands-on motion role, you must have refined taste in typography, graphic design, and motion rhythm to guide those who are executing the work.

Job Responsibility

Strategic Concepting: Lead the development of video strategies for high-visibility 'Stories' within the major product initiatives.
Creative Authorship: Own the presentation process. You will be responsible for building Keynotes, writing scripts/conversational frameworks, and presenting work to senior leadership.
Creative Direction & Oversight: While you won't be 'pushing pixels' in Motion or Design, you will provide critical feedback to in-house designers and motion artists to ensure a cohesive final product.
Vendor Management: Serve as the creative authority when working with external production houses. You will review director treatments and provide high-level direction during shoots (often via remote directing tools like Evercast).
End-to-End Ownership: Manage 2–3 long-term projects simultaneously (typically 4-month cycles), maintaining the vision through post-production, color correction, and final delivery.
