  • 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.

  • 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.
