Full Job Description
Were seeking a dynamic, strategic, and experienced Director of Media to lead a high-performing, multi-disciplinary media team. This leader will guide, mentor, and lead a talented group of managers, photographers, videographers, and media specialists-across brand marketing, social, and internal media for Vivint. Our team consistently delivers exceptional, high caliber, business-driving work.

Our ideal candidate is an experienced director and cinematographer with an award-winning portfolio of captivating media. We are looking for a visionary and an organized operator: someone who can nurture creativity, uphold standards of excellence, and scale systems and talent within a team that already sets a high bar. You will completely own the evolution and stewardship of our brands media personality, ensuring it remains consistent, elevated, and aligned with our strategic vision. We move faster than most media teams, and we look for leaders who can thrive in that intensity without compromising quality. You should be comfortable multi-tasking dozens of projects amongst your team, as well as managing your own output. You create the kind of work that turns heads, sparks conversation, and quietly makes others rethink their own output. You must be confident presenting and defending creative decisions in high-stakes rooms-translating creative rationale into strategic value for senior stakeholders. Youre the kind of leader who checks ego at the door, leads by example, and puts your team first. No project is beneath you to complete yourself, and you are ready to jump in when needed, provide clarity and support, and clearly communicate and fight for the career growth of your teammates. You dont just put out fires-you spot the smoke before it starts and build systems to prevent the blaze. You should have a proven track record of developing well-crafted, strategically grounded advertising campaigns.

This isnt a place to coast. Vivint is in a high-growth, high-impact phase, and we need someone whos hungry to lead through bold creativity and sharp strategy-and help us leave the competition behind.
