Full Job Description
Your Mission
1. Set the slate and direct the hero films

You decide what deserves the full treatment, then make it land on screen.
  • 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
2. Build formats that repeat

A format that repeats beats a one-off that impresses.
  • 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
3. Run the machine that makes every asset compound

Every shoot should keep paying out long after the camera is packed.
  • Own the clipping and repurposing pipeline: cutdowns, social clips, and channel-native edits, with channel owners handling placement and spend
  • Build and run the production bench: freelancers, editors, motion designers, crews, and our external design agency
  • Systematize the craft: briefs, shot lists, edit templates, and pipelines that make the tenth shoot cheaper and better than the first
4. Steward the brand on every screen

You are a director in the broadest sense: you understand the script, and the meta script of what the company needs to say through the sum of all its films.
  • Anything carrying the Conveo brand on screen meets your standard: define what great looks like, document it, and enforce it kindly and relentlessly
  • Direct our founders and experts on camera: shape what they say, how it looks, and where it fits the bigger narrative
  • Work hand in hand with thought leadership to showcase research expertise through hero videos around customer cases and impactful studies
What We're Looking For
Must-haves

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
Mindset
  • 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
  • Taste with a spine: you defend the quality bar even when the deadline argues
Nice to have
  • 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
What Success Looks Like
After 6 to 12 months:
  • Conveo has a recognizable video presence people watch on purpose, with formats that ship on a rhythm
  • Every hero campaign has a film at its center, and every event comes home as a clip library
  • The podcast runs as a real format with a thesis, a guest slate, and a clip machine behind it
  • A production bench executes against a documented quality bar without you touching every frame
  • Output per shoot has multiplied, and the brand looks and sounds unmistakably Conveo on every screen
