THE ROLEThis is a hands-on production role - you'll be shooting and directing a high volume of short-form social media ads daily. But we're not just looking for high-quality shoot execution, we're looking for someone excited by the challenge of building and scaling our production org towards industry-leading levels of output and creativity.
You're likely a videographer/DP who can shoot high-quality content. You can set up a great set. You can direct talent to give their best performances. But you're not just thinking about execution - you're thinking bigger about the systems behind it. You can build the team and processes to scale our production volume. You can coach junior talent to produce, shoot and direct better. You understand what works in paid social ads, and you've probably worked inside an agency or brand team.
This is a fully onsite, hands-on role from day one, reporting to our Head of Creative. You'll be shooting, directing, and owning sets personally, while also helping shape how production gets staffed and run as we scale. You'll have a direct hand in designing our new studios and modular sets. We're looking for people who are ambitious, want to grow, and are excited by the idea of helping scale a production team from the ground up. This is a high-impact role.
