• Own motion graphics, configurators, website motion, social, and at-scale content production
• Partner with account-aligned Creative Directors to shape ideas based on the brief, bringing a deep TVC production background to the collaboration
• Direct video productions from concept to final cut
• Serve as final creative eye and technical supervisor over post-production (owned day-to-day by Motion/Editorial Leads) - grounded in a VFX compositing, color, and technical filmmaking background
• Build/maintain custom tooling (code) for scaled content production and complex VFX pipelines
• Partner with talent agencies, production studios, and freelancers to build ideal team composition for each shoot

GenAI Studio & Future of Content

• Lead the GenAI Lead and GenAI Studio's offering: architect multi-model chains for high-fidelity, production-grade, art-directable imagery base around traditional production creative decision making
• Drive the studio's future-of-content agenda: pioneer and champion hybrid workflows that blend traditional production and GenAI output
• Push the broader team toward new working methods as GenAI capability matures, evolving how traditional and AI-generated content are combined in production

Marketing Production

• Provide creative oversight on brand films and case-study films, shaping narrative and visual flow to elevate brand profile and ensure consistently crisp storytelling
• Direct the Associate Director of Studio on production logistics: scope, schedule, budget, vendor management, delivery

Executive Production & Commercial Models

• Serve as Executive Producer partnering with the Associate Director of Studio on pricing models and commercial structures for studio work
• Own commercial approach for how studio services are packaged and priced across client and internal engagements

Talent Operations

• Partner with Americas Ops to optimize talent utilization across client-billable and funded internal work
• Support contractor hiring and full time hiring and vetting across the studio functions

Presales, Account Growth & Partnerships

• Serve as senior technical/creative voice in pitches, presenting GenAI and content capabilities directly to CMOs and senior client stakeholders

• Partner with Google and Microsoft platform teams on custom platforms to drive consumption via the content supply chain

 

Must have qualifications

•    15+ years in TVC/commercial production spanning creative direction, directing, and post
•    Strong, demonstrable portfolio spanning all key craft categories within the studio (creative/concept, directing, post/VFX/motion/color, GenAI-driven content) — an "M-shaped" talent profile rather than single-discipline depth
•    VFX compositing, color, and technical filmmaking background
•    Track record leading multiple production functions/teams, not just individual delivery
•    Proven GenAI/multi-model pipeline expertise with fidelity and consistency control
•    Track record introducing new workflows/methodologies to a production team (change management, not just tool adoption)
•    Comfortable presenting to C-suite/CMO audiences
•    Experience qualifying/scoping deals as a subject-matter expert in a sales-support capacity
•    Coding/scripting applied to production tooling
•    Experience with resource/utilization planning and talent-network management across billable and internal work
