Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, make an impact, and build a long-term career.

We are hiring a Creative Lead to serve as the primary video creator and on-site creative force behind the founders’ personal brand and content strategy. This role exists to elevate the company’s visual identity through cinematic, high-production video content that captures authentic founder storytelling. You will own the end-to-end video production process—from concept development to final delivery—while also providing creative direction across broader brand aesthetics.

This is a highly autonomous, execution-heavy role that requires both strategic thinking and hands-on production expertise. You will collaborate cross-functionally with marketing and leadership while leading creative direction for designers and interns. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and proactively drives content ideas before they are requested.

You will be instrumental in shaping and scaling the founders’ digital presence through high-quality, engaging video content. Your work will directly contribute to audience growth, engagement, and brand positioning as a premium, high-authority voice.

You will build a proactive content engine—transitioning from reactive production to consistent video series and campaigns. Your creative direction will ensure brand consistency across all channels while elevating overall production quality. Ultimately, your output will drive visibility, virality, and stronger audience connection with the founders and company.
