About the Role
This is an AI-first, hands-on creative leadership role embedded within the Flow Studio Product organization. You’ll have significant creative freedom, lead a dedicated content team, work closely with Product leadership, and get hands-on with emerging AI filmmaking tools and workflows. The work can range from ambitious cinematic showcases and AI films to fast-moving social experiments designed to earn attention organically.
Responsibilities
- Own the creative vision and quality bar for Flow Studio across in-product creative experiences, cinematic content, libraries, demos, showcases, and product storytelling.
- Lead and develop the Flow Studio content team, setting creative priorities, directing execution, mentoring contributors, and building a team capable of producing exceptional work quickly.
- Create and direct ambitious AI filmmaking work—from cinematic showcases and product films to reference-quality experiments that push the creative possibilities of Flow Studio.
- Work hands-on with emerging AI image, video, performance, animation, and filmmaking tools; prototype new ideas, test new models and techniques, and turn experimentation into finished creative work.
- Shape the creative layer of the product itself, including cinematic and animation libraries, camera moves, examples, templates, onboarding content, reusable scene elements, and other creator-facing experiences.
- Bring strong filmmaking judgment to camera, composition, lighting, performance, pacing, editing, visual treatment, and storytelling across the work.
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering from early feature development through launch, translating new capabilities into compelling creative experiences and demonstrations.
- Act as the primary product-side creative partner to Marketing for launches, campaigns, promotional films, social, web, events, and other external storytelling—helping shape concepts, scripts, storyboards, visuals, and execution.
- Identify opportunities around emerging AI, filmmaking, and social trends, and create culturally relevant, internet-native work that is distinctive, timely, highly shareable, and capable of earning meaningful organic reach.
- Build lightweight creative standards, reusable assets, and production practices that help the team maintain a very high bar without slowing down experimentation.
Requirements
- Exceptional portfolio or reel demonstrating outstanding cinematic taste, storytelling, and creative direction.
- Deep, hands-on experience with AI filmmaking and modern generative creative tools, with a strong understanding of the rapidly evolving image, video, performance, animation, and AI production landscape.
- Strong filmmaking instincts across camera, composition, lighting, performance, pacing, editing, and visual storytelling. Cinematography or directing experience is a major plus.
- Proven ability to originate and create ambitious cinematic work—not only manage or review the work of others.
- Strong understanding of viral, social, and internet-native content, with sharp awareness of emerging social media trends, formats, platforms, and online culture. Demonstrated experience creating or directing work that has earned meaningful organic reach, audience engagement, or cultural traction.
- Experience leading creative teams, giving direct and constructive feedback, and maintaining a consistently high creative bar.
- Comfort working closely with Product and Engineering teams and turning emerging technology and complex product capabilities into compelling creative ideas, demonstrations, and experiences.
