About the Role

Cinematica is our AI-native video studio that turns stories into high-quality, cinematic videos, aiming to become the operating system for storytellers.
Responsibilities
- Own the Cinematica roadmap end to end, including adaptation, shot generation, character and style consistency, music, editing, and quality evaluation.
- Define and document quality standards for Inkitt stories on screen.
- Build the evaluation system for quality, including rubrics, benchmarks, blind comparisons, and human review loops.
- Own the model and prompt strategy, and make buy-versus-build decisions in collaboration with engineering, design, analytics, and user research.
- Drive product improvements through the entire lifecycle: ideation, specification, development, release, analysis, and iterations.
- Run a tight iteration loop: ship, analyze user behavior, diagnose failures, and feed insights back into the pipeline.
- Collaborate with the Creative Director and AI-Video Production team to translate craft judgment into scalable systems.
- Educate and influence cross-functional stakeholders and leadership to secure buy-in on the roadmap.
- Communicate hypotheses and results to team members and leadership.

- Demonstrable taste and the ability to articulate and codify creative quality.
- Proven track record owning the quality of creative output at scale and building measurement systems (benchmarks, human eval, blind comparisons, A/B testing).
- Experience in Generative AI, film and TV post-production, games, animation, or creative tooling is a plus.
- Experience making things personally, not just managing others.
- Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to quantify qualitative and quantitative data for product and strategic decisions.
