0. This is a unique "player-coach" role that requires a balance of high-level strategy and tactical execution. Sitting within our Developer Marketing team, you will act as both a "taste-maker" and consultant for internal teams, ensuring our content is visually stunning, on-brand, and resonates with a technical audience. You are also someone who loves to roll up your sleeves to create or revise assets when needed.

Whether you are directing an external contractor, collaborating with internal stakeholders on relevant content, or jumping into a project yourself to build design templates or edit videos, you thrive on bridging the gap between big-picture vision and daily execution. Beyond creation, you will act as the architect of our creative operations—scouting new tools, building efficient workflows, and creating the scalable templates that empower self-service creation and support to our broader team.

• End-to-End Media Production: Oversee and manage the lifecycle of video projects, from initial concept and strategy through post-production and deployment.
• Creative Direction & Taste-Making: Act as the internal creative consultant, guiding the aesthetic direction for video, graphic design, and web/wireframe needs.
• AI Workflow Innovation: Proactively explore, adopt, and implement modern AI tools and workflows to streamline creative production and content scaling.
• Self-Service Support: Enable cross-functional teams by creating and managing "self-service" creative assets, such as image templates and tutorial video frameworks.
• Channel & Content Strategy: Support and optimize our You Tube channel and broader video strategy, ensuring content is engaging and high-performing.

• Workflow Optimization: Design, document, and introduce new creative workflows and guidelines to iterate and improve our media creation processes for both video and static assets.
• Event & On-Site Production Support: Occasional travel (approx. 5-10%) to capture high-quality content at events, including keynotes, presentations, and/or interviews while working directly with executive leadership.

• Option A: Directly handle on-site production, including camera operation (DSLR/Mirrorless cameras), audio capture, and lighting setup.
• Option B: Source, hire, and direct local third-party production vendors and crews to handle the technical shoot while you oversee creative direction on-site

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in a creative agency or corporate environment. Proven track record in roles such as Creative Director, Media Manager, Post-Production Manager, or Senior Media Specialist.
