Director - Snowball

Contract / Contract-to-Hire | $10,000-$14,000/month | US Remote

We're building the best You Tube agency in the world.

We've assembled a crazy-talented group of You Tube strategists who've collectively generated over 110 billion views and shaped how You Tube works today. Our founder, Ryan Hashemi, built Jubilee to 14 million subscribers, has 4 Emmy nominations, and even trained the person who now is the CEO of MrBeast's studio. Our team comes from iconic names like WIRED, Vogue, Mini Katana (18M+ subs), and other influential You Tube brands.

Now we're helping the world's biggest brands crack the code on You Tube and make content that people actually want to watch at scale.

We lead You Tube creative and content programming as a strategic channel. We staff and train in-house You Tube teams for clients, hiring video producers, editors, and strategists, and build long-form storytelling systems designed to compound over time. The result: evergreen content that earns millions of views, builds loyal audiences, and drives conversions.

After stepping down from Jubilee, Ryan is betting everything on Snowball, and that bet is already paying off.

The world's biggest brands know You Tube is the next frontier, they just need the right partner to help them win.

That's where you come in.

As a Director at Snowball, you own the creative vision for You Tube content made for some of the biggest brands in the world. You'll shape what a video is before its shot, direct it on set, and steer it through the edit, holding a single creative point of view from concept to final cut.

You'll work closely with our producers, strategists, editors, and channel leads to develop formats, set the creative bar, and build videos designed to hold attention, drive retention, and scale channels through repeatable, high-performing structures. This role is ideal for a director who thinks in stories and systems, and who is excited to own creative outcomes rather than just execute against a brief.

• Own the creative vision end to end for every video you're assigned

• Develop formats, mechanisms, and structure alongside the Snowball team

• Build creative outlines that map how a video will look once shot and edited: intro, title cards, format beats, specific insights, and outro; and present them for review ahead of filming

• Build shot lists and set the visual vision for filming locations

• Attend casting calls and align talent on creative needs and expectations

• Identify props, set decoration, and any assets needed on set (clips, images, music)

• Partner with the DP to set the look and technical expectations for each shoot

• Ensure every video aligns with Snowball's You Tube best practices: confirming title and thumbnail options before shooting, identifying and paying off the promise of the video, crafting an optimized intro, and building for value, retention, and insight

• Devise and execute creative elevations and confirm all must-haves are captured

• Direct all creative on set

• Build the paper-cut and edit outline that sets the editor up for success

• Work closely with editors through the edit, owning notes and creative direction across every cut

• Incorporate notes from Snowball and brand partners in Frame.io, turning notes around no later than one day after a cut is delivered

• Maintain consistency across episodes, formats, and recurring series

• 5+ years directing video content with a strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling craft (required). You Tube experience is strongly preferred.

• Proven track record developing formats and creative concepts that perform, not just executing someone else's vision

• Strong understanding of You Tube pacing,…
