Senior AI Vertical Mini-Series Director

Role Description

We're hiring a full-time senior director to own the end-to-end production of a vertical (9:16) short drama series. This is NOT a generic "AI video creator" role. We need experienced storytellers, specialized in mini dramas, who can be taught our AI stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Own 1–2 series at a time (10–15 episodes per series, ~1 min per episode + a trailer).
• Work with our in-house AI copilot for character consistency, casting, and trailer generation.
• Direct, edit, and finish each episode yourself. You create scripts; you bring the storytelling and craft.
• We will teach you AI Content creation. If you have a strong background in film editing, you will learn fast.
• Collaborate with our team of AI Content Creators, tech team, other Short Film Directors, and our exec team.

Qualifications

• 4+ years directing or showrunning short-form narrative video.
• Strong scripting instincts: hooks, cliffhangers, minute-to-minute escalation.
• Have played around with AI generation tools such as Runway Gen-4, Sora 2, Kling 3, Veo 3, Pika, Higgsfield, and Seedance. We will teach you to become an expert quickly.
• Experience with vertical drama platforms.

Requirements

• Strong communication & collaborative skills (perfectly fluent in English).
• Goal-oriented, ownership and commitment.
• Doer mindset - we are moving fast and need people who can balance execution, planning, and strategy.
• Obsessive about speed, performance and iteration.
• Humble - willing to learn, open to feedback.

Benefits

• Contract Type: We prefer B2B, but we’re flexible, what matters is long-term commitment and impact.
• Work From Anywhere: Fully remote. Choose the environment where you do your best work.
• Paid Time Off: 4 weeks (20 working days) of PTO per year to recharge and reset.
• Annual Gathering: A yearly in-person meetup to connect, brainstorm, and celebrate wins together.
• Health & Wellness Support: Monthly allowance of 100 USD for health insurance expenses + unlimited 1:1 sessions with psychologists and lifestyle experts through OpenUp (also available for up to three family members).
• Co-Working Space Budget: Work from a co-working space up to twice per month (35 EUR / 40 USD per visit) to stay inspired and connected.
• Learning Budget: Dedicated funds to support your professional growth: courses, books, conferences, events, or certifications.
• Equipment: Company laptop provided + monitor budget up to 250 USD for your workspace setup.
• AI Tools Access: Premium access to ChatGPT, Cursor, Hugging Face, Claude Code, and any other tool needed to excel at your job, power your ideas and workflows.
