Creative Director / Story Crafter

This is a full‑time, in‑person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) – we work from the office 5 days a week. You must be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting. We require US work authorisation, but are open to O‑1 or J‑1 visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates. We’re the first multiplayer AI, and our product is years ahead of how we tell its story. We ship something remarkable most weeks and it barely leaves the building. That’s the gap you close. We’re looking for a story crafter. Not a video editor, not a social manager, or a brand copywriter – someone who owns the narrative of what Sauna is in the world: pulls it out of the founder’s head, adds their own taste, and pushes it out until people feel it. You tell that story beautifully with visuals: motion, film, and the whole creative surface. What You’ll Own The narrative of Sauna in the world – extract the story from the founder and product, sharpen it with your own POV, and make it land everywhere. The story, told in visuals – find the human reason anyone should care, then make it move people. The heart of the role. Motion and video end to end – concept, shoot, motion design, edit, publish. Hands‑on in the timeline. Instagram and our social presence – set the visual and editorial direction and keep it coherent. Creative pipelines that output at volume – build repeatable systems (Sauna itself, Claude Code, AI tooling) so we ship a lot, fast. Volume with taste. Who Thrives Here Crafts stories that move people; can point to work that travelled and say why it worked. Real motion‑design chops – and in the AI era that now includes HTML/CSS/code, not just After Effects, C4D, or Blender. Could be the creator, not just the director (Johnny Harris style), or cast and direct one. Either way knows what makes that video work. Has built with Claude Code (or similar) and AI creative tooling – wired up their own pipelines, not just prompted once. Takes an idea from zero to published without being managed there.
