About the Job Role:
We want a hands-on Creative Director to own the visual vision for our founder shoots. You decide how every frame looks, then pick up the camera and shoot it for Vaibhav Sisinty’s content and events.
You will choreograph each shoot, design the set and staging, direct founders on camera, and own the mood, lighting, and composition. Taste is the job. We want a sharp visual instinct and a clear point of view across podcasts, founder content, ad films, and campaigns, from concept to final frame. Beyond production, you will be expected to build an AI-native filmmaking workflow. This includes leveraging AI tools across pre-production, production, and post-production to increase creative output, speed, and quality.
If you are passionate about building the next generation of media and want to work with one of the world's leading AI creators, we'd love to hear from you.
