AI Video Lead - 12 Month FTC

You bring deep visual storytelling craft - composition, lighting, colour, motion and pacing - likely from art direction, creative direction or content production.

You’re a hands-on, cross-platform creator with experience using generative AI video tools such as Higgsfield, Runway, Kling, CapCut, Veo, Pika or Sora. You have strong prompt-engineering skills, a rapid iteration loop and a portfolio that demonstrates both.

You’ve delivered high volumes of creative content to tight deadlines without compromising quality, and you can independently manage an end-to-end production pipeline from a brief.

You have strong creative judgement and know when an AI-generated result is ready—and when it needs another pass.

You give and receive specific, craft-focused feedback, and you raise risks and blockers early rather than trying to solve everything alone.

You’re genuinely energised by AI-generated content and comfortable working with ambiguity and rapidly evolving tools.

You're genuinely energised by AI-generated content and comfortable with ambiguity and constantly changing tools.

Experience creating social-first video for platforms such as TikTok, Reels or Shorts is a bonus, as is familiarity with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, basic Python or prompt tooling.
