About the role
Research labs hire Members of Technical Staff: no title ladders, no narrow lanes, just people trusted to own hard problems end to end. We hire the same way for creative.
As a Member of Creative Staff, you own outcomes, not tasks. You don't have to do everything yourself you'll work with editors, strategists, and clients - but when something is yours, it's yours.
You can take anything from an idea to 100: concept, script, production, edit, publish, iterate. Wherever your hands stop, your ownership doesn't.
What you'll do
- Own creative for client accounts and launches from first concept to final numbers
- Write hooks and scripts that earn the next three seconds, again and again
- Direct, shoot, and edit short-form video - or direct the people who do
- Study what performed and why, then feed it back into the next piece
- Raise the bar on everything we ship, including work that isn't yours
What we look for
- You've made creative that traveled, your own account, a brand, a client. Receipts over resumes.
- You can carry an idea from zero to published without waiting to be told what's next
- You know why something worked, not just that it worked
- You have taste, and you refuse to ship the version that's merely fine
- You move fast and care anyway
No minimum years of experience. No degree requirement.
We will not look at your resume
Compensation
$80K–$200K. The range is wide because the title is flat:
we pay for what you can do, not how long you've done it.
