JOB SUMMARY

We are looking for a master visual storyteller—a lead Writer/Producer who excels at taking complex hardware/deeptech or Robotics and translating them into sharp, cinematic narratives and compelling content. You will serve as the engine of our video strategy, guiding projects seamlessly from initial pitch to final delivery.

While your core strength lies in creative direction, writing, and production management, you are a true multi-hyphenate: you bring valuable secondary skills in video editing and/or stills photography. Whether cutting a high-tempo video yourself, capturing striking product photography on set or on location, or collaborating with 3rd-party Motion Graphics for full-scale post-production, you know how to make complex hard tech look dynamic, authentic, and accessible.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Writing & Conceptual Development (Core): Write, script, storyboard, and pitch high-impact video concepts for product launches, digital campaigns, and narrative brand storytelling.
• End-to-End Producing (Core): Lead video projects from ideation to delivery—managing schedules, directing shoots, and coordinating production logistics to ensure high output and brand alignment.
• Cinematography & Directing (Core): Direct on-set talent (engineers, executives, actors) and serve as a primary visual lead on set, ensuring camera composition and lighting match a premium commercial aesthetic.
• Editing & Post-Production (Secondary): Handle hands-on editing for quick-turn digital cuts, internal updates, and promotional assets, while collaborating with external finishing/motion graphics partners for major campaigns.
• Brand & Stills Photography (Secondary): Capture high-quality product, behind-the-scenes, and environmental photography to support multi-channel marketing efforts alongside video shoots.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with executive, product, and engineering teams to turn technical robotics breakthroughs into engaging visual narratives.
