About the Role
We are seeking a Motion Media Director to lead the creation of compelling video content for a major retail organization.

Emotional, community-focused, and purpose-driven storytelling is highly valued. As Motion Media Director, you will:
  • Develop video concepts and craft narratives that align with project goals.
  • Create mood boards and storyboards to convey thematic direction and story arcs.
  • Conduct interviews and direct real people on set to capture authentic stories.
  • Provide art direction during shoots, ensuring camera angles and compositions reflect the creative vision.
  • Oversee editing, including cuts, transitions, pacing, color, and sound for high-quality output.
  • Collaborate with designers, motion graphics editors, producers, and other creative professionals.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and budget requirements.
  • Travel as needed for on-location shoots.

Qualifications
Required
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 4 years of professional creative experience in a corporate or agency setting.
  • Proven expertise in video production processes, including shoot direction, lighting, sound, and editing.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong interviewing and on-set directing skills.
  • Willingness to travel for shoots.
  • Portfolio demonstrating human-driven, journalistic storytelling.
Preferred
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional creative teams.
  • Familiarity with motion graphics and post-production workflows.
  • Strong understanding of narrative development for digital and social platforms.
