Creative Director

What you own

• The editor team: lanes, deadlines, priorities, per-lane style sheets, and recruiting new editors
• Edit direction: the narrative, the clip sequence and what is on screen, briefed in writing to every editor before work starts
• Quality control and sign-off. Nothing publishes until you have checked it against its brief
• Distribution: publishing to every platform, captions, timing and platform-native formatting
• The content calendar and tracking system, with at least seven days scheduled ahead
• Content inventory: clips cut from long-form, re-cuts of proven pieces when filming is light
• Thumbnail direction, executed by designers. Titles stay with us
• Brand and partner communication from first contact. Rates and terms stay with us
• Weekly reporting on what shipped and how it performed

The standard

• Every edit reaches its editor with a written brief covering narrative, sequence and on-screen elements
• First cuts reviewed within 24 hours, or 6 hours when flagged urgent
• No unflagged empty posting slot, and seven days of content always scheduled ahead
• Footage broken into deliverables and deadlined the same day it is filmed
• Every commitment has a date. A slipped date is moved once, out loud, immediately

Who this is for

• You have run a team of editors and shipped on a fixed schedule
• You understand narrative design, sequencing and storytelling. Not pure visual larp
• You are organised to the point of being boring about it: calendars, trackers, dates
• You write clearly. Your briefs are the product
