• Ability to manage multiple projects, lead teams, and meet deadlines.
• Ability to adapt content to different target audiences and cultural contexts.
• Pragmatic approach to balancing creative quality, technical limitations, and production timelines.
• Proven portfolio, including a showreel, scripts, or completed projects.

• Develop series concepts, characters, storylines, episode outlines, and scripts for short-form vertical video formats.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, coordinate AI editors, oversee production, and provide final creative approval.
• Lead visual direction, including shot lists, composition, camera language, and scene sequencing.
• Maintain consistency in characters, visual style, tone, and fictional worlds across episodes and series.
• Work on AI-driven acting performance by creating precise and expressive prompts to control characters' emotions, movements, and behavior.
• Adapt scripts to different target audiences, cultural contexts, and markets.
• Research new storytelling formats and audience-retention techniques.
• Develop advertising and showcase videos to promote the studio.
• Ensure final content quality and make decisions on whether each project is ready for publication.
