Role Description

Collier.Simon is an independent, full-service creative agency. We work with client partners to develop creative solutions that truly move the needle. Clients range from Fortune 500 household names to up-and-comers across a variety of industries and verticals.

We’re building an AI-first video studio inside the agency to expand what our team can produce, focused on high-quality AI video for ads, social content, and beyond. The studio is early, the clients are real, and the creative freedom is significant. This role is for someone who lives and breathes AI video, enjoys the technology, the process, and the craft, and is excited about helping shape something from the ground up within an established agency.

You have real filmmaking instincts (story, pacing, composition) and know how to translate those instincts into AI video production. You understand what’s possible with the latest video tools, and that knowledge drives the creative. You see a new model drop and immediately think about what it unlocks for a spot or a piece of content. You’re equally comfortable creating end-to-end or running a loop with specialists when parts of the work are delegated.

You’ll work closely with the General Manager (AI Studio) and Head of Production, alongside a strong team with deep experience across strategy, brand, and performance marketing. The best work here happens when your video craft and knowledge of the tools meets their expertise in what moves the needle for clients. As the studio grows, this role grows with it.

What you’ll do

• Create AI videos end-to-end:
  • Take a concept or direction and produce a finished-looking draft, including shot planning, generation, motion, and post production.
  • Sometimes a finished cut.
• Originate and pitch concepts:
  • Use your knowledge of technology to bring ideas to the table that push the work forward.
  • The best concepts come from the overlap of strong creative instincts and strategy.
• Translate direction into execution:
  • Turn “what we’re trying to do” into shot-level reality quickly, without needing constant oversight.
• Run a specialist workflow when needed:
  • Brief freelance specialists (stills/variants, motion, audio, etc.), review what comes back, make selects, and keep iterations moving.
• Stay current on what’s new and what it changes:
  • Track new AI video model/tool releases, understand what’s now possible, and bring practical recommendations into the studio.
• Keep the work moving:
  • Organize outputs, versions, and selects so handoffs and reviews stay fast and clear.

Qualifications

• Hands-on and genuinely strong at AI video creation (not just familiar).
• Strong filmmaking instincts: think in scenes and shots, understand what a cut needs, and make something feel intentional.
• Maker first: primary mode is end-to-end, but can shift into producer mode when needed.
• Think in possibilities, not just briefs: connect tool updates or new techniques to concepts worth making.
• Fast and decisive: move fast, iterate confidently, and know what “good enough to ship” looks like.
• Clear communicator: can run a simple loop: brief → options → selects → iterate.
• Organized and reliable: calm under deadlines.

Nice to have

• Background in editing, motion design, filmmaking, VFX, or creative production.
• Comfortable finishing in Premiere / Resolve / Final Cut / CapCut.
• Strong command of modern AI video tools (generation, motion, audio) and adapts fast as tools change.

How to apply

• A short note (written by you, not AI): 5-8 sentences including what you’re best at, the AI tools you use most, and why this role fits.
• Your best 2-3 video examples:
  • 1 finished piece (with pacing + audio + edit).
  • 1 “chops” clip: a short scene or test that shows quality, realism, or motion craft.
  • 1 additional piece you’re proud of (any style).
• Collaboration example (2-3 bullets): Describe one time you worked with another creator or specialist.
• Process snapshot (5 bullets max): In plain English, how you go from concept → shots → motion → edit, and how you work with feedback.
• Logistics: This job is fully remote. Include time zone, typical working hours, when you can start, and preferred comp model.
• Bonus (one sentence): Describe one AI video you made that almost worked and what you did to fix it.

What happens next

Shortlisted candidates will do a small paid test (2-4 hours of work). We provide a short shot list + references. You deliver a few motion variants + a quick rough assembly. We’re evaluating speed, taste, communication, and organization.
