Job description

The Mission:

Build the operating system for the future of AI-powered entertainment.

About Us

Our journey at Dashverse began with a simple question: What if AI could power the next generation of entertainment? As a Series A company backed by leading investors like Peak XV, Matrix, and Stellaris, we first redefined storytelling with Dashtoon, our revolutionary AI comics creation and distribution platform. Now, with Dashreels, we are creating a new universe of short-form video, pairing addictive short dramas with our own game-changing AI-generated originals. We're on a mission to become the world's go-to destination for compelling, short-form narrative content.

Role Overview

• You’ll lead the art teams across 4–5 shows simultaneously, collaborating closely with the Creative Director and other leads across scripting, animation, and post-production.
• Set the visual language, style, and tone for each show based on the Creative Director & Creative Producer’s vision
• Make decisions around casting and character asset creation, ensuring continuity across episodes
• Guide Senior AI Artists in maintaining quality and giving feedback to their teams
• Monitor team productivity, manage expectations, and ensure timely delivery of visuals
• Act as the bridge between creativity and execution — translating abstract vision into repeatable visual pipelines.
• Implement SOPs and process improvements to streamline AI image generation and asset management.
• Participate in regular reviews, planning meetings, and creative syncs with other departments

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in art direction, visual development, or creative production, with strong operations focus.
• Experience in managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent problem-solving, multitasking, and quick decision-making skills.
• Comfortable working in AI-based workflows and implementing process improvements.
• Background in film/video production or animation/motion design will be preferred
• A strong eye for composition, lighting, character aesthetics, and overall visual storytelling
• A clear communicator who can balance creative vision with production speed

Why Join Us?

• Build from the Ground Up: A rare opportunity to shape the core systems of a breakout company in its early, high-growth stage.
• Unprecedented Impact: Your work will directly influence the success and scalability of our entire operation.
• Work with the Best: Join a dynamic and passionate team that is setting new standards in storytelling and technology.
• Accelerate Your Career: This role offers immense potential for personal and professional growth in a fast-scaling company.
