Conveo; New York (NY); On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Conveo is seeking a seasoned video leader in New York to own our content engine from concept to final cut. You will direct hero films, shape formats, and build a repeatable production bench with editors, freelancers, and crews.

This role blends hands-on craft with scalable systems to define how our category is seen on screen. You will supervise production, guide thought leadership videos, and ensure every asset aligns with the brand across channels.

Qualifications

• Has owned or run a video studio, production company, or in-house video function with proven processes.
• Directed and produced: brief a DOP, run a shoot day, manage an edit, and hit a budget.
• Excellent editor capable of setting the bar through own cuts.
• Sharp story editor for long and short formats: 90 min podcasts to 30 sec clips.
• Exceptional storyteller ensuring every piece lands while formats build a coherent brand narrative.
• Orchestrator who can build and run a bench of freelancers, editors, motion designers, and crews.
• Hands-on in a scale-up: ship first, then systematize.

Responsibilities

• Set the slate and direct the hero films.
• Build and own the narrative slate: flagship films around customer stories and landmark studies, the proof pieces that carry our category story.
• Own the video spine of every hero campaign: campaign owners bring the objective, you take it from concept through hero film through every cutdown.
• Find the angle, shape the narrative, run the production, and own the final cut.
• Build formats that repeat.
• Shape the podcast as a format: guest thesis, filmed or audio, episode arcs, and the clip strategy that gives every episode ten lives across channels.
• Turn our 40+ events a year into a content engine: decide which ones get a crew, what we capture, and turn each event into a clip library instead of a memory.
• Invent, test, and retire formats deliberately, judged by what they prove about the brand and whether they can repeat.
• Run the machine that makes every asset compound.
• Own the clipping and repurposing pipeline: cutdowns, social clips, and channel-native edits, with channel owners handling placement and spend.
• Build and run the production bench: freelancers, editors, motion designers, crews, and our external design agency.
• Systematize the craft: briefs, shot lists, edit templates, and pipelines that make the tenth shoot cheaper and better than the first.
• Steward the brand on every screen.
• Anything carrying the Conveo brand on screen meets your standard: define what great looks like, document it, and enforce it kindly and relentlessly.
• Direct our founders and experts on camera: shape what they say, how it looks, and where it fits the bigger narrative.
• Work hand in hand with thought leadership to showcase research expertise through hero videos around customer cases and impactful studies
