Job description

Wizard is the AI-native platform for creative work, starting with professional video: a native C++ editor and headless media runtime that humans, agents, and developers all operate.

Wizard is built alongside a film studio. Make its marketing look like it.

Why this role matters

Designed by editors, for editors is our positioning, not a slogan. The market is loud with AI video demos that professionals don't trust. Wizard's story is different: creative as code, every decision editable, built in the room with working editors. We publish our technical work, we have paying customers with real stories, and we have Story's crew to shoot with. We need the person who decides what we say, where we say it, and makes sure it lands.

About the role

You'll report to our Head of GTM and own Wizard's voice across the public launch, research posts, customer stories, tutorials, social, and press. You'll set the KPIs marketing is measured on, and you'll direct content shot with Story's crew.

What you'll do

• Own the public launch story and every asset that ships with it.

• Keep technical research posts on a steady cadence, working with our engineers.

• Turn paid beta customers into case studies and customer videos.

• Produce tutorials, education, and launch videos, shot with Story's crew.

• Set marketing KPIs for public launch and report on them weekly.

• Build press relationships across creative, film-industry, and tech media.

What you bring

• A track record of launches: you've taken a product to market and can show what moved.

• Excellent writing: clear, specific, and in a voice professionals respect.

• Production experience: you've directed or produced video and know how a shoot runs.

• Taste: you know the difference between hype and a story that holds up in an edit bay.

• Ownership: you move work forward independently and follow through after launch.

Show us what you can do

We welcome different backgrounds. Evidence of a strong fit could include:

• Marketing or content leadership at Linear, Figma, Apple, Runway, The Browser Company, or a company like them.

• A portfolio of writing, video, or brand work with your role made clear.

• Experience in film, post-production, or the creator economy.

You do not need a marketing title. We care about what you've made, the stories you've told, and how well you understand creative people.

About Wizard

Every so often, a new technology redefines how stories get told: the printing press, the telephone, radio, the film camera, the cutting room, television, the digital camera, non-linear editing. We think we're at the start of the next one, and we intend to build the company that defines it.

Wizard is the AI-native platform for creative work, starting with the hardest creative workflow: professional video. In roughly six months, our team built a native C++ editor and a headless media runtime that humans, agents, and developers all operate. Oz, our agent, ingests footage at roughly 300× real time and edits at 30–60× real time, and every change it makes stays inspectable, editable, and reversible.

Our philosophy is creative as code: every decision editable, controllable, composable, never generative slop you regenerate and hope for the best. Controllability over convenience. Artist integrity over automation. Taste over throughput.

Our sister company is Story, a production company making video for frontier AI labs and deep-tech companies. We work closely with them: Story is our first customer and in-house design partner, and its editors cut real client work on Wizard every day.

Our team comes from Industrial Light & Magic, Netflix, Apple, Epic Games, Lucasfilm, Blizzard, and 2K. We work in person in San Francisco.

Compensation

The base salary range for this role is $175,000 – $230,000. Your final offer will depend on your experience, skills and level.
