Job description

Type: Full-time

Reports to: Founder & CEO

Experience: 1 to 5 years, or whatever it took to make a reel this good

WHO WE ARE

This role supports two companies attacking some of the biggest problems in the world.

Cosign is the fastest growing prop-tech company in the United States, revolutionizing the $4 trillion rental industry with a market-leading, one-of-a-kind cosigner solution. Our mission is to expand housing access for renters and boost occupancy for landlords.

Our affiliated platform is a venture-backed technology company rebuilding the infrastructure behind a multi-trillion-dollar industry that has remained largely unchanged for decades. It just closed the largest pre-seed in insurtech history, backed by Tier 1 VCs and the largest strategics in the space. It is operating in extreme stealth ahead of launch, so we can share much more once we connect.

Both companies serve institutional clients. Our content has to be sharp enough to earn their trust and technical enough to explain what we are building.

THE ROLE

We believe video and media will be the single biggest driver of growth for both companies. We are looking for the Video & Media Specialist who builds that engine from the ground up and owns it.

You will set the creative vision and execute it across every medium: executive content and campaigns, podcasts, technical explainers, customer stories, and ad-hoc video. Our clients are institutional, so the bar is high and the content is technical. You will make complex ideas clear, cinematic, and impossible to ignore.

You will also stay close to what is happening in content and culture, spotting emerging formats and social trends early. From day-in-the-life content and ad-hoc video campaigns to polished corporate and tech-style videos, we want someone who can recognize an opportunity and execute quickly, turning ideas and trends into relevant, high-quality content while they still matter.

Creative freedom is unlimited. This is a player-coach role: you make the work yourself first, then hire and lead the team that scales it. The title is real on day one. We are betting on trajectory, not tenure.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Creative vision and growth: Define how both brands look, sound, and show up on video. Track what drives reach, engagement, and pipeline, and double down on what works.
• Executive and campaign content: Lead flagship campaigns, launches, and the CEO's media presence.
• The podcast: Own The Unordinary's Podcast end to end, from guest strategy and filming to edit, distribution, and audience growth.
• Technical storytelling: Create the visual language for explaining real estate, insurance, and capital markets, with motion graphics, data visualizations, and animated diagrams built in.
• Customer and ad-hoc video: Ship fast, high-quality customer stories and on-demand content for sales and partners.
• Production and AI workflows: Run the NYC studio and build an AI-powered pipeline that multiplies output without lowering the bar.
• The team: Hire and develop editors, motion designers, and freelancers as we scale.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 90 days: You have shipped work you are proud of across every medium, set the visual standard for both brands, and built a production rhythm that runs without fire drills.
• First 6 months: The podcast and executive content are growing measurably, our technical explainers are being used in real sales conversations, and you have started bringing on your first hires and freelancers.
• First year: You lead a small media team, video is a top driver of pipeline for both companies, and you have the best portfolio of your career.

WHO YOU ARE

You are obsessed. You see one of the biggest problems in the world the way we do, and you want to be the person who tells that story. You live, eat, and breathe this.

• High school dropout, recent grad, or PhD, all are welcome. We solve for maximum creativity, not credentials.
• A portfolio that proves taste and range: cinematic brand work, technical explainers, and short-form that performs.
• Hands-on across production: camera, lighting, audio, editing, and motion graphics.
• Strong creative opinions, defended well and updated fast when the data says otherwise.
• Energized by building from zero: no playbook, no team yet, full ownership.

WHAT YOU GET

• Aggressive base aligned with experience, plus founding-team equity.
• 100% of health insurance covered and top-of-market benefits.
• A real budget for gear, tools, and freelancers from day one, and the authority to spend it.
• Your name on the work. Credit, portfolio rights, and a public story to tell as the affiliated platform comes out of stealth.
• A direct line to the CEO. No layers between your ideas and a yes.
• Intensity that lasts. We work hard, and teammates regularly take time to work from abroad, go off the grid, and do what they need to stay at 100%.

Cosign and its affiliates are equal opportunity employers. We welcome applicants of every background and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
