  • Video Storyboarding: Create clear, dynamic, and sequential storyboards/animatics to map out video concepts, pacing, framing, and cinematic flow before production.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with marketers, designers, and external production teams to ensure a unified brand voice.

  • Hands-on Craft: Oversee and design key visual assets (mood boards, style frames, campaign layouts) and guide video production workflows.

  • Video Editing: Hands-on video editing skills (Premiere, After Effects) are a strong plus for rough-cutting concepts and pitching ideas dynamically.

  • Qualifications & Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience as an Art Director, Concept Artist, or Creative Lead within an agency or in-house brand team.

  • Storyboarding Expertise: Proven portfolio demonstrating advanced capability in visual storytelling and translating scripts/ideas into actionable storyboard frames.

  • Technical Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or equivalent) and sketching/storyboarding software.

  • Communication: Exceptional presentation and leadership skills; ability to pitch concepts effectively to stakeholders and clients.

  • Critical Skills: Proficient knowledge of video editing, motion design, and post-production pipelines.

  • CG Production: Have worked with and understand the fundamentals of how CG production flows.
