Job Summary

Owns video as both a performance and brand growth engine - from reels that drive discovery to explainers that build trust, ads that convert, and event films that shape reputation. This is a hybrid creative–strategic role for someone who thrives on experimentation, understands the mechanics of storytelling, and knows how to translate emotion into engagement. You’ll lead a dynamic video team that switches between formats, audiences, and platforms daily - ensuring that every campaign has video at its core.

In addition to traditional production, you’ll be among the first in the organisation to build and deploy fully AI-generated videos - creating high-quality explainers, product demos, and event content without needing cameras, studios, or large production budgets. The role combines creative direction, data-led iteration, and a hands-on approach to building Medhavi’s video-first brand narrative.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee planning, shooting, editing, and deployment of all video assets across channels.
• Lead the creation of AI-generated videos for explainers, campaigns, testimonials, and internal storytelling - leveraging tools like Runway, Pika, Synthesia, or HeyGen.
• Mentor video editors and producers, ensuring brand and creative consistency across outputs.
• Collaborate with Social Media for reels/stories, Growth for ads and campaigns, and PR/Brand for event and leadership content.
• Approve scripts, storyboards, and voiceovers with the Copy Lead prior to production.
• Build and maintain the video playbook, covering formats such as testimonials, reels, explainers, leadership talks, and events.
• Run structured experiments with new video formats, transitions, and emerging storytelling trends.
• Use AI video editing and enhancement tools for subtitling, resizing, voice modulation, dubbing, and scene generation.
• Maintain a centralised and searchable library of raw footage, AI assets, templates, and published content.
• Analyse performance data (CTR, watch time, conversion) and implement creative optimisations.
• Collaborate with Martech and Analytics teams to connect video performance with funnel impact.

Qualifications

• 6–9 years leading video production for high-growth brands or creative agencies.
• Proven expertise in both short- and long-form storytelling tied to measurable outcomes (CTR, conversions, retention).
• Deep familiarity with AI video tools such as Synthesia, Runway, Pika Labs, HeyGen, and Descript for end-to-end generation and editing.
• Hands-on experience with traditional production workflows (shoot planning, editing, post-production).
• Strong grasp of creative direction, lighting, audio, and post-processing - even when simulated through AI.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite or equivalent editing tools.
• Strong data orientation with the ability to link creative performance to funnel metrics.
• Degree/Diploma in Film, Media, Visual Communication, or Design preferred; certifications in AI or creative tech are a plus.
• A creative technologist at heart - equally comfortable directing human shoots and designing AI-powered video systems that scale storytelling.
