About the job

We’re Jubilee Media.

At Jubilee, we're on a mission to provoke understanding and create human connection. We explore experiences that push people to feel more, think more, and see more in others. We challenge the belief of a black-and-white world, and instead embrace the complexity and richness of our experiences. By magnifying these stories we can discover personal identities, shared truths, and how we fit in the overarching human story. People are at the heart of everything we do, and we're looking for the next passionate teammate to join us on this journey. Together, we have the power to shift perspectives—and maybe even change the world.

About This Role

We're building a slate of original short-form formats for Jubilee and nectar: net-new IP designed to stand on its own, grow our channels, and give brand partners real ways to participate.

As our Short-Form Director, you'll own that slate end to end. You'll develop and greenlight formats, produce them, and iterate based on how they perform. You'll work alongside our Creative, Production, Brand Marketing, and Brand Partnerships teams to get formats made and sold. This is a builder role. The slate is early, the process isn't fully defined yet, and you'll have real influence over what we make and how we make it!

What You’ll Do:

Build the slate

Develop original, repeatable short-form formats for Jubilee and nectar, from concept through publish

Pressure-test ideas against what's actually producible given our schedules, budgets, and studio space

Kill ideas that don't work, quickly, and be clear about why

Produce

Own formats through pre-production, production, and post, working with our Production, Casting, and Post teams

Scope each format realistically: shoot days, cast needs, crew, and budget

Build production plans that our teams can actually execute alongside our long-form slate

Be on camera

Host, interview, and appear in formats where you're the right person to carry them

Build formats that can travel beyond you, so the slate isn't dependent on a single face

Give direction

Provide real feedback and direction to the team members contributing to short-form work

Set the bar for what a Jubilee or nectar short-form format looks and feels like

Partner with Brand Partnerships

Develop formats that are audience-first and genuinely attractive to brands

Work with the BP team on how integrations live inside a format without compromising it

Be a credible creative voice in front of partners when needed

Learn and iterate

Use performance data to decide what gets another season, what gets reworked, and what gets shelved

Stay ahead of platform shifts, emerging formats, and what's actually working in short-form

Who You Are:

2-3 years in content creation, short-form, or unscripted development and production, with formats you can point to

You've taken original formats from idea to published, not just executed someone else's vision

Real production literacy: you understand shoot days, call sheets, casting, crew, and what things cost

Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, retention, and what makes someone stop scrolling

Deep fluency in TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and in the culture that moves on them

Experience with branded or sponsored content, and a point of view on doing it without making it feel like an ad

You can give clear creative feedback to people who don't report to you, and hold a room with production and partnerships

Comfortable and compelling on camera as a host or interviewer, with work you can show us

Hands-on enough to cut a rough edit yourself when it's faster than explaining it (Premiere, CapCut, or similar)

Nice to have

Experience building a slate or a format pipeline from scratch

Familiarity with the creator economy and creator collaborations
