About this opportunity
Plotsy lists this Senior Director opportunity in town of texas, Wisconsin. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
Your mission is to set the absolute craft standard for scene work across all Plotsy productions and build the directors who meet it. While a traditional Director Editor simply makes the scenes they are assigned, the Senior Director ensures that every single scene Plotsy produces is excellent, cohesive, and crafted by a team that is continuously improving. You bridge the gap between creative intuition and objective, scalable standards.
How You Will Spend Your Time
40% Elite Directing & Execution: Personally cracking the hardest sequences, handling heavy dialogue, and directing style-setting pilot episodes.
40% Mentorship & Coaching: Reviewing Director Editors' work, running live screen-share training, and leading role-specific talent acquisition.
20% Standards & Process Ownership: Defining written craft metrics, enforcing quality gates, and partnering with engineers to evolve the AI pipeline.
Daily Responsibilities
Generate Elite Scenes: Direct and assembly-cut narrative scenes to the highest benchmark in the company.
Refine Model Performance: Command high-precision AI model outputs for emotional registers, eyelines, and lipsync.
Bypass Prompt Limits: Take over complex blocking or heavy dialogue scenes where standard prompting fails.
Conduct Scene Reviews: Critique Director Editors' work early to catch errors while they are cheap to fix.
Lead Live Training: Run hands-on, screen-shared coaching sessions while narrating your creative decisions.
Drive Alignment: Keep the craft bar consistent across different titles, regardless of which director is assigned.
Document Standards: Author clear, objective definitions of what "approved" work looks like with real pass/fail examples.
Enforce Quality Gates: Hold the line on quality under tight deadlines, escalating schedule costs to the Showrunner and CPO when necessary.
Optimize the Pipeline: Feed successful directing workflows to the Principal AI Production Engineer to upgrade production rulesets.
What You Must Bring
Narrative Directing Body of Work: Substantial experience directing finished, long-form narrative content (not just fragments).
NLE Editorial Proficiency: Genuine, hands-on assembly cutting mastery in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid.
Generative Tool Mastery: Deep experience with AI video/image platforms, reference conditioning, seed management, and artifact cleanup.
Flawless Performance Instinct: The ability to instantly spot a false performance, name the exact failure, and teach someone how to fix it.
Standards-Based Thinking: The skill to turn subjective creative taste into actionable, objective written criteria.
Deadline Discipline : The judgment to know exactly when a scene lands so production schedules stay on track.
Radical Candor: The ability to tell a talented creator their work isn't landing in a way that makes them better rather than defensive.
