R/GA
Shape the creative direction of an industry-leading studio at the forefront of AI-native storytelling. Lead a talented team of editors, animators, motion designers, and AI artists to redefine production at the intersection of human creativity and emerging technology.
About the Role
As Editorial Director, you’ll help shape the creative direction and craft culture of R/GA's Studio while staying hands-on in the work. You’re a filmmaker with standout taste and a proven portfolio—someone who moves fluidly between vision and execution, inspiring the editorial team to do the best work of their careers. You think strategically about editorial workflows, AI integration, and scalable creative processes, and you’re not afraid to jump into Premiere, After Effects, or generative tools to make the work better.
What You Will Do
Define and evolve the editorial voice and aesthetic for the studio; serve as a creative thought partner with leadership and clients
Lead by example: jump into editorial, motion, and AI tools when it elevates the work
Mentor and inspire the editorial team to take creative risks and push themselves
Review work across the studio, giving direction that makes pieces sharper and more intentional
Shape how we approach AI-native storytelling—balancing innovation with craft and narrative first principles
Build and define editorial workflows that integrate generative tools strategically in service of the story
Contribute to recruitment and hiring decisions that strengthen the team
Foster a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and excellence
What We Are Looking For
10+ years of professional editorial experience across broadcast, advertising, high end content, or film
Expert proficiency in Premiere Pro and After Effects; fluency across emerging AI platforms
Proven leadership: you've mentored editors, led creative teams, or shaped production direction
A standout portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual storytelling, pacing, rhythm, and sound/image integration
Strategic thinking about production pipelines, workflows, and scaling creative teams
Deep knowledge of AI tools and platforms; you stay current and excited about the space
Strong communication skills: you brief teams, give clear direction, and manage expectations
Collaborative approach to working across design, animation, production, technology, and leadership
Fluent in English (comprehension and speaking)
If you’re a filmmaker who understands craft and innovation amplify each other, a leader who inspires through example—and a builder who wants to shape the future of production at a forward-thinking studio, we want to hear from you.
