Ad Age recently described us as \"if Omnicom was rebuilt on AI.\" Your job is to turn a line like that into a show the market watches and repeats back to us. The split is roughly 80% Darkroom, 20% Shadow.\nWe are making a category bet on the forward-deployed marketer, the operator who sits inside a business and builds with AI rather than briefing the work out. Video is where we make that case: a weekly long-form show and podcast, and the short-form cut from it. You own that show end to end, from the idea to the conversation on camera.\nYou'll report to our VP of Marketing, who sets direction and makes the calls. This is a senior individual contributor role, not a people-management one. You decide what the show is about, who we talk to, and what angle we take, then you sit in the host's chair.\nYou are the on-camera face of our content, in the studio and at events. You don't record, shoot or edit; our video team does.\nThis is a New York-based role operating in the EST Time Zone, on-site at our NYC office, and all business is conducted 100% in English.\nCompensation: The salary for this role is $110,000 per year. It applies to candidates based in New York, including New York City, in compliance with the New York State Pay Transparency Law and the New York City Salary Transparency Law.\nWhat you'll do\nThe Weekly Show: Our long-form video show and podcast, every week. The concept, the formats and the editorial line that makes each episode worth an operator's hour.\n\nGuests & Angles: Decide who we talk to and why. Find the angle only they can give us and turn it into a sharp outline or script.\n\nHosting & Interviewing: Host and interview founders, clients and operators in our NYC studio. You lead the conversation and get the moments nobody else gets.\n\nOn Stage at Events: Represent Darkroom and Shadow at events: host panels, interview guests on stage and on camera.\n\nShort-Form Ideas: Pick the moments that become clips. Write the hooks, titles and cutdown ideas so one episode becomes a week of short-form across our channels.\n\nBrand Narrative: Define and defend what Darkroom and Shadow say: the positioning, the category bet, and the point of view that runs through every episode and everything cut from it.\n\nWritten Thought Leadership: Turn the best ideas from each episode into LinkedIn posts and short articles.\n\nSupporting the Wider Team: Help shape newsletter, paid and campaign messaging with the team.\n\nYou should apply if this sounds like you\n5+ years in content, brand or media, mostly in-house at a software, B2B or tech company, with B2B or pipeline accountability. An agency-only background is not the fit.\n\nYou have hosted a show. A recurring video series, podcast or interview format, built and run by you. You are at your best on camera and on stage, and you get guests to say something new. Send the links.\n\nYou think in episodes and formats. You know how to structure an hour-long conversation, and you know which 40 seconds of it will travel.\n\nYou can write: outlines, scripts, hooks, and the post that sells the episode.\n\nYou have owned content that was accountable to a business number. You can explain how an episode becomes views, traffic, and leads.\n\nYou know this world. DTC, e-commerce, performance marketing, social commerce, AI tooling. You can interview an operator about TikTok Shop, retention, or attribution without a briefing and without getting it wrong.\n\nYou give a video team direction and feedback that makes the next cut better.\n\nYou arrive with a list. In the first interview, we will ask what you would change about our show, our clips, and our LinkedIn. We expect specifics.\n\nYou already work with Claude, ChatGPT, or similar daily and have shipped real work with them. We are a Claude-first company.\n\nHard disqualifiers\nNo hosted video or podcast work you can link to.\n\nNo published writing or no portfolio link.\n\nContent experience with no accountability for pipeline.\n\nEqual Opportunity Statement\nDarkroom is an equal opportunity workplace-we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national orientation, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4520,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Creative Agencies","E-commerce Marketing","Social Commerce","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T21:24:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.853,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":17,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":110000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/darkroom-director-content","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/darkroom-director-content.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T18:04:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3006,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3445},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3445"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdarkroom-director-content"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdarkroom-director-content"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdarkroom-director-content"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/darkroom-director-content\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdarkroom-director-content"}]}
