We have more than 100 videos in production across clients right now. Our current setup of agencies, freelancers and an overstretched producer isn't scaling on quality or cost. You'll fix that. That means sourcing the right partners, setting the quality bar, building the workflow, and standing behind the work with clients.\nThe work doesn't look like a traditional brand shoot. Our videos are built to be found and cited. That means YouTube videos, social-friendly clips, expert interviews and explainers that answer the questions buyers ask AI. Clarity and usefulness matter more than production polish.\nAbout Foundation\nFoundation helps B2B tech and SaaS brands get found, cited and recommended when buyers ask AI for solutions. We do the research, content, distribution and optimization that build a brand's presence where AI and buyers look: LLMs, search, Reddit and YouTube. We work with B2B brands across SaaS, HR and payroll tech, financial services, insurance and higher education.\nYouTube is one of the sources AI tools regularly cite. Video done well makes our clients more likely to show up in the answer.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn video quality standards and the QA process across every video we ship, from script to final cut.\nSource, vet and manage video vendors and freelancers (editors, scriptwriters, creators). Hold them to quality, turnaround and cost.\nBuild a repeatable production workflow, including in-house editing and scriptwriting where it beats outsourcing on quality or cost.\nTrack cost per video and keep the program inside budget.\nCoach our creative producer and video strategists on production, feedback and client handling.\nBe the expert in the room with clients. Explain why a video is built for discovery, and push back on feedback that would hurt performance (talent choice, length, format).\nTest AI-assisted editing and scripting tools, and adopt the ones that hold up to our quality bar.\nWhat you bring\n10+ years in video or film production, including creative director or senior producer roles.\nExperience running video at volume across multiple vendors and freelancers.\nA working knowledge of YouTube: titles, hooks, retention, search and how videos get discovered.\nConfidence with clients. You can defend a creative call to a senior marketer and keep the relationship strong.\nA practical take on AI video tools. You know where they save time and where they fall short.\nComfort working fractionally: async-first, decisive, and focused on the highest-leverage problems.\nFirst 90 days\nA video QA checklist and review process used on every video before it ships.\nA vendor audit covering quality, cost per video and turnaround, with a recommendation for each vendor.\nA documented production workflow from brief to publish, including the in-house editing and scripting pilots.\nA cost-per-video baseline and target, agreed with leadership.\nHow we'll measure success\nFewer revision rounds and faster turnaround from brief to publish.\nCost per video at or under target.\nVideo budget held as a percentage of revenue.\nClient satisfaction on video deliverables, and fewer escalations about video.\nCompensation\nHourly rate: $45-$65 depending on experience and location\nHow to apply\nFill in Culture Index survey: https://surveys.cultureindex.com/s/4kEG9f2LvZ/125024 \nApply through the application form","description_format":"text","description_chars":3505,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"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"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T06:19:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.574,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:05:44Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":130000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/foundation-fractional-video-director","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/foundation-fractional-video-director.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T05:05:44Z","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":8882,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"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":47543},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47543"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffoundation-fractional-video-director"},{"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%2Ffoundation-fractional-video-director"},{"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%2Ffoundation-fractional-video-director"},{"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/foundation-fractional-video-director\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffoundation-fractional-video-director"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3790200}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"foundation.app","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3790200},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
