Our founder, Ryan Hashemi, built Jubilee to 14 million subscribers, has 4 Emmy nominations, and even trained the person who now is the CEO of MrBeast's studio. Our team comes from iconic names like WIRED, Vogue, Mini Katana (18M+ subs), and other influential YouTube brands.\n(Learn more about Ryan's journey here:https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7262864813221888000/)\nNow we're helping the world's biggest brands crack the code on YouTube and make content that people actually want to watch at scale.\nWe lead YouTube creative and content programming as a strategic channel. We staff and train in-house YouTube teams for clients, hiring video producers, editors, and strategists, and build long-form storytelling systems designed to compound over time. The result: evergreen content that earns millions of views, builds loyal audiences, and drives conversions.\nWhy This Is Exciting\nAfter stepping down from Jubilee, Ryan is betting everything on Snowball, and that bet is already paying off.\nThe world's biggest brands know YouTube is the next frontier, they just need the right partner to help them win.\nThat's where you come in.\nYour Role: Director\nAs a Director at Snowball, you own the creative vision for YouTube content made for some of the biggest brands in the world. You'll shape what a video is before it's shot, direct it on set, and steer it through the edit, holding a single creative point of view from concept to final cut.\nYou'll work closely with our producers, strategists, editors, and channel leads to develop formats, set the creative bar, and build videos designed to hold attention, drive retention, and scale channels through repeatable, high-performing structures. This role is ideal for a director who thinks in stories and systems, and who is excited to own creative outcomes rather than just execute against a brief.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the creative vision end to end for every video you're assigned\n\nDevelop formats, mechanisms, and structure alongside the Snowball team\n\nBuild creative outlines that map how a video will look once shot and edited: intro, title cards, format beats, specific insights, and outro; and present them for review ahead of filming\n\nBuild shot lists and set the visual vision for filming locations\n\nAttend casting calls and align talent on creative needs and expectations\n\nIdentify props, set decoration, and any assets needed on set (clips, images, music)\n\nPartner with the DP to set the look and technical expectations for each shoot\n\nEnsure every video aligns with Snowball's YouTube best practices: confirming title and thumbnail options before shooting, identifying and paying off the promise of the video, crafting an optimized intro, and building for value, retention, and insight\n\nDevise and execute creative elevations and confirm all must-haves are captured\n\nDirect all creative on set\n\nBuild the paper-cut and edit outline that sets the editor up for success\n\nWork closely with editors through the edit, owning notes and creative direction across every cut\n\nIncorporate notes from Snowball and brand partners in Frame.io, turning notes around no later than one day after a cut is delivered\n\nMaintain consistency across episodes, formats, and recurring series\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n5+ years directing video content with a strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling craft (required). YouTube experience is strongly preferred.\n\nProven track record developing formats and creative concepts that perform, not just executing someone else's vision\n\nStrong understanding of YouTube pacing, structure, retention tactics, and platform best practices\n\nExperience directing educational, narrative, branded, or documentary-style long-form content\n\nExperience running a set and directing talent, crew, and DPs\n\nFluency in the post process - able to build a paper-cut, give precise edit notes, and guide an editor to the intended cut\n\nComfort working in fast-paced environments with competing client priorities and tight timelines\n\nClear, direct communicator who can align producers, editors, strategists, and brand stakeholders\n\nStrong attention to detail and organization across pre-production docs, shot lists, and asset needs\n\nPassion for YouTube and curiosity about what makes content perform\n\nWhat We Offer\n$10,000-$14,000 per month\n\nContract engagement with a clear path to full-time hire\n\nRemote-Hybrid flexible\n\nDirect mentorship from the co-founders\n\nGround-floor opportunity at a fast-growing company\n\nOur Values\nWork hard, learn harder\n\nBe effectively proactive\n\nOverdeliver for clients\n\nBe kind by being clear\n\nA+ players only\n\nReady To Apply?\nResumes are great and all, but we'd love to see something creative that shows who you are and why you're excited about this role. We want to see the real you, what makes you unique, passionate, and ready to help us build the future of content marketing.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5170,"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":["Social Media Marketing","Marketing Automation","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T01:17:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.505,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":94,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T03:16:27Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":168000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/snowball-director-snowball","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/snowball-director-snowball.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T03:16:27Z","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":6808,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":62893},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=62893"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsnowball-director-snowball"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fsnowball-director-snowball"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fsnowball-director-snowball"},{"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/snowball-director-snowball\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsnowball-director-snowball"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4211937}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"snowball.club","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4211937},"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.
