Principal Creative Director, AI Video

As the fastest-growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company in history, Deel is transforming how global talent connects with world-class companies – breaking down borders that have traditionally limited both hiring and career opportunities. In 2024 alone, we paid $11.2 billion to workers in nearly 100 currencies and provided healthcare and benefits to workers in 109 countries.

About The Studio: Deel is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and we're building the brand and creative studio to match. We make global campaigns, partnerships, film, design, and social at real scale, for businesses and for workers in almost every country there is.

The role: We're looking for a creative director who works at the front edge of AI-native production across video and design. You'd define how we make this work, and you'd prove it by making it. This is a hands-on role.

What You'll Make:

• AI-native creative, where generative tools are central to how it's made.
• Brand films, campaign work, and product storytelling that blend traditional and AI-led production.
• A repeatable method that the rest of the team can use.

What You Bring:

• At least ten years across video, motion, or design, with direction as well as production.
• Recent work made or directed with generative AI that stands up as creative work first.
• Proven ability to build a workflow other people can actually use.

What Would Set You Apart:

• A reel with range across live-action, motion, and generative work.
• Experience establishing an AI practice inside a creative team.
• A public point of view on AI in creative work.

Who You'll Work With: You'll sit inside the creative studio and work alongside our Creative Director, the video and motion teams, and the brand designers.

How We Work: We're a studio, not a request queue. People here make things rather than manage from a distance. We use AI seriously, and we're deliberate about where we don't.

Total Rewards: Our workforce deserves fair and competitive pay that meets them where they are. Salary ranges are quoted in USD as a consistent global reference. Your offer will be localized to your country's currency using a market-aligned conversion.

Some things you'll enjoy: Stock grant opportunities dependent on your role, employment status and location. Additional perks and benefits based on your employment status and country.

At Deel, we're an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, pregnancy or maternity or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
