About the Role:We’re looking for a
Senior Director, Content
who knows how to take a creative idea and turn it into a piece of work people actually want to watch.
You’re a director and producer at heart. You understand performance, casting, camera, lighting, edit, rhythm and production – but you also understand the realities of making social content quickly, intelligently and at very different scales.
You know when an idea needs a phone, a great performer and half a day. You know when it needs a proper treatment, crew and production partner. And you know how to tell the difference early enough to make the work better.
You’ll lead the content‑making craft across Cossette’s social teams, helping shape how ideas come to life, setting the standard for our in‑house filmmaking, and building a stronger bench of Content Creators and emerging directors around you.
Sometimes you’ll direct the work yourself. More often, you’ll help someone else direct it better.
We’re looking for someone with real making experience, not just oversight. Someone who has been in the edit, on the floor, behind the camera and in the conversations where ambition meets budget. Someone with enough taste and production judgment to know what matters, what doesn’t, and where to push.
Ultimately, your job is to raise the ceiling of what we can make internally and raise the people making it with you.
