Job Description

About The Role Descript makes creating beautifully designed video as easy as creating docs and slides. Its text-based editing, automated design, and AI superpowers enable communicators to record, edit, and share professional-quality video without professional video skills. And teams in marketing, sales, support, and learning & development use Descript to scale their video production without scaling their teams or their budgets. We're looking for a Creative Director - someone who brings together creative vision, a commitment to craft, and a proven approach to team operations. This person knows how to lead teams to consistently produce outstanding work and deepen their skills…and their track record proves it. In their own creative work, they excel at simplifying complex ideas and turning cutting-edge technologies into stories that are engaging and easy to grasp. This role is for someone who doesn't just direct from the sidelines: you're a play coach, ready to roll up your sleeves, jump into the work, and push the brand forward with originality and craft.

You think in color, layout, and movement Proven operational experience — you can bring structure, clarity, and calm to fast-moving projects and teams Collaborative, open, friendly, and curious Bonus if you've worked on AI products The base salary range for this role is $195,000 - $220,000. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, and location, and they may vary from the amount above. About Descript Descript is building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio — an editing tool built for the age of AI. We are a team of 150 — with a proven CEO and the backing of some of the world's greatest investors (OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, Redpoint Ventures, Spark Capital). Descript is the special company that's in possession of both product market fit and the raw materials (passionate user community, great product, large market) for growth, but is still early enough that each new employee has a measurable influence on the direction of the company. Benefits include a generous healthcare package, catered lunches, and flexible vacation time. Our headquarters are located in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. We're looking to hire people who are local and able to join us at the office when needed. We're flexible, and you're an adult—we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day. But we do believe there are valuable and serendipitous moments of discovery and collaboration that come from working together in person. Descript is an equal opportunity workplace—we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We believe in actively building a team rich in diverse backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to better allow our employees, products, and community to thrive. #J-18808-Ljbffr Descript
