YOUR ROLE

EverAI is launching a new vertical short drama studio, powered by a proprietary AI production stack. We're hiring a Head of Studio to own the slate, lead the team, and define what this studio becomes, reporting directly to the CEO and CTO.

This is primarily a creative leadership role (70% creative vs 30% operational). We are not hiring an executive who oversees from a distance. The right person gives notes, shapes scripts, holds the quality bar, and owns delivery simultaneously. If you've scaled vertical drama at a known player and want to do it again with better tools and more autonomy, this is the seat.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

- Own the slate: greenlight, shape, and pressure-test every series before production (5–10 concurrent, scaling)

- Run the writers' room and script review process — every hook, cliffhanger, and episode beat passes through you

- Own production throughput: how many series we ship per quarter, at what quality, at what cost per episode

- Define and enforce the production playbook: timelines, milestones, handoffs between script, generation, edit, and finishing

- Lead and grow our team of directors; support recruiting additional directors and writers from the vertical drama ecosystem

- Translate platform performance data (retention, completion, conversion) into creative direction without flattening the work into a formula

- Partner with the AI Content and tech teams to keep the pipeline moving and push for tooling improvements

- Report directly to the CEO and CTO on slate performance, team capacity, and strategic bets

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

HARD SKILLS

- 5+ years in short-form or episodic content, with 2–3 years in a senior leadership role (Post-Production Supervisor, Senior Lead Editor, Showrunner, etc.)

- You've scaled vertical drama at a known player — results visible in the catalog

- Track record of personally shepherding multiple series from concept to launch with measurable audience performance

- Fluid across the full arc — from writing to post-production, not siloed into one half

- You know the vertical drama playbook cold: the beats, the genres that convert, the casting logic, the trailer formula, the platform mechanics

- Existing relationships with directors, writers, and producers in the vertical drama ecosystem

- Hands-on with AI generation tools (Runway, Kling AI, Seedance, Happy Horse, etc.) — you see AI as leverage, not threat, and you understand that continuity challenges in AI production require a different creative calibration than live-action

SOFT SKILLS

🗣 Communication: Perfectly fluent in English; clear, direct feedback — your directors always know where they stand

🎯 Ownership: You hold a creative bar and a delivery deadline simultaneously, without dropping either

⚡️ Doer mindset: You'll be in cuts, in scripts, in dailies — not just in meetings

⏱️ Speed: Studio speed, not legacy-Hollywood speed

🧢 Direct but humble: You give clear feedback, you're open to learning a new production model

🛠 Builder-minded: This is a new studio — you'll define processes that don't exist yet
