Creative Director / Editorial Lead (AI Video Quality)
VIDRUSH AI STUDIOS LLP • United Kingdom
Posted: January 19, 2026
Job Description
VidRush is an AI-native video production platform that replaces an entire video team with coordinated AI agents.
Creators turn a simple idea into a fully produced, long-form video—research, script, voiceover, visuals, motion graphics, and rendering—in under an hour. No timelines. No editing headaches. Just intent → finished video.
We’re building a new way to create video that feels more like writing than editing, and we’re already seeing strong traction from serious creators and media teams.
If you’re excited about AI, creator tools, and building category-defining products from first principles, you’ll fit right in.
The Role
We’re hiring a Creative Director (AI YouTube Video Quality) to define what “great” looks like and guide our team toward consistently producing human-quality YouTube edits.
This is not a traditional editor job where you edit everything yourself.
Instead, you’ll review AI-generated videos and coach our developers on how to improve them — similar to how elite YouTube editors and creative strategists mentor creator teams.
You will own the creative standards and help us build repeatable systems so quality improves every week.
What You’ll Do
1) Review & Diagnose Video Quality
Review generated videos and identify what’s working vs. what’s failing
Spot issues in pacing, story beats, retention, clarity, tone, and visual cohesion
Catch common failure patterns (awkward transitions, mismatched B-roll, generic motion graphics, inconsistent style, etc.)
Give direct, high-signal critique — the kind a strong editor gives in a team review
2) Define the Creative Standard
Create a clear “minimum viable quality” standard for outputs
Build a style bible / guidelines around:
pacing rules
structure & beats
transitions
motion graphics consistency
visual style cohesion
documentary/storytelling principles
Define what “human quality” means in a way that can be measured and improved
3) Coach the Team
Translate editorial feedback into actionable direction engineers can implement
Provide examples, references, and patterns (what to do vs. what to avoid)
Run weekly feedback sessions with the team
Help non-editor developers build stronger creative instincts
4) Improve the Motion Graphics / Style System
Direct the evolution of our motion graphics library and overall visual style
Ensure cohesion (fonts, timing, visual language, rhythm)
Define SOPs for how visuals should support narrative beats
Align style across outputs so it feels consistent and intentional
Who You Are
You likely have:
Strong experience editing or directing YouTube content with real retention instincts
A sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, narrative beats, and visual storytelling
Strong taste in motion graphics and visual cohesion
The ability to explain why something feels wrong and how to fix it
The ability to coach others — you can mentor editors or non-editors effectively
High standards + direct feedback style (we want someone who is critical)
We don’t mind if you’re critical of AI — in fact, that’s a plus.
The goal is to reach junior-to-mid human editor quality through strong direction and iteration.
Nice to Have
Experience with faceless documentary / video essay formats
Motion graphics experience (After Effects, templates, libraries)
Experience leading or training editing teams
Experience with SOP creation and production workflows
Strong understanding of what top creators do differently (beat timing, retention, pacing shifts)
How We Work
Small team, high ownership
We ship fast, measure results, and iterate weekly
You’ll work closely with founders and the dev team
Your feedback directly shapes what we build next
