Role Overview
Shape the future of human transformation through media. As Director of Media, you will lead the strategic evolution of a prominent personal brand into a globally recognized, culturally resonant media entity under the Paradox umbrella. This is not a traditional content role—it’s a creative leadership position where storytelling, psychology, and performance analytics converge to redefine how personal development content is created and consumed.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the creative transformation of an established personal brand into a scalable, high-impact media organization with a distinct visual and narrative identity
- Develop and execute a dual-brand strategy that strengthens both the individual figurehead and the company brand without overlap or dilution
- Invent and launch disruptive content formats—documentaries, conceptual shorts, reality-style series—that challenge conventions in the self-improvement space
- Define platform-specific editorial strategies: depth-driven long-form content for YouTube, visually immersive storytelling for Instagram, and credibility-focused narratives for LinkedIn
- Own the full production lifecycle—from concept and scripting to final cut—ensuring every piece aligns with the overarching creative vision
- Recruit and integrate specialized talent such as motion designers, drone operators, and subject-matter experts to elevate production quality
- Act as creative director on set, managing scripts, direction, and performance logistics so the central figure can focus purely on delivery
- Lead and inspire an internal creative team—editors, designers, producers—by setting rhythm, standards, and a culture of relentless improvement
- Serve as the final artistic authority, ensuring all published content meets elite benchmarks in visual storytelling, sound design, and narrative pacing
- Collaborate closely with growth teams to develop content that drives measurable conversion, not just views
- Use data—retention curves, click-through rates, cost per lead—to kill underperforming content quickly and scale what resonates
Qualifications
- Proven success in scaling a media brand, YouTube channel, or personal platform to over 100,000 followers or millions of views
- Deep understanding of audience retention, virality mechanics, and behavioral psychology behind sharing
- Experience managing creative teams and elevating work from good to exceptional through precise, actionable feedback
- Exceptional scripting ability with a portfolio of high-performing, long-form content
- Strong narrative design skills, including crafting compelling hooks and sustaining engagement over extended durations
- Track record of creating content that drives business outcomes—sales, conversions, campaign success—not just engagement metrics
- Highly refined creative taste and zero tolerance for mediocrity in design or storytelling
- Demonstrated ability to lead by doing—stepping in to write, direct, or edit when necessary
- Resilient mindset: open to failure, data-driven iteration, and rapid pivoting without ego
- Native or bilingual proficiency in French, with full professional fluency in English for written and verbal communication
Work Environment & Benefits
- Fully remote-first culture with flexible hours—work from anywhere in the world
- Option to work from premium offices in Dubai, Paris, or Lisbon
- Company-provided Mac for seamless workflow
- Annual 350€ wellness stipend for gym memberships, dance classes, or mental health support
- 150€ yearly allowance for books or professional development
- Six one-on-one coaching sessions with a certified Paradox Coach for personal or career growth
- Opportunity to contribute to the Paradox Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering teenagers
- Surrounded by high-caliber peers in a culture that values autonomy, accountability, and continuous improvement
- Work on products used by millions to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives
- A culture that rejects conventional best practices in favor of creative disruption and bold experimentation
