Overview We’re looking for a highly experienced Manager, Film Direction to join our Brand Creative team. You’re a visual storyteller with serious chops—equal parts director, editor, and creative thinker. You’ve got 5+ years of experience behind the camera and in the edit bay, leading cinematic campaigns to social-first videos from concept to delivery. You know how to move fast without compromising quality. You know how to direct seasoned talent and real healthcare professionals. And you know how to cut a story that hits hard—whether it’s a 15-second evergreen product ad, 10-second social teaser, or a 3-minute brand anthem.

At FIGS, we don’t just create content. We build emotional connections through film. If you can direct with clarity, edit with purpose, and bring elevated, documentary-style storytelling to life with a distinct visual POV—we want to hear from you.

This role will manage a Video Editor.

What You’ll Do

Direct high-impact evergreen, brand, product, and storytelling films—from pre-pro through final delivery

Collaborate with all Brand Creative and Marketing Partners, Copywriters, and Producers to shape compelling narratives rooted in real Awesome Human experiences

Develop treatments and shot lists that elevate the story and reflect FIGS’ premium, authentic aesthetic

Partner with internal and external crews, editors, and post-production teams to scale output when needed

Qualifications

5+ years of professional film direction and editing experience in-house, at an agency, or production company

A standout portfolio that showcases documentary-style storytelling, product films, and editorial content

Deep experience working with branded content and/or fashion, lifestyle, or health-focused brands

Proficiency in Premiere Pro (bonus if you have After Effects or DaVinci)

A refined visual eye, strong editorial instincts, and a deep understanding of pacing, tone, and rhythm

Proven ability to lead and collaborate across disciplines with clarity and kindness

Confidence under pressure and adaptability when plans (inevitably) change
