Monks is hiring: Senior Creative – AI & Tech Innovation (Social First) in Los An

Monks, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Salary min: $95,000.00

Salary max: $105,000.00


About The Role


We are looking for a senior creative who can write ideas and also make them. This is a hybrid role for someone who can concept social-first campaigns, write scripts and copy, and create content through both traditional production and AI platforms.


This person should be deeply AI-native — someone with strong prompting skills and a real instinct for using AI to develop ideas, iterate quickly, rework copy, and create compelling visuals and videos with speed and quality. They should understand the AI landscape, stay current with emerging tools and culture, and have a portfolio that reflects strong AI-driven creative work. Just as importantly, they should also be a creator themselves — comfortable shooting their own content, directing scrappy social-first shoots with talent, and helping bring ideas to life in a hands-on way.


They will work closely with a Creative Director, Art Director, editors, motion graphics artists, and a Creative Technologist as part of a small, fast-moving team focused on AI product launches. This is not a management role, but it does require independence, initiative, and the ability to thrive under tight timelines.


Responsibilities



  • Develop Ideas and Execute Them: Create social-first campaign ideas and help bring them to life through writing, filming, and content creation.

  • Write Across Formats: Scripts, social copy, campaign lines, presentation language, and narrative framing that turn product stories into engaging creative.

  • Create Content Traditionally and with AI: Filming, directing, and capturing social assets traditionally while also using AI platforms to generate content, mockups, visuals, videos, and creative explorations.

  • Use AI Tools as Part of the Creative Process: Actively use AI tools to concept, write, iterate, prototype, and create social-first content quickly.

  • Create Social-First Content at Speed: Use AI tooling to quickly create, test, and refine content designed for social platforms while maintaining strong taste, clarity, and creative quality.

  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with a Creative Director, Art Director, editors, motion graphics artists, and a Creative Technologist to develop ideas and shape them through execution.

  • Pitch and Present Ideas: Clearly communicate concepts and the thinking behind them to internal teams and clients.

  • Translate Product into Culture: Turn product features, launches, and technical capabilities into ideas that feel relevant, human, and made for social platforms.

  • Prototype Early: Use fast content creation, test shoots, AI-generated outputs, and rough creative builds to make ideas tangible early in development.

  • Contribute in a Fast-Paced Environment: Thrive in a team built around speed, flexibility, and quick creative turnarounds while maintaining strong thinking and attention to craft.


About You



  • Strong Writing and Concepting Skills: Develop clear, compelling creative ideas and write them well across formats.

  • Hands-On Content Creation Experience: Create content yourself, including filming, directing, or producing social-first assets.

  • Fluency in Traditional and AI-Based Creation: Make content through traditional methods and using AI platforms to generate images, video, and creative outputs.

  • Strong AI Tool Fluency: Proficient in prompting and using AI tools to create compelling visuals, videos, mockups, and creative explorations.

  • Passion for AI and Technology: Deeply engaged in AI, following its evolution and culture closely.

  • Social-First Instincts: Know how content should feel on social and create platform-aware, culturally relevant ideas.

  • Collaborative Working Style: Work well with a multidisciplinary team and build ideas in partnership with different creative disciplines.

  • Independence and Follow-Through: Take a brief, find creative angles quickly, and move work forward without constant direction.

  • Comfort with Speed and Deadlines: Thrive in fast-moving environments with tight timelines.

  • Client-Facing Communication Skills: Speak clearly about ideas, explain your thinking, and present confidently.
