Creative Director – Social Video Strategy & Production

Zator Media is hiring a Creative Director with proven experience leading short-form video strategy at scale.

This role is for someone who has already operated in a high-output content environment and can demonstrate measurable results. We are not hiring based on potential — we are hiring based on execution history.

If you have not directly led content strategy, managed editors, and driven performance through short-form video, this will not be the right fit.

About Zator Media
Zator Media is a social-first video agency serving high-level service professionals — attorneys, physicians, consultants, and founders generating multi-million-dollar annual revenue.

Our clients rely on us to turn expertise into authority-building content that drives business growth. We operate quickly, maintain high standards, and prioritize strategic clarity over trend-chasing.

We are scaling aggressively and need a Creative Director who can maintain and elevate our output quality as volume increases.
