Creative Producer/Director - MangoBaaz

[b]About Lab8[/b] Lab 8 is a productized content execution company helping fast-growing US brands scale content through clean systems, high-quality creative, and lean teams. We’re not a traditional agency. We run like a machine. We’re seeking a Creative Producer/Director to lead the strategic vision and execution of content across the client’s social platforms. This is a hands-off creative leadership role; you’ll define the why and what, not the how (no writing/designing/editing). You’ll orchestrate bold, culturally savvy ideas while leveraging AI tools (like Google Veo3 AI and Kling AI) to innovate video production. [b]This Role Is For You If You: [/b] [b]Get It[/b] You live and breathe creative leadership. You’ve navigated agencies, managed high-stakes client expectations, and led teams without hand-holding. You know how to align creative vision with business goals and you’re fluent in the unspoken rules of U.S.-led digital culture. AI tools? Already in your toolkit. [b]Want It [/b] You’re here to build, not just execute. You want ownership, to shape a brand’s voice, collaborate directly with a founder, and grow something ambitious. You’re not looking for a passive role; you’re hungry to lead, innovate, and leave a mark. [b]Capacity to Do It[/b] You’re battle-tested. You can juggle fast-turn projects, mentor creatives, and keep cool under pressure. This isn’t your first rodeo, you’re ready to hit the ground running (on US hours, full-time, no side gigs). Distractions? Zero tolerance.
