Head of Content

Primordial Soup is a vertically integrated generative studio founded by acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky. Alongside the world’s leading generative artists and storytellers, we make original content and build the proprietary technology it runs on. Every project starts with a creator’s vision, and we give them the tools and team to bring stories that were once unimaginable to life.

The Role

As Head of Content, you’ll own the company’s content strategy and operations. We believe generative AI will unlock a new era of scripted creator content for digital platforms, and we’re building a slate of digital series defined by strong voices, original characters and new worlds. You’ll oversee the development, production and commercialization of that slate: building a pipeline for discovering new creators, developing strategies to get their work seen, and building partnerships that turn audiences into revenue.

This is a senior, hands-on role on a lean, fast-growing team, so you’ll set the strategy and roll up your sleeves to carry it out. You’ll work closely with our founder and leadership to define how we invest our resources, and you’ll recruit and manage a growing team of creatives and producers.

What You'll Do

• Lead our content business, from strategy to day-to-day operations

• Build a development pipeline, guiding creators from concept to finished series that can scale across multiple platforms

• Decide which projects move forward and how we allocate resources across our slate

• Make deals with individual creators, studios, brands and technical partners

• Own our strategy for marketing, audience growth and fan engagement

• Oversee our Head of Production to ensure productions stay on budget and on schedule

• Work alongside our Head of Technology to get our creators working on our proprietary platform

• Champion our creators and artists among leadership, making sure their voice shapes our slate and our platform

• Represent Primordial Soup externally across the entertainment, technology and creative communities

• Stay ahead of emerging trends in new media, AI, entertainment and storytelling to identify new creative and commercial opportunities

What We're Looking For

• Strong creative taste, backed by a hit you helped make and can explain why it worked

• Has helped run a company or business, with the operating experience to show for it

• Fluent in digital platforms and how to build and monetize an audience on them

• Can recruit and lead creative and operational teams

• Experience brokering deals with creators, platforms and brand partners

• Confident managing production budgets and P&L performance

• Impressive in a room with creators and investors alike
