AI Cinematographer

LOCATION: London (Central), 4 Days In Office (Tuesday - Friday), 1 Day WFH (Monday) CONTRACT: Full-time, permanent SALARY: £45,000 - £55,000 + discretionary bonus WEBSITE: https://growthcurve.co Ad agencies are dead. We're what comes next. Growthcurve is the growth marketing agency founders, CMOs and investors call when they need to scale fast. Strategy, media and creative under one roof, with an in-house studio and AI built into how we work. We've supported companies spending over $100M a month on paid ads, for brands like Coinbase, AliExpress, Midnite and Finom. We're hiring an AI Cinematographer: a DoP who has lit and shot real live action, and now brings that eye to AI video, making cinematic ad creative for ambitious brands. THE ROLE Our in-house studio makes the ad creative behind fast-growing brands: short-form social video, paid ads, campaign shoots and motion. More and more of it now starts in AI video models. You'll make that work look shot, not generated: turning real camera, lens and lighting knowledge into prompts, keeping every frame consistent, and finishing it properly in post. You'll work with our producers, editors, motion designers and creative team, and pick up a real camera whenever a brief needs live action. WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Generate cinematic scenes, B-roll and full sequences with AI video and image models, from text and from reference frames
• Translate film language into prompts: lens, focal length, aperture, lighting setup, camera movement and grade
• Keep characters, products, lighting and look consistent across every clip in a sequence
• Shoot live-action plates, product and reference footage in our studio and on location, and blend them with generated work
• Finish in post: edit, composite and grade the final piece
• Take briefs through Jira, share work in Frame.io, and deliver masters in every format the channels need: 1:1, 9:16, 16:9 and 4:5
• Build variants for testing so the growth team can find what performs
• Add to our AI video prompting guides, so the whole studio gets better at it WHO YOU ARE
• 5+ years as a DoP, cinematographer or camera operator on real live-action shoots: commercials, brand content, music videos or film
• Deep knowledge of composition, lens behaviour, lighting, camera movement, pacing and colour
• Hands-on with current AI video and image models such as Kling, Runway, Veo, Higgsfield, Midjourney and Flux, with work to show for it
• Strong in post: Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve
• A showreel with both shot and generated work, and the craft visible in each
• Fast and iterative: you turn a brief into many strong options, not one precious one
• Fluent in how video works on TikTok, Meta and YouTube BONUS POINTS
• Paid social or performance ad experience
• Node-based AI workflows such as ComfyUI, Flora or Figma Weave
• Blender or other 3D
• Stills or product photography OUR CULTURE
