Video Director

New York, New York

Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

The Challenge to Solve

Create inspirational video content that showcases the people behind independent pizzerias, highlights Slice’s products and service, and integrates into broader efforts to grow the brand. 

The Role

The stories of independent pizzeria owners are ones of inspiration, perseverance, and sheer will. The Video Director will help shine a spotlight on them as we look to build awareness of entrepreneurship in the pizza industry and Slice’s mission to keep local pizza thriving. Through short and longform video, this role will build and lead an in-house production team (local and remote) that will work closely with the broader Marketing Team on creating effective, integrated campaigns. The ideal candidate has the experience and skill set to execute large- and small-scale productions alike, produce content from episodic documentaries to product videos,  and thrive in a fast-paced work environment. This role will report to the VP, Head of Creative.

You’ll drive impact through responsibilities like:

  • Build and lead an in-house production team, including producers, editors, and motion designers — supplemented with freelance support as needed
  • Own the end-to-end video production process—from concept and scripting to shoot and post
  • Direct high-impact productions, primarily on-location shoots at customer locations
  • Manage production timelines and budgets
  • Raise the bar for production quality and visual storytelling across all channels
  • Coordinate with cross-functional partners, including executives, to create impactful content enabled by key business initiatives (e.g., opening new pizzerias)
  • Partner with Content and Marketing leadership to define an annual content calendar tied to brand moments and strategic initiatives
  • Work closely with Creative team to ensure consistency of brand, including graphics and tone of voice
  • Develop paid and organic video content that drives awareness, engagement, and conversions
  • Stay ahead of platform trends, new formats, and tools that can improve our storytelling

The Winning Recipe 

You bring a mix of creative leadership, hands-on execution, and a deep understanding of storytelling and the needs of small businesses.

  • 8+ years of experience in video production, with at least 3 years in a senior or leadership role
  • Strong portfolio showcasing documentary-style, branded, and promotional work
  • Proven ability to ideate, direct, and edit compelling visual stories
  • Deep understanding of lighting, camera operation, and interview technique
  • Proficiency in video editing software (e.g., Premiere Pro, After Effects, Resolve)
  • Experience managing production crews, post workflows, and vendor relationships
  • Comfortable directing on set and adapting quickly to on-location constraints
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects at once
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Willingness to travel as needed for shoots

  • Flexible PTO
  • Market leading medical, vision and dental insurance

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
