🚀 About TubeScience

TubeScience is the fastest-growing maker of performance-driven video content.

We partner with the world’s most innovative brands to create, test, and scale videos that drive measurable growth — fast.

Our DNA is creative precision: we experiment constantly, move fast, and make content that performs.


💡 The Role

We're looking for a Social Media Content Director whose creative instincts were built on social media — someone who has lived the content creator life (or worked shoulder-to-shoulder with creators) and now wants to bring that fluency to a high-volume production environment.

You'll direct and shoot UGC-style content and socially-native B-roll across dozens of DTC brands — haircare, beauty, wellness, food & bev, apps, and more. You know what makes someone stop scrolling because you've made that content yourself. You understand iPhone-first shooting, platform-native framing (9:16 lives in your bones), and how to make a product moment feel authentic, aspirational, and effortless all at once.

This isn't a traditional DP gig. We need someone who can coach talent the way a creator coaches a collab partner — casually, energetically, and with a deep understanding of what reads as real on TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc. You'll capture clean, versatile footage optimized for creative testing and iteration, while keeping shoots moving fast.


🎥 What You’ll Do

  • Direct and shoot high-performing UGC-style content and socially-native B-roll for social platforms across a wide range of DTC brands
  • Capture lifestyle, product, and talent footage that feels native to social platforms  — not like an ad
  • Coach actors, influencers, and real people to deliver authentic, scroll-stopping on-camera performances
  • Shoot across formats and setups — from iPhone-first scrappy content to multi-camera studio shoots — and know when each approach is right
  • Collaborate with creative strategists to translate briefs into visual content that converts
  • Shoot and style B-roll that tells a story on its own: product glamour shots, lifestyle vignettes, unboxing moments, ASMR textures, and day-in-the-life sequences
  • Keep shoots efficient, high-energy, and adaptable
  • Maintain TubeScience's quality, metadata, and compliance standards on every project

🧬 Who You Are

  • 3–5+ years shooting or directing in fast-paced, digital-first environments (UGC, branded content, social, or creator economy ideal)
  • You've been a content creator yourself, or you've worked closely with creators and deeply understand the aesthetic, pacing, and energy of socially-native video
  • You have a portfolio that shows UGC-style work, B-roll storytelling, and/or lifestyle content — think creator reels, product content, and brand collabs, not just traditional commercial work
  • Fluent across camera systems (iPhone through cinema) and comfortable lighting for both polished and raw/authentic looks
  • Strong understanding of what performs on social platforms — you follow trends, you know the formats, and you think in hooks and retention
  • Strong communicator who can direct non-actors and influencers to deliver natural, engaging performances
  • Resourceful, organized, and fast-moving
  • Confident leading sets while keeping energy, collaboration, and creative momentum high

Bonus Points

  • You've built your own social following or have a content portfolio that shows real engagement and aesthetic range
  • Experience creating content across lifestyle categories (travel, fashion, beauty, wellness, food)
  • You've created content that drove measurable results — sales, sign-ups, engagement
