Job Description

Creative Director – Founding Team Member

About Us

Helios is building the AI-native OS for government interaction. Our first product, Proxi, is already redefining how policymakers, lobbyists, Fortune 500s, and public servants navigate power. We're automating the workflows that define public-private life—and building a platform that will one day be synonymous with governance itself.

We're backed by leading investors and already closing deals with high-impact operators. Our founding team comes from the White House, State Department, Microsoft, and Datadog. Now we’re looking for a creative co-founder in spirit—a master of narrative, virality, and visual culture—to help us write the story of a new American movement.

The Role

We’re hiring a full-time content killer.

This isn’t a typical marketing role. This is an attention command post for the 21st century.

You’ll own how the world sees Helios—from launch campaigns and doc-style founder features to viral drops that drive real inbound and shape public discourse. You’ll direct shoots, obsess over reels, advise the C-suite, and turn raw execution into mass attention. You’ll build a media engine that fuels product adoption and movement-building in the same stroke.

Location: New York City

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead all creative and content execution across Helios and Proxi
  • Build viral video campaigns that drive user growth, sales, and influence
  • Develop Helios’ aesthetic into a visual system people want to imitate
  • Extract emotion and narrative from policy professionals, founders, and users
  • Direct video shoots and lead post-production with cinematic quality
  • Grow and sustain engagement across X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more
  • Partner with the executive team to architect moments that shape public conversation
  • Work backwards from virality—turn attention into market dominance

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Are a full-stack content creator: write, shoot, edit, publish
  • Know what Chiat\Day is—and want to make them look like a footnote
  • Treat content like a weapon, not a deliverable
  • Have grown personal or company accounts to serious scale
  • Can script brand storylines that convert into six-figure contracts
  • Are obsessed with design, detail, sound, and narrative pacing
  • Understand American politics, media, and influence deeply
  • Want to build something louder, faster, and more dangerous than legacy PR

Nice to Have

  • Background in filmmaking, podcasting, studio production, or media agency work
  • Experience launching brands, campaigns, or movements
  • Familiarity with AI, govtech, or venture-backed startups
  • Ability to coach execs on public presence and media moments
  • Deep network in design, content, and political storytelling circles

Compensation

Salary: $150,000–$220,000

Equity: Generous founding team-level package
