SUMMARY

This role will lead video editorial for both Type.Set.Brooklyn and BKMAG—two distinct but complementary media brands under the Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment umbrella:

• Type.Set.Brooklyn is a global-facing culture brand, born out of Brooklyn’s influence, that tells bold, visual stories at the intersection of music, style, sports, and internet culture.
• BKMAG is a service-forward guide to life in the borough, covering food, people, events, culture, and community.

We’re assembling a team of agile, entrepreneurial, and culturally fluent creatives to shape the strategy, voice, and execution of this next-gen media business. Our team should reflect the diversity and energy of Brooklyn itself—so we can create content that resonates locally and globally.

We’re looking for a Senior Director of Video to own the creative development, editorial execution, and strategic growth of our video content across platforms. You’ll lead a growing team of producers and editors, shape our video slate, and ensure every piece of content meets the highest standard of storytelling, cultural relevance, and brand alignment.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead the development and execution of short-form and long-form video editorial across Type.Set.Brooklyn and BKMAG, from pitch to publish.
• Set the creative and editorial vision for new video formats, franchises, and series aligned with each brand’s audience and voice.
• Manage and mentor a team of producers and editors, providing structure, feedback, and development support.
• Collaborate closely with editorial, social, and design leads to ensure cohesion across video, written content, and brand identity.
• Serve as the key editorial stakeholder across all video productions—on set, in post, and in performance analysis.
• Oversee production calendars and resourcing in partnership with the Director of Production Operations.
• Work cross-functionally with Audience Development, Partnerships, and other departments to ensure video content is optimized for distribution and aligned with platform best practices.
• Analyze performance metrics and platform trends to refine strategy, format development, and creative decision-making.
• Maintain and evolve brand voice and storytelling POV across visual content.
• Represent the video team in internal planning, content meetings, and cross-functional brainstorms.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• 10+ years of experience in video editorial and production, preferably in a newsroom or digital-first media environment.
• 3–5 years of people management experience, with a track record of developing and scaling creative teams.
• Deep understanding of how to build and evolve content franchises across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and beyond.
• Strong editorial instinct and visual storytelling chops; ability to balance cultural fluency with brand strategy.
• Strong knowledge of music, pop culture, and sports is a must.
• Experience producing both nimble, rapid-response video and evergreen formats at a high level.
• Familiarity with post-production workflows and tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Frame.io, etc.).

WHO YOU ARE

• Willing to work nights, weekends, and on a flexible schedule.
• Skilled at leading collaborative projects across disciplines (editorial, creative, production, platform, sales).
• Comfortable navigating the balance of speed, creativity, and polish in a fast-paced content environment.
• Fluent in audience insights, content performance, and translating data into editorial learnings.
