We are makers. We create because we are curious, and we believe that the best way to prove an idea works is to make it real.
As the Craft Innovation Lead, you are a defining voice of our new breed of cross-disciplinary innovators. Nested deeply within our core Content Studio offering, you sit at the exact intersection of traditional filmmaking craft, cutting-edge AI technology, and immersive system architecture.
Reporting directly to the Head of Creative, you are a hybrid visionary with a proven background in visual effects, animation, design, and film direction. You understand the unbreakable rules of color, composition, pacing, and character development—and you know how to apply those traditional standards to AI-first workflows and XR environments.
You will not just build the future; you will sell it. This is a highly strategic, client-facing role. You will proactively identify opportunities, rapidly prototype "impossible" ideas, and present these new ways of making directly to Google stakeholders. You are the ultimate bridge between our creative idea generators, our technical platform builders, and our clients, proving that strategically sound, tech-enabled creative thinking can achieve the "Google Grade" faster and with unprecedented visual fidelity.
