AI Creative Project Manager

Shortical is a fast-growing mobile entertainment platform redefining how people consume scripted content. We create premium, short-form, vertical series designed for modern viewing habits: fast-paced, immersive, mobile-first, and always available on demand.

The Role

We are seeking an AI Creative Project Manager to shape the fast-paced, rapidly growing world of mobile micro-drama. Our series—including characters, environments, wardrobe, and overall visual identity—are generated entirely via Generative AI and produced by global partners. This is not a traditional writing or directing role; instead, you will act as a high-level creative gatekeeper. You will review AI-generated episodes, identify creative bottlenecks, and provide precise direction to elevate the final output.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain production folders using Gen-AI tools to ensure consistency across characters, locations, and wardrobe.
• Watch and review AI-generated micro-drama episodes.
• Audit critical creative aspects like acting, emotion, pacing, editing, sound, music, color, lighting, continuity, and visual believability.
• Identify issues and opportunities to maximize audience retention, delivering precise, actionable recommendations.
• Submit detailed, organized feedback via Excel logs, tracking episode numbers, precise timecodes, and targeted notes.

Requirements

• Degree in Film, Cinema, or related fields.
• 5–10 years in long-form, narrative or scripted content, ideally as a Script Supervisor, Script Editor, Director, or Showrunner.
• Deep understanding of micro-drama dynamics, including dramatic structures, fast pacing, returning genres, character archetypes, and cliffhangers.
• Strong analytical skills to gauge viewer engagement and translate user behavior into actionable creative direction.
• Professional working proficiency in English at an intermediate to high level.
• Familiarity with or strong openness to integrating Gen-AI tools into modern creative pipelines.
