Video Director

Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

The Challenge to Solve

Create inspirational video content that showcases the people behind independent pizzerias, highlights Slice’s products and service, and integrates into broader efforts to grow the brand. 

The Role

The stories of independent pizzeria owners are ones of inspiration, perseverance, and sheer will. The Video Director will help shine a spotlight on them as we look to build awareness of entrepreneurship in the pizza industry and Slice’s mission to keep local pizza thriving. Through short and longform video, this role will build and lead an in-house production team (local and remote) that will work closely with the broader Marketing Team on creating effective, integrated campaigns. The ideal candidate has the experience and skill set to execute large- and small-scale productions alike, produce content from episodic documentaries to product videos,  and thrive in a fast-paced work environment. This role will report to the VP, Head of Creative.

You’ll drive impact through responsibilities like:

• Build and lead an in-house production team, including producers, editors, and motion designers — supplemented with freelance support as needed
• Own the end-to-end video production process—from concept and scripting to shoot and post
• Direct high-impact productions, primarily on-location shoots at customer locations
• Manage production timelines and budgets
• Raise the bar for production quality and visual storytelling across all channels
• Coordinate with cross-functional partners, including executives, to create impactful content enabled by key business initiatives (e.g., opening new pizzerias)
• Partner with Content and Marketing leadership to define an annual content calendar tied to brand moments and strategic initiatives
• Work closely with Creative team to ensure consistency of brand, including graphics and tone of voice
• Develop paid and organic video content that drives awareness, engagement, and conversions
• Stay ahead of platform trends, new formats, and tools that can improve our storytelling
