CYLNDR Studios is hiring: Sr. Content Creator in Durham

Working at CYLNDR Studios

CYLNDR Studios is known for modern content, powered by design. We believe that creativity is most powerful in the hands of thinkers and makers under one roof. Through the alchemy of design, production, content creation and influencer marketing, CYLNDR Studios transforms inspiration into tangible, effective solutions to build today's brands. We’re a Cheil Worldwide company and we have locations out of NYC, LA, and Durham, NC.

The Position

As a Sr. Content Creator, you will be responsible for creating, and producing compelling content that resonates with target audiences and aligns with our clients' brand identities. Leveraging your expertise in social trends and best practices, you will work closely with our creative and strategy teams to deliver culturally relevant content that drives awareness and engagement.

You are a highly skilled maker who can execute at volume without sacrificing quality. You are fluent across video, stills, and post-production, comfortable moving between roles as needed: shooter, editor, director, sometimes a collaborator on a larger set.

You work fast, clean, and collaboratively. You can take direction, contribute ideas, and turn work around under real production conditions. You’re equally comfortable executing a clearly defined brief or helping shape ideas when needed, but your primary value is in how well and how reliably you make things.

This role is designed for a long-term senior individual contributor who loves the work and wants to stay close to craft.

• Stay current with social media trends, platform algorithm changes, AI technology and the possibilities it unlocks, and industry best practices to ensure content remains relevant and optimized for maximum reach and engagement.
• Work closely with the team, forge solid working relationships, ultimately in service of making the quality work, understanding clients goals, preferences, and incorporating feedback into the content creation process.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring timely delivery of content while maintaining high quality standards.
• Be in the studio Tues-Thurs to collaborate with others and be ready to make things on the fly when real-time opportunities arise.
• Have a player‑coach mentality in managing people with some experience leading a team. You’re a good teacher and like ups­kill.
• Be a great presenter and an even better listener. You’re comfortable building client relationships.

What you Need to be Successful

• You are first and foremost a maker and possess a curious mind. You’re always learning something new, exploring new techniques, and comfortable using AI as another creative tool in your repertoire.
• You move easily between independent execution and team‑based production.
• You are comfortable following direction and offering ideas when invited.
• You are fast, organized, and dependable.
• You consistently produce high-quality work in a deadline‑driven environment.
• You actively use AI in your workflow and are curious about new tools.You care about craft, not just delivery.
• You collaborate well and communicate clearly.
• You take pride in being excellent at what you do.
• Maintain a consistent proactive attitude toward creative thinking, attention to detail, staying updated on industry/relevant trends.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize tasks effectively.
