Job Description

AI Video Producer 

Location: Hybrid (Johannesburg, Cape Town, or Remote) | Type: Full-time

Are you a creative technologist passionate about pushing the boundaries of storytelling through AI-generated video?

Our client is looking for an AI Video Producer to bring technology, vision, and impact to life through photo-realistic, AI-driven storytelling. This role blends creativity, cinematic craft, and technical mastery — producing stunning videos that showcase groundbreaking work across artificial intelligence, automation, and digital innovation.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll lead the creative production of AI-generated, photorealistic video content that brings Isazi’s innovations, culture, and client success stories to life.

You’ll use cutting-edge synthetic media and generative AI tools — from OpenAI’s Sora to Google’s Veo — to craft narrative-driven videos featuring digital humans, voice cloning, and AI-driven cinematography. Your work will help shape how the world sees AI innovation in Africa.

What you will do

  • Concept & Script: Turn product stories, case studies, and thought leadership into powerful scripts and storyboards.
  • Culture Storytelling: Produce internal videos highlighting the team’s people, values, and culture — from hackathons and onboarding sessions to team interviews.
  • Generate & Direct: Create photorealistic video sequences using advanced AI video systems (e.g., OpenAI Sora 2, Google Veo 3.x in Gemini/AI Studio/Flow) with precise control over motion, physics, and character consistency.
  • Edit & Composite: Blend live action, digital humans, VFX, and motion graphics into polished, high-quality narratives.
  • Voice & Sound: Manage end-to-end audio quality — including voice cloning, dubbing, and final mix — using tools like ElevenLabs, Adobe Podcast Enhance Speech, and iZotope RX.
  • Animation & Mocap: Incorporate 3D and motion capture workflows (Unreal/MetaHuman, Blender, or C4D) for realistic performances.
  • Pipeline & Ops: Build scalable, version-controlled production workflows and prompt libraries that balance speed and quality.
  • Brand Stewardship: Maintain Isazi’s visual and sonic identity across all content — from colour and typography to music and tone.
  • R&D: Continuously explore and integrate new AI media tools and models to advance Isazi’s production capabilities.

What you bring

  • 3–5+ years in video production, post-production, animation, or motion design, with a portfolio showcasing photorealistic or AI-generated video work.
  • Strong proficiency across the synthetic-video stack, including:
  • OpenAI Sora for realism, synced audio, and shot control.
  • Google Veo (3.x) in Gemini/AI Studio/Flow for long-form, creative, API-driven workflows.
  • Familiarity with tools like Runway, Pika, Luma, HeyGen, or Synthesia is a plus.
  • Expertise in editing and finishing (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects).
  • Audio skills including cloning, dubbing, and sound design (ElevenLabs, iZotope RX, Adobe Podcast).
  • Experience with animation and 3D tools (Unreal/MetaHuman, Blender, or C4D).
  • Ability to manage shot continuity, prompts, and automation workflows (e.g., ffmpeg, Python).
  • A strong sense of visual storytelling, pacing, and detail — with a commitment to high-end craft.

Bonus Skills

  • Colour workflows (ACES/LUTs) and advanced grading.
  • VFX and compositing (Nuke, Houdini, Mocha Pro).
  • Asset management (Frame.io, ShotGrid, or Notion-based review boards).
  • Understanding of AI ethics, dataset provenance, and watermarking standards.

The person we are looking for

  • A creative technologist with strong systems thinking and aesthetic taste.
  • Calm under deadlines, meticulous about detail (from eye reflections to physics and lip-sync).
  • Collaborative, pragmatic, and comfortable working directly with founders and executives.
  • Passionate about using AI as a creative medium, not just a tool.

Why Join the team

Join one of Africa’s leading AI companies shaping the global narrative on intelligent technology. You’ll experiment with the world’s most advanced AI tools, work with visionary leaders, and craft the stories that define the future of AI.
