Position Summary & Responsibilities

About HeyGen

At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.

About the role

HeyGen is looking for an AI video creator who already lives on the frontier of generative video and has a portfolio to prove it. You’ll produce the videos that show the world what HeyGen can do: platform demos, campaign content, social-first videos, and internal projects, from concept to final cut. HeyGen and HyperFrames are your primary tools, but every other model in the stack is there to feed them. This is a full-time contractor role with the opportunity to convert to a permanent position based on performance. We are an in-office work environment.

What you’ll do

Produce high-quality AI video for campaigns, internal projects, and platform demos, from concept to final cut, with HeyGen avatars and HyperFrames at the center of the pipeline
Build HyperFrames projects that render deterministic, editable video, and pair them with HeyGen avatars, voices, and translations to deliver finished assets
Maintain deep, current expertise across MCPs and generative video models (Veo, Sora, Seedance, Runway, Kling, Hailuo, Wan, Pika) and know each model’s strengths, limits, and sweet spots, and when to route footage into a HeyGen or HyperFrames pipeline
Develop advanced prompting techniques and multi-step pipelines that consistently produce realistic results, and build prompt libraries the team can reuse
Build scroll-stopping hooks in the first 3 seconds and deliver multiple hook and creative variations so the team can test what performs
Write short concepts, shot lists, storyboards, and prompts, and plan scenes before generating so every video has a clear idea
Combine AI footage with traditional editi

🎯 Candidate Preparation Guide For Heygen Applicants

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Evaluating extreme execution speed, deep AI/video generative intuition, and an owner-operator mentality with zero ego.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

1. Expressing a preference for heavy corporate bureaucracy or lengthy planning cycles over fast experimentation.
2. Coming across as a manager rather than a hands-on doer who can build and ship independently.
3. Lack of deep familiarity with modern generative AI video landscapes and foundational model constraints.

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I have spent my career scaling AI-native products by treating deployment speed as a core feature, and I want to help HeyGen completely redefine the future of human-video communication.
