On It FilmsContent Director (YouTube, freelance)

What makes a YouTube video truly watchable — and how do you direct it on set? On It Films is looking for Content Directors (YouTube) to join their freelance pool and create content for Supercell’s global player communities.

What will you be doing?

As a Content Director (YouTube) at On It Films, you’ll direct community-driven video content for Supercell’s global player base — turning ideas into content players actually want to watch.

You’ll work closely with the games Community Managers (CMs), producers, and the studio crew, focusing especially on what happens on set. Your role is to translate scripts into compelling visual storytelling, guide talent, and shape the energy, pacing, and performance so the content lands with the audience.

In this role, you act as the CM’s eyes on set — ensuring the content reflects the game, the community, and the intent behind each video. You’ll bring clarity to execution and elevate moments through direction, without overcomplicating the production.

Projects are fast-paced and focused, often moving from planning to filming within a few days. Most productions are shot on green screen, where your ability to understand references and bring the right level of showmanship into performance becomes key.

What makes you a great fit?

You get YouTube — not just how it looks, but why people keep watching and how it connects with an audience. You’re confident leading on set, but you don’t overcomplicate things. You understand that in this environment, simplicity, clarity, and performance beat heavy production tricks.

You collaborate naturally with different people and bring positive, solution-oriented energy into every production. You’re curious, adaptable, and comfortable working at pace. Most importantly: you leave ego at the door. This isn’t a traditional commercial set — and that’s exactly what makes it work.

Requirements:

• Relevant experience directing or creating video content, with a portfolio showcasing your style
• Proven ability to direct productions of varying scale
• Good understanding of YouTube content formats, audience behavior, and storytelling
• Good communication skills in English and confidence working with clients and production teams
• Ability to work efficiently under tight timelines and make clear on-set decisions
• Familiarity with green screen productions or studio environments

On It Films can offer you:

• Create content that reaches millions of Supercell players worldwide and see your work in action
• Work alongside a 40+ person production team who support you on set and beyond
• Focus on on-set directing and creative execution while others handle the full production pipeline
• Join a low-ego team where smooth collaboration matters most
• Enjoy efficient shoot days during office hours without weekend work

Practicalities:

This is a freelance-based opportunity where you will join On It Films’ Content Director pool. Work is project-based, and assignments are offered based on production needs and mutual fit. Compensation is project-based and agreed separately for each assignment.

The work takes place at On It Films’ studio in Supercell premises in Ruoholahti, Helsinki. Typically, projects include 1–2 days of preparation and 1 day of filming, with an estimated 2–5 projects per month depending on the situation. Your main focus is on directing during shoot days, while the in-house team supports pre- and post-production.

A YouTube-minded Director, we want to hear from you!
