• Lead story development with the talent and families already cast and vetted, shaping emotional + practical arcs across episodes

• Bring exceptional skill guiding real people through a meaningful on-camera journey — capturing authenticity while keeping scenes focused, elevated, and story-driven

• Run production logistics, including schedules, crew planning, field coordination, and on-set leadership

• Manage post workflow with strong editorial notes to ensure pacing, tone, and consistency across formats

• Work in-office 5 days a week when not filming to support development, planning, and post-production collaboration

• Bring strong taste level and editorial instincts (premium doc/food sensibility a major plus)
