Production company building c-suite (startup) - a job post by Anya Dillard

About the job

Jenevesque Media is a full-service multimedia production house established in 2020, dedicated to advancing innovative, boundary-pushing storytelling across film and digital media. Specializing in experimental nonfiction, lyrical narrative, and immersive audiovisual work, the company elevates original stories and connects them with audiences worldwide.

Headquartered in West Orange, NJ, Jenevesque Media supports emerging and independent creatives by helping bring debut projects to life through creative development, impact-driven marketing, and hands-on production support. The company is committed to expanding access within the entertainment industry and fostering a vibrant, forward-thinking creative ecosystem. As our collaborator network and slate continue to expand, we are looking to build our C-suite.

Initial compensation is tied to the company’s long-term growth, including revenue activation, fundraising milestones, and the establishment of new partnerships. As part of the founding leadership team, the selected candidates will receive an equity stake that reflects their contribution to building core systems, expanding operations, and shaping the studio’s strategic direction.

Role Description

We are seeking an entrepreneurial, mission-aligned to join our founding leadership team and shape the next phase of the company’s growth. This is a hands-on, early-stage leadership role for someone who wants to help build a studio, not simply work at one.

You will partner directly with the Founder as a core decision-maker, guiding business strategy, operations, partnerships, and studio development. This role is ideal for someone energized by building systems from the ground up, scaling new initiatives, and helping define what a purpose-driven entertainment company can become.

Role Responsibilities

• Lead company strategy, organizational development, and operational growth
• Oversee day-to-day management with a focus on sustainable, scalable systems
• Build partnerships with distributors, arts institutions, brands, festivals, and creative organizations
• Develop revenue models, studio infrastructure, and long-term business plans
• Collaborate closely with creative leadership on project development and overall portfolio direction
• Represent Jenevesque Media across industry events and professional platforms
• Shape and support a collaborative, inclusive, artist-centered company culture
• Motivate internal teams toward excellence and meaningful impact

Qualifications

• Early to mid-career stage
• Bachelor’s degree preferred (current graduating seniors or candidates with strong experience will also be considered)
• Preferred fields of study: Film Production, Business of Film, Business Administration, Marketing, Communications, Media Management, Fine Arts, Dramatic Arts, or related disciplines

Additional experience in media, the arts, community engagement, or project-based leadership is a strong plus.

We are especially interested in candidates who:

• Want real, hands-on experience in scaling a creative or media startup
• Are motivated by building within flexible structures that allow for autonomy
• Enjoy creating systems, frameworks, and opportunities rather than inheriting them

Ideal Candidate Traits

• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong initiative
• Deep interest in storytelling and its influence on audiences
• Excited by the opportunity to co-create a company’s identity, strategy, and presence in the marketplace
• Strong communicator comfortable working with both creatives and business partners
• Quick thinker with a willingness to learn and adapt
• Comfortable with hands-on, ground-up work

Who Will Thrive Here

Candidates who:

• Want a leadership position with real ownership and long-term influence
• Prefer building alongside a founder rather than entering a traditional hierarchy
• Believe in the power of film and media to drive cultural and artistic impact
• Want their work to matter to audiences, artists, and the industry

…will excel in this role.

Compensation

This role is structured around a deferred and equity-based compensation model. Initial compensation is tied to the company’s long-term growth, including revenue activation, fundraising milestones, and the establishment of new partnerships. As part of the founding leadership team, the selected candidate will receive an equity stake that reflects their contribution to building core systems, expanding operations, and shaping the studio’s strategic direction.

This structure is designed for individuals who are motivated by shared ownership, long-term value creation, and the opportunity to participate directly in the company’s future financial success.
