Founding Filmmaker & Video Lead

Government technology has failed citizens, public servants, and service members for decades.

Kaizen powers America’s application layer. We replace the legacy systems federal agencies run on with modern software, built with craft. The ticketing platform a resident uses to visit a presidential library. The marketplace DoW uses for counter-drone procurement to protect lives and critical infrastructure. The system a Veteran uses to access benefits. We build systems of record, of national consequence. Our AI-native modules and harness allow us to do so in weeks and months, not years.

This year, our revenue has grown 35x. Next year, our software will serve over 100 million Americans across dozens of federal agencies.

Founded in 2022 and based in New York City and DC, Kaizen has raised $35 million from NEA, a16z, Accel, 776, and Carpenter Capital.

Kaizen builds the modern alternative to government technology, and is on track to power federal technology serving 100 million residents and public servants within the next 12 months. Almost none of that story is captured today.

We're hiring a Filmmaker/Content Lead to fix that. You'll build and run Kaizen Studio (open to naming suggestions): the creative function that captures Kaizen's work across customers, tells the story of the team building it, and defines how Kaizen shows up to candidates, customers, and investors alike.

This is an individual contributor role to start, and not a marketing generalist role where you inherit a demand-gen calendar. You drive creative efforts with video: customer films, recruiting films, founder pieces, launch content, and whateve...
