About Curious Refuge

Curious Refuge is the world’s leading AI filmmaking school — empowering storytellers across the globe to create cinematic experiences using artificial intelligence. Our mission is to help filmmakers, designers, and visionaries thrive in the next era of creative storytelling.

We’re now expanding our focus beyond education — building a global talent pipeline that connects the best creative minds with the world’s top studios, agencies, and brands. Our goal: to close the loop between education and paid creative opportunity by linking our students — and the wider creative community — with real-world, high-impact projects.

The Role

We’re seeking a visionary Global Creative Talent Connector who will serve as the bridge between emerging AI creatives and the professional world. You’ll guide our students and community members on their creative journeys, match top talent with industry opportunities, and strengthen our position as the central hub for world-class AI creativity.

This role combines career mentorship, talent curation, and industry relationship management. You’ll work closely with both Curious Refuge students and external creative professionals from around the world to place them in paid, meaningful creative roles — including opportunities through our parent company’s global creative network.

Key Responsibilities

• Interview, evaluate, and mentor students and creative professionals to understand their strengths, goals, and portfolios.

• Develop and maintain a global talent database that includes Curious Refuge alumni and qualified creatives from around the world.

• Support partnerships with studios, agencies, production houses, and enterprise companies seeking AI-enabled creative talent.

• Connect talent with real opportunities, both within Curious Refuge’s parent company (Promise) and through external collaborations.

• Track placement outcomes and success metrics to measure the impact of our talent ecosystem.

• Represent Curious Refuge and our mission at global creative conferences, events, and online communities.

• Travel and Network occasionally (5%-10%) for workshops, on-site sessions, etc.

Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience in talent management, recruiting, or career development, ideally within the creative or entertainment industry.

• A strong understanding of AI, filmmaking, and digital storytelling tools (or a willingness to learn).

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — a natural connector who loves helping others succeed.

• Comfortable working across cultures and time zones, with a global perspective on creative work.

• Organized, detail-oriented, and familiar with CRM or talent management systems.

• Passionate about building bridges between education and employment — and creating meaningful opportunities for artists and innovators.

• Los Angeles area preferred, though we’re open to exceptional remote candidates outside the L.A. area.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a pioneering team redefining the future of creative work.

• Help establish the global hub for AI creative talent.

• Work with a passionate international community of filmmakers, artists, and innovators.

• Access to Curious Refuge courses, creative AI tools, and exclusive industry opportunities.

• Fully remote — collaborate from anywhere in the world.

• Los Angeles–based or able to travel to LA regularly is a major plus.
