Location: London (In-Office, 4+ days/week) Team: Executive Reports to: CTO Welcome to the video first world From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content. Today, people want to watch and listen, not read. This is true both at home and at work. If you're reading this and nodding, check out our brand video . Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale-until now. Meet Synthesia We're on a mission to make video easy for everyone. Born in an AI lab, our AI video communications platform simplifies the entire video production process, making it easy for everyone, regardless of skill level, to create, collaborate, and share high-quality videos.

Location: London (In-Office, 4+ days/week) Team: Executive Reports to: CTO Welcome to the video first world From your everyday PowerPoint presentations to Hollywood movies, AI will transform the way we create and consume content. Today, people want to watch and listen, not read. This is true both at home and at work. If you're reading this and nodding, check out our brand video . Despite the clear preference for video, communication and knowledge sharing in the business environment are still dominated by text, largely because high-quality video production remains complex and challenging to scale-until now.
