**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.

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.
