Role Overview

Some people watch a film about a master craftsperson and think, “What an extraordinary story.” We are looking for the person who also asks: “How do we bring this work to the right audience, give people a way to own it, and build a business that brings the maker repeat orders?” Ember Collective is building a global documentary studio attached to an ecommerce business. We will discover extraordinary craft traditions, document the people and processes behind them, and turn those stories into limited collections for customers in the United States. Not generic homeware with an artisan caption. Not a travel channel with a shop added later. A brand where the story, the object, and the relationship with its maker belong together. Your team might investigate metal mirrors in Kerala, lost-wax sculpture in India, intricate weaving in Southeast Asia, or hand-cut mosaics in Morocco. These are possibilities to validate, not a pre-booked itinerary. We intend to begin with an India pilot and expand thoughtfully as the model proves itself. Each collection:



an original 15-30 minute documentary + a small selection of premium objects, initially targeting US$300-US$500. Our preferred model is preorder-first: validate samples and production capacity, tell the story, invite customers to commission the work, and then produce against real demand.
