What you'll Do, Pre-Production:
- Manage the content production calendar and turn creative briefs into executable shoot plans for repeatable formats (Shorts, explainers, product updates, BTS).
- Build practical budgets and expense reports; track actuals and optimize for cost per episode.
- Hire, schedule, and coordinate lean freelance crews (DPs, sound, gaffer, stylist) as needed; build/maintain a vetted roster.
- Secure locations (primarily office/studio), rental cars, and equipment; maintain the in-house gear closet and check-in/out process.
- Source props/wardrobe and prep set layouts optimized for speed and continuity across episodes.
- Draft clear call sheets/run-of-show; align talent and crew on timing, roles, and contingencies.
- Create concise pitch/approval decks for executives when needed.
What You'll Do: Production (Mostly In-Office)
- Maintain a tidy, ready-to-roll studio: lighting presets, standing sets, and labeled bins.
- Own day-of logistics (crafty, transport, releases, safety, and basic compliance).
- Lead shoot days in our NYC office/studio and on-set offsite: keep us on time and on budget.
- Troubleshoot quickly (lighting/audio/set resets) to protect creative momentum.
What You'll Do: Post-Production:
- Ingest, organize, and back up media to NAS with clean folder structures and versioning.
- Log/tag footage with usable metadata (episode, segment, talent, take quality) for fast search.
- Prep editor handoffs (stringouts, selects, transcript exports, music cue sheets).
- Track edit timelines, manage feedback loops, and keep stakeholders unblocked.
- Support final delivery: ensure exports, captions, and assets are complete and on spec.
What You'll add to the Team:
- Operational Excellence: You turn chaos into checklists. Budgets, schedules, and spreadsheets are your comfort zone.
- Creative Allyship: You speak “director/editor” and know production exists to unlock better creative.
- Scalability: You design repeatable processes so episode 20 is easier than episode 2.
- Vendor Relations: Keep great relationships with studios, rental houses, and freelancers to secure rates and hold dates.
- Compliance & Safety: Insurance, permits, contracts, and safety are always buttoned up.
What We're Looking For:
- 3–5+ years producing for YouTube or digital publisher channels (brand or creator-led). Not agency reel; not long-form TV/film.
- Proven experience running lean, recurring shoots in an office/studio environment.
- Tool comfort: Google Workspace, production calendars (Notion), Frame.io (or similar), and basic Final Cut Pro familiarity for packaging.
- Strong set etiquette, clear comms, and the ability to anticipate problems before they surface.

- Competitive salary - $65-85k (NYC based, in office Monday-Wednesday)
- Gym reimbursement
- Free cellular service on the best network in the US
- Free lunch in NYC office & fully stocked kitchen
