The Pitch

We believe everyone's got brilliant ideas. But what sets YOU apart from the rest? It's making a beeline for out-of-the-box, killer concepts with the ability to make stuff happen. We've got makers and creators - from illustrators to poets to musicians to 3D artists - who bring brands to life, creating and hijacking at the speed of culture. You’ll help us put our hearts and soul into our client's products. Solving business problems in unorthodox ways. Touching audiences with emotions. Mixing art and passion with logic and numbers. All to make magic happen.

Our Senior Producers oversee all aspects of production: estimating, concepting, scheduling, talent, shoot, edit, visual effects, music, and delivery all through a creative execution lens. This position is the hub connecting the Account, Creative, Project Management, Strategy and Business Affairs departments.

Producers coordinate with the digital, social, and experiential teams to ensure synergy of all assets and content. The ideal candidate supports the creative vision and comes from a culture of yes and winning. This role will be based in Australia and reporting directly to the Head of Production.

Here’s where you come in.

• Support and execute the creative concept.
• Develop and articulate production rationale and recommendations.
• A resource to the agency for developing production solutions and strategies.
• Procure, review and negotiate production estimates.
• Coordinate and schedule productions.
• Organize and run pre-production meetings.
• Manage production budgets.
• Review and approve all production-related invoices.
• Advise agency stakeholders in all content production-related matters with creative and budgetary solutions for improving quality.

Define Vayner Success.

• Creative problem solver.
• Be one step ahead – anticipate and guide the team around pitfalls throughout the process.
• Be a diplomat – deal with conflicting personalities and agendas and be able to unite divergent viewpoints.
• Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and integrity.
• Be a savvy ad person who is able to understand strategies, platforms, trends and creativity.
• Be imaginative – bring your own ideas to the table.
• Have a strong visual sense.
• Be flexible – production is not an exact science.

What You Should Know About VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.
