Job description

We are Wiser, an award-winning Employer Branding & Early Talent agency. We build employer brands to guide the best in the biz into their dream career with our clients.

We’re a home for people who think big and expect more; where creative and recruitment meet to change the way people think about work — not to mention having the only rainforest in Farringdon.

Our creatives use design, product, film, strategy and marketing to capture what makes companies great and showcase it in the market. Our recruitment teams introduce the right people at the beginning of their career to set these companies apart.

We believe that people will do their best work when they're in a space that enables it. And that's what we've shaped at Wiser — a culture where everyone can be real and back themselves, surrounded by high performers who take ownership of their career and make moves, no matter what their background.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a super-organised and detail-driven Production Coordinator to join our Films team. You’ll support the Head of Films ensuring all our shoots and projects running smoothly — from pre-production through to post-production delivery.

You’ll be responsible for everything that keeps production moving behind the scenes — with a particular focus on call sheets, risk assessments, contracting, crewing up, permits, and reconciling budgets. This is a brilliant role for someone looking to step up in production and work across a huge variety of content and clients. The role may also involve UK and international travel to support shoots.

WHAT WILL YOU SPEND YOUR TIME DOING?

Production & Operations Support:

• Support the Head of Films in managing production logistics across all Films projects
  

• Assist with budgets and reconciliations, ensuring spend is tracked and logged
  

• Help manage and maintain production documents, templates and agreements
  
  

Pre-Production:

• Create and manage production paperwork, including:
  
  

  • Call sheets
    
    

  • Risk assessments
    
    

  • Crew and talent contracts
    
    

  • Permits and location agreements
    
    

  • Kit hire and bookings
    

• Coordinate crew, freelancers and talent bookings
  

• Support with scheduling and pre-production meeting notes
  
  

On-Set & Delivery Support:

• Act as a key point of contact on shoot days — supporting the Producer and Head of Films
  

• Support UK and international shoots as required
  

• Ensure smooth delivery to post-production teams (handover of files, music licenses, release forms etc.)
  

• Support the Head of Films with tracking final project delivery and wrap documents
  
  

WHO YOU ARE:

• 2–3 years experience in production coordination, production assistant or similar
  

• Strong understanding of on-set roles, production paperwork and shoot logistics
  

• Excellent organisational skills — comfortable managing multiple projects at once
  

• Experience in creating and managing risk assessments, call sheets and contracts
  

• Familiarity with budgets, cost tracking and reconciliations
  

• Strong communicator — confident working with internal teams, crew and clients
  

• Comfortable working across UK and international shoots
  

• A love of film and creative content — and a drive to make great work

PURPLE PERKS: WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?



• A Happiness team whose role is to make Wiser the best place to work possible. Whether it’s keeping the office stocked up with snacks, sending you a care package when you’re poorly, or planning the next Wiser party, they make the office a much happier place

• A culture calendar full of options - from black tie to sports day, book club or run club, there’s something for everyone.

• We’re pretty proud of the space we have here - from phone booths to walking pads, all the way to a rainforest for focus-time… whatever vibe you need, you can find it here.

• The W breakfast - our Happiness team makes sure everyone starts the day right with a hotel-worthy breakfast spread. Fancy coffee tap and unlimited fizzies on offer too.

• On top of your holiday allowance, the office also closes for up to 2 weeks over the festive period so we can all recharge before coming back in the new year.

• Wiser Bank Holiday - a beloved Purple People tradition in the form of an extra day off in October each year to celebrate our first ever million-pound-month (Yep, it happened in 2022 and we still celebrate)

• Moving House Day - one of life’s most stressful events made easier by an extra day off.

• Work from Anywhere allowance - everyone has a number of days to work from home or wherever they fancy. Whether it’s staying home on to snuggle your cat or working from Greece for a week in the summer, WFA is the answer

• Learning & development - our monthly ‘Wiser Way’ days give you the chance to choose from a selection of training modules taught by our leaders. Whether it’s how to craft the perfect deck with our Creative Director, how to speak confidently about commercials with our CFO, or get some tips on managing for the first time with our Head of People, the schedule has something for everyone

• Therapy - with 5 therapists to choose from, each year you can get up to x3 therapy sessions subsidised through Wiser to take either here in our own secret Log Cabin, externally or online (you pay £20 a session and we cover the rest)

• Vitality Health Insurance - full coverage once you’ve passed probation. From necessities like the dentist, doctors and opticians, to mega rewards like Champneys, gym and travel discounts, it’s a winner.

• Gymbox - once passing probation, you can access our exclusive Wiser x Gymbox partnership where you can bag your Gymbox membership for less than half price.
