About the Job

Knife Drop Studios' Production Team is looking for an entry-level Production Assistant to support our Boston-based production team. This is a hands-on role helping with shoots and day-to-day production needs, from set support and organization to errands, pickups, shopping, and whatever else the team needs to keep things moving.

You’re positive, reliable, and resourceful. You’re willing to jump in on any task, big or small, and take pride in being someone the team can count on. You’re excited to learn production and understand that supporting a successful shoot means doing both the exciting and behind-the-scenes work.

Personality and attitude matter more to us than previous production experience.

Bonus: you have a passion for food and working in the food space!

This is a part-time, in-person role based in the Greater Boston area. We’re looking for someone who can work approximately 20 hours per week, with flexibility to work weeknights and weekends depending on the production schedule.

What You'll Do

• Assist before, during, and after shoots
• Help with setup, breakdown, organization, and cleanup
• Pick up and return equipment, supplies, food, and props
• Run errands, shopping, returns, and production pickups
• Drive to locations, vendors, and stores as needed
• Load, unload, and organize production equipment and supplies
• Support other production members with day-to-day needs
• Jump in on last-minute requests and other miscellaneous tasks as needed

What You'll Bring to the Table

• 0–3 years of experience, with preference for candidates early in their careers or recently out of college
• Positive, can-do attitude and strong work ethic
• Reliable, organized, and comfortable taking direction
• Strong communication skills and resourcefulness
• Must have a valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle
• Flexible availability, including weekends, early mornings, and non-traditional shoot hours
• Production (especially in food!) experience is a plus, not a requirement
