This senior hands‑on production role is focused on writing, producing, shooting, editing, and delivering high‑impact creative content across multiple markets and platforms.

As a Senior Content Creator, you will own complex client, market, regional, and national creative projects while helping guide creative execution, strengthen production quality, and support the development of other Content Creators. This role is ideal for someone with strong production judgment, advanced hands‑on skills, and the ability to lead by example without losing connection to the work.

This is a senior creative role for someone who can step into the most important projects, shape scripts and concepts, produce shoots, solve edits, protect quality standards, and help bring priority work across the finish line.

As an ACCET Senior Content Creator, you will create and help lead commercial, branded, digital, promotional, and multi‑platform content for assigned markets while supporting strong creative quality, clear communication, and reliable delivery.

Lead High-Quality Creative Production

• Write, produce, shoot, edit, and deliver commercial spots, branded content, digital campaigns, promotional creative, and other client deliverables.
• Own high‑profile, complex, or priority projects from concept through final delivery, including scripting, pre‑production, field production, editing, graphics, audio, revisions, approvals, and exports.
• Develop creative that is clear, compelling, strategically aligned, and appropriate for the audience, platform, client, and market need.
• Maintain high standards for storytelling, visual quality, brand consistency, pacing, sound, graphics, and overall production value.
• Use strong creative judgment to solve production challenges, improve creative outcomes, and protect the quality of the final product.

Support Market, Regional, and National Production Needs

• Produce creative work for multiple assigned markets while balancing deadlines, priorities, revisions, and client expectations.
• Support high‑profile, priority, multi‑market, regional, or national productions as business needs require.
• Coordinate production details with Client Services Managers, Strategists, Project Managers, Sales teams, clients, and market stakeholders.
• Help keep production moving during urgent deadlines, high‑volume periods, priority campaigns, or complex client deliverables.
• Adapt quickly to changing production needs, shifting priorities, production constraints, and time‑sensitive requests.

Provide Creative Leadership and Team Support

• Serve as a senior creative resource for Content Creators, helping support quality, clarity, creative direction, and production problem‑solving.
• Provide constructive feedback, practical guidance, and creative support to help teammates strengthen scripts, shoots, edits, graphics, audio, and final delivery.
• Mentor and support Content Creators through knowledge sharing, production best practices, and feedback that helps raise the overall quality of the team.
• Help translate client, Sales, and market needs into clear creative direction that can be executed effectively.
• Model strong professionalism, accountability, collaboration, and creative ownership across ACCET.

Collaborate Across Teams and Maintain Workflow Standards

• Partner with Sales, Client Services, Brand, Digital, Project Managers, and market leadership to understand goals and expectations.
• Participate in creative discussions, campaign planning, production conversations, and feedback exchanges as needed.
• Communicate clearly about project status, creative needs, production challenges, asset requirements, and delivery timelines.
• Use Adobe Workfront and other Sinclair systems to track assignments, respond to requests, update project status, and support workflow accuracy.
• Follow ACCET production standards, file management expectations, brand guidelines, quality‑control steps, and approval processes.
