Job description

• About the Role: As the Creative Producer, you will own both the story and the production for unscripted/lifestyle videos - from concept approval through final cut, and from pre-production through wrap. This is a hybrid creative and producing role: you are the senior creative content authority on the channel and will work closely with the Channel Manager/LP who to ensure every shoot happens on time, on budget, and at the quality bar required. You'll direct on-camera talent, shape narrative architecture in pre-production, partner closely with the Lead Editor in post, and personally produce every shoot in the field.
• This role is for someone who can hold both sides of production at once - the creative instincts to find the story in real moments, and the operational discipline to plan a shoot down to the minute. It's a builder role for someone who can think like a creator, direct like a showrunner, and run a set like a seasoned producer. If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
