  • Produce and manage budgets, with a keen eye for detail
  • Mentor and support production team members
  • Allocate and oversee projects to the rest of Production team

ABOUT YOU

From our studio in Glasgow, you’ll be working as a key member of our close-knit team on your own projects as well as overseeing the output of the Production team. Reporting to our CEO, you’ll excel at bringing the best team for the project together, number crunching budgets and being able to keep one eye on the little details whilst the other is focused on the bigger picture.

We’re an innovative end-to-end creative agency, so you’ll take projects from creative development to post-production and delivery. Whether you’re contributing to pitches, seamlessly organising and running shoots or delivering edits on time, you’ll be working to the highest possible standard.

You’ll be a born organiser, calm under pressure and be able to embrace change to keep things moving forward. Sound like you? Ideally, you’ll also tick the following boxes:

  • 3 years+ in a Head Of Production role, or 5+ years experience as a Senior Producer in a production company/agency setting
  • Experience creating and managing budgets, with past responsibility for delivering projects on budget
  • Proven experience in managing international shoots and crews
  • Proven experience of on-set production of branded, commercial and documentary shoots
  • Experience producing branded content 
  • Good technical knowledge of post-production processes, archive and music clearance, permits, insurance, contracts and safety, as well as demonstrable experience with asset deliveries, ideally for both online and broadcast 
  • A great diary of contacts and relationships within the industry
  • Demonstrable experience of working with athletes and/or sports brands and have a keen personal interest in sports. 
  • A positive attitude and drive to create great work with great people - you’ll be adept at collaborating as part of a team and multi-tasking across multiple projects.
