Producer

WHO ARE WE?

We are On The Tools - the nation's largest online construction community, aiming to entertain, inform, and empower tradespeople in the UK. We're connecting construction to improve the lives of every tradesperson in the UK.

Based in one of the most iconic offices in the West Midlands, a career with us is a vibrant one. If you're looking to be part of something special, something dynamic, something exciting - On The Tools could be the place for you.

ROLE SUMMARY

We're looking for a hands-on Producer who lives and breathes social media and knows how to ideate and create social content that stops thumbs and fuels community engagement. This person will lead production from pitch to publishing - developing ideas, overseeing shoots, and ensuring everything we put out reflects why the trade and brands trust On The Tools. Whether it's leading a full crewed shoot or capturing high-quality content solo using a phone or camera kit, you're comfortable adapting to the needs of each project without compromising on creative standards. This Producer is bursting with ideas, radiates confidence, and is obsessed with turning great thinking into content that performs. It's suited to a passionate and driven individual who will help us enact the On The Tools mission of connecting construction to improve the lives of all tradespeople in the UK.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage multiple video projects simultaneously, from pre-production through to post
• Write comprehensive and engaging platform appropriate scripts and outlines that reflect the brief and brand voice
• Understand (or quickly develop a strong feel for) the needs, humour, and culture of UK trades audiences to ensure all content lands authentically
• Lead shoots end to end as both Producer and Director - overseeing crew, directing talent, and ensuring a smooth, on-brief production
• Adapt quickly to fast-paced, on-location shoots - whether on building sites, at events, or in the thick of real-life action
• Confidently self-shoot content using phones or lightweight kits when needed - capturing footage solo without reliance on a videographer
• Think for the edit and ensure content is fit-for-platform from the outset, championing a social-first mindset
• Collaborate with Creatives and Clients to turn ideas into bold, audience-first executions
• Confidently engage with clients to shape briefs and guide them through the creative and production process
• Respond quickly and resourcefully to real-time trends and reactive opportunities
• Spot and solve production challenges with confidence and calm
• Lead by example within the wider team - shaping process, sharing knowledge, and driving high standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement by supporting team training and exploring new ways to enhance content and workflows
• Ensure all output aligns with our brand mission and why clients trust us
• Bring a can-do, hands-on approach - no ego, no passengers, just people who make things happen

• You bring excellent leadership and communication skills and are able to inspire confidence in both clients and crew
• You've got a passion for all things social and video related, with a deep understanding of what works on each platform and for paid media
• You're highly organised, able to coordinate multiple shoots and projects without missing a beat
• You're a natural on set and in the edit, leading shoots with vision and crafting stories that keep audiences watching in post
