Video Producer

**Job description**

We’re looking for a talented video content producer to join our team. This is a full time role, managing video, motion and graphic design productions from brief through to successful delivery.

We’re a busy team, working on a whole host of different types of content; delivering shoots, post-production editing, motion graphics, graphic design and creative, visual effects, live-stream and event videos. You’ll be able to demonstrate that you’ve got experience working across a broad range of projects.

You’ll be right in the centre of the action; liaising with clients from start to finish, contributing to creative solutions with the wider team, managing and co-ordinating our people to get content delivered on budget and on time. You’ll be a great communicator managing the client, talent and crew on set, on location and through post-production.

We need a great team player; able to manage and co-ordinate teams of varying sizes to make sure we keep putting out brilliant work. You’ll have the ability to communicate clearly, effectively and passionately so that everyone is aligned on each job - making sure everyone has a clear brief of what’s expected from them. You’ll need the ambition and drive to want to deliver the best project each and every time whilst helping us to grow.

We’re looking for someone who’s highly experienced and who’s as excited about coming up with a creative approach to a project, as they are about the clear and detailed plan for delivering it. You’ll be commercially aware; with the ability to build budgets for clients and then stick to them. You’ll have the ability to quickly break a project down into its constituent parts and know the people, skills and time that are needed at each stage.

A keen eye for detail is essential. You’ll be an expert in making sure all the bases are covered; that props, talent and locations are sourced and cleared, that music, voice artists and post-production are all aligned with a clear flight plan. And that edits and animations are quality controlled for quality and consistency.

Our week kicks off with everyone in the Huddersfield office on Mondays, setting the tone for collaboration. Throughout the week, we come together to innovate, problem-solve, and work cohesively as a team. We take a flexible approach to our work - working remotely when it suits our schedules and preferences; as long as everything gets done, deadlines are hit and everyone on the team can collaborate.
