Salary: Up to £32,000 dependent on experience
Hours: 40 hours per week
The Role
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and brilliantly organised Assistant Producer to join our team in London.
Someone with previous production or agency experience would be ideal, so unfortunately this is not a job for a graduate just out of university. While making great films is crucial, we also place a high value on providing impeccable client service.
Our clients are all FTSE 100 companies, global brands or charities, that are market leaders in their respective fields, ranging from food and drink to professional services to luxury items. From brief to delivery, you will assist the senior production team in delivering high quality video communications.
Essentials
You will have:
- At least two years experience of working in an agency or production role
- Experience of budget management
- Ideas around creative development
- Experience of on-set management
- Understand a post-production workflow
- Experience of managing client relationships
What you’ll actually do
- Take briefs from clients
- Respond with proposals, treatments and costs
- Assist the Executive Producer to take projects into production
- Organise shoots / book crews / manage internal post-production resources
- Oversee transcriptions and translations
- Run single and multi-camera shoots
- Direct edits
- Direct voiceover recordings
- Regularly review budgets across all projects and take steps to limit overspend
- Attend client meetings and present ideas
Working in the office
We do offer flexible-working but the role is predominantly office based. That means you must live within commuting distance of the studio in Central London and not be phased by the sometimes irregular hours that working in production invariably creates. We do not offer relocation packages or sponsor overseas visas to work in the UK.
