- Collaborate closely with post-production teams to ensure timely delivery of all required assets.
- Keep complex production timelines on track through proactive communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional coordination.
- Assess, negotiate, and execute contracts, usage rights, and fees in alignment with project budgets and campaign goals—including full budget reconciliation.
- Maintain and continually update a master production schedule, reflecting all active projects and upcoming shoots.
- Operate with a growth mindset—seeking and implementing improvements to workflows, tools, processes, and feedback loops to drive efficiency.
- Collaborate closely with Senior Production Coordinator to tag team production tasks
Experience we’re looking for:
- 3–5 years of production experience in a production company, brand, or creative agency environment.
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.

- Strong product sensibility and a passion for product-focused marketing.
- Deep understanding of budgeting, cost negotiation, and financial management.
- Working familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite.
What You Bring to the Table:
- Exceptional organizational skills, communication abilities, and attention to detail—capable of managing multiple concurrent productions with ease.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and highly productive within a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Skilled at navigating tight timelines and shifting priorities with calm, collaborative problem-solving.
- Strong expertise and enthusiasm for video production, photography, content capture, and digital/social content formats.
- Ability to translate creative concepts into on-brand production executions.
- Strong instincts for anticipating needs, evaluating from multiple perspectives, and making confident, informed decisions.
