We are hiring a full-time, in-person, Video Producer, starting January 16, 2023. Salary range is $50-$70k, depending on experience and skillset, plus benefits. Two years of experience working in the video production industry is required. We would also consider applicants with experience in advertising & wedding/event planning, but we are looking for someone with a strong understanding of how commercial film projects and sets operate.
We are small business, so we wear many hats depending on the project. We are looking for someone who has a degree of flexibility. Every project is different, so we are also looking for someone who is not afraid of challenge and uncertainty, and has a willingness to learn.
Our ideal candidate is someone with a high degree of professionalism and organization. You would be the go-to person for logistics for our projects. You would be working directly with our Executive Producer and interfacing often with our clients, crew, and cast. You will see projects through from initial point-of-contact with the client to the shoot day.
There will be opportunities to take on creative roles, but this is not a principally creative role. We really need someone who is passionate and skilled with communication, organization and logistics. However, producers in the past have grown into other creative roles (editing, directing) and we would welcome that if you show an affinity.
There is some opportunity to work remotely, but this is a mostly in-person role, so you will need to be based in Austin and willing to come into the office at least half the time. Working hours are very flexible when we’re not shooting, but on shoot days hours can run long. We occasionally work weekends and travel for work.
We really enjoy the company culture that we have built so far. Our office is a place where creative folks can flourish and have fun. It’s a peaceful environment. There’s no yelling, ever. You won’t hear coarse language. We’re not very edgy. We just like making cool videos with cool people.
This role is integral to our business operations, so we will be casting a wide net and taking our time to hire the right person. If you are interested, please submit a cover letter, resume, and examples of your work to our Executive Producer: andrew@bennettcreative.co
