Duke & Duck, an animation studio of ~20 people, is looking for an Associate Producer to join our remote team for a six month contract, with the potential to transition into a full time role.
As an Associate Producer, you will be responsible for taking creative concepts from their very beginnings through execution. You will partner with both clients and internal creative folks to create delightful, informative videos that connect with audiences and amplify the messages of our clients.
Every day is different at Duke & Duck, but here are some things you are certainly going to do:
- Write and present story concepts and pitches to the creative team and to our clients.
- Draft scripts, and update as needed based on internal and client feedback.
- Build and maintain schedules to help manage your projects.
- Cast and direct voice actors during recording sessions.
- Edit audio into a clear, engaging story that aligns with each client’s message.
- Strategize with the business team about future projects, and plan our approach for ideas we are interested in pursuing.
- Develop and maintain relationships with our clients and freelancer partners throughout the production process and beyond.
- Review art direction, storyboards, and animation drafts or in-progress work.
- Work with our talented creators to make sure we’re delivering exactly what we promised.
About The Company
Our small studio started in 2009 in Washington, D.C. with a simple mission: make beautiful things, tell stories worth telling, and make a difference. And we’ve succeeded! We work with some of the biggest non-profits and brands and (for some reason) they keep coming back for more.
Our team is small (14 full-time at the moment) and we complement that number with a wider team of freelance animators, editors, DPs, film crews, developers, designers, makers, and more. Our portfolio is rooted in a passion for animation and motion graphics — and that’s still the bulk of what we do — but we are equally excited about other creative media and plan to continue to diversify how we tell stories and create connections with audiences as we grow.
In addition to our commitment to great work, we are equally dedicated to bring a force for good beyond the work we produce. Over half of our work is for nonprofit and cause organizations, and we donate 1% of our revenue to charities that are working to promote economic, gender, and racial equality; reduce poverty and its horrible impacts; and promote a more sustainable future.
Requirements
More than a specific set of experiences or education, we want someone with the right mix of proven project management know-how, creative talent, and communication skills. To do this job well, you must…
- Genuinely enjoy helping people.
- Have a proven passion for telling stories through video.
- Have excellent communication, collaboration, problem-solving and relationship-building skills, especially when it comes to making cool stuff.
- Be a clear, concise, and engaging writer.
- Be uncomfortable with unanswered emails and unreturned calls.
- Be willing to push for the most creative ideas, but understand when to rein it in.
- Be eager to try new creative tasks, even if they are outside of your comfort zone.
- Be willing to jump in and make a mistake versus waiting for direction from someone else.
- Be eligible for work in the USA.
Bonus points:
- You are fluent in Spanish.
- You are always the friend who organizes surprise parties and never forgets a birthday.
Benefits
The biggest benefit is a chance to do something wonderful together. To be a part of a team making art for a living, and hang out with people who feel the same way you do about telling kick-ass stories and solving problems.
Our official benefits include:
- Fully remote team
- Competitive salary (to be disclosed at first interview)
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with matching
- Opportunity to grow your network, meet awesome people, and build a world-class portfolio
- Career growth options
- Matching donation program to amplify your personal philanthropy
