What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Producer position at We Are Social?
THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Producer to join our team and work across our key accounts – bringing with them experience in delivering integrated program deliverables (content, IRL, social) with an enthusiasm to work in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
WE ARE
A creative agency powered by social connections. That means we thrive on what’s trending and creating campaigns that get people buzzing. We call it “Ideas Worth Talking About,” and we're proud to have played a part in some of the most culturally relevant campaigns of the decade for brands like McDonald’s, adidas, Universal Studios, and YouTube.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE
- We like to laugh, we live for celeb gossip and we’re great on AUX.
- Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more!
- You best believe we know how to celebrate our wins. And our losses (it’s how we learn).
- From carbon offsets to community kitchens, we’re passionate about making a difference.
- Did we say snacks? Because we have great snacks. (Shoutout to Sheila who keeps the kitchen stocked.)
YOU ARE
- A person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, responding quickly and proactively
- Not interested in just following trends – you want to create them
- A self-starter, who’ll take ideas from concept to execution, navigating feedback like a pro
WHAT YOU’LL DO
The Producer will be responsible for delivering projects on an ongoing basis, collaborating closely with the Account and Creative teams. You will draw on your existing knowledge and expertise of how to produce and execute deliverables efficiently, including budgeting, delivering timelines, booking resources, and managing fast-moving pre- and post-production workflows.
You need to be a natural and confident communicator, friendly and approachable with attention to detail and accuracy in all communication, whether internal or external. You should have a solid understanding of all phases of production and a willingness to get your hands dirty – from building shot lists, location scouting, sourcing props, quality checking assets, or even set decorating – you’re down for whatever it takes to get the job done, on-time and on-budget.
What does the role involve?
- Taking ownership of assigned production projects and seeing them through to completion, but also…
- Creating timelines, estimating creative lift, booking and managing resources and ensuring that agency and freelance resources are used efficiently
- Managing production budgets and reconciling jobs
- Physically attending shoots and understanding this role may consist of 25% travel
- Owning pre- and post-production workflows for always-on content initiatives
- Ensuring all work is signed off at the right stages, by the right people
- Working with Accounts and Finance to properly reconcile production and post-production phases
REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS ROLE
- Demonstrable production experience working on a wide variety of marketing and content deliverable types, preferably within an agency or in-house environment
- Familiarity with agency turn-around times and ways of working, good understanding of the dynamics of agency processes, and enjoy the pace and challenges this brings
- Proactive nature and problem solving skills, with the ability to mitigate issues as soon as they are identified, propose creative solutions, and know when to escalate issues
- Detail oriented and able to juggle multiple project assignments at once
- Confident and positive with a ‘can-do’ attitude
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
- Creative and plugged in to social content trends
- Experience in Workbook or similar agency management tool a plus
