We produce high-impact video content ranging from congressional ads to brand documentaries, social explainers, event coverage, and stories for global tech and commerce clients.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Video Producer / Shooter; a hybrid role for someone who can own production from start to finish, run shoots confidently, and also jump into post-production when needed.

Key Responsibilities (Post-Production)

Edit a range of content: political spots, social cutdowns, testimonials, documentary sequences, event recaps, and branding videos.
Create clean timelines, organized bins, proxies, etc., following naming and storage standards.
Work efficiently within the fast-turn political environment (24–72 hr turnarounds when needed).
Add basic graphics, text layout, and handle audio mixing + color correction at a solid professional level.
Collaborate with designers, editors, and Creative Director for more complex work.
Deliver final exports and ensure all digital/CTV specs are correct.

Key Responsibilities (Production Operations)

Maintain and inventory camera, audio, lighting, and grip gear; recommend upgrades and replacements.
Source and manage local crew when needed (audio, ACs, grips, etc.)
Ensure backups and file transfers follow agency SOPs, especially during multi-state shoots.
Coordinate logistics with internal producers, project managers, and clients.
Support the Head of Production in building scalable production frameworks as the agency grows.
