Renowned for revolutionizing digital content creation, Beast Industries encompasses a diverse portfolio of ventures that extend far beyond its origins on YouTube. With a mission to entertain, inspire, and create significant social impact, Beast Industries operates across various domains including digital media, philanthropy, consumer products, and innovative business initiatives. At Beast Industries, we believe in the transformative power of digital media and its potential to entertain, educate, and effect positive change. Our commitment to innovation, creativity, and philanthropy drives us to explore new frontiers, create unforgettable experiences, and build a legacy that inspires future generations. Build the production organization behind a growing portfolio of original content. We're building a growing direct-to-consumer content business with an expanding slate of original programming. As our content portfolio grows across live programming, long-form unscripted series, creator-led content, and live experiences, we're looking for an experienced production leader to build the organization responsible for bringing that slate to life. The Head of Production is responsible for building and scaling the production function that supports this growing portfolio. You'll oversee production across multiple concurrent projects while establishing the people, systems, and operational infrastructure needed to support an ambitious and evolving content strategy. This role is focused on production leadership, not creative development. Programming will continue to own creative direction, editorial decisions, formats, and content strategy, while the Head of Production owns operational execution across the slate. Success requires building a production organization that can deliver consistently at scale while partnering closely with creative, product, engineering, marketing, finance, legal, and business operations teams.

Requirements

• 12-15+ years of production experience, with significant leadership responsibility across long-form unscripted television, streaming, digital media, live programming, or a related entertainment environment.
• Experience leading multiple complex productions simultaneously and balancing quality, schedule, budget, and execution across competing priorities.
• Deep expertise in production operations, including budgeting, scheduling, staffing, vendor management, locations, stages, contracts, payroll, permits, and logistics.
• Experience building and leading high-performing production teams and creating systems and processes that enable organizations to scale.
• Ability to partner effectively with creative leaders, providing operational guidance while supporting ambitious programming and evolving production needs.
• Ability to thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities change quickly and bring structure, sound judgment, and calm execution through ambiguity.
• Frequent travel should be expected based on production schedules and business needs.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a high-performing production organization, including production executives, line producers, production managers, post-production leaders, coordinators, and external partners.
• Own production budgets, forecasts, schedules, staffing plans, and operational capacity across the slate.
• Manage all aspects of production operations, including crews, vendors, locations, stages, permits, contracts, insurance, payroll, travel, transportation, equipment, and logistics.
• Partner closely with Programming leadership to evaluate production feasibility while supporting creative ambition with operational discipline.
• Establish scalable production standards, workflows, reporting, approval processes, and delivery frameworks.
• Build relationships with studios, production companies, creators, vendors, and external production partners.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams to ensure content is delivered effectively across digital platforms and supported by complementary content initiatives.
• Serve as the executive escalation point for production risks, scheduling conflicts, budget pressures, vendor issues, and delivery challenges.
• Continuously improve production operations through stronger systems, organizational design, technology, and vendor strategy.
