About The Position

VaynerX Production Services is the centralized engine that powers production excellence across all VaynerX entities and pods. While each pod is empowered to execute production independently, Production Services ensures that the entire system runs cohesively: operationally, technically, financially, and strategically. This team is not embedded within pods; it operates horizontally across the organization to enable consistency, scalability, and best-in-class production practices across all disciplines and entities. We’re looking for a solutions-oriented Manager, Production Technology to support the day-to-day workflows that power editorial and post-production at VaynerX. This role sits at the intersection of creative production and technical execution, keeping projects moving smoothly through the editorial pipeline, giving teams the tools and support they need, and leading internal Frame.io and editorial processes across the company. This is a unique hybrid role, where your tasks will span hands on assistant editing to big picture policy scaling. Working closely with the Director of Technology, you’ll support editors, assistant editors, and production teams by implementing best practices, troubleshooting workflow issues, and anticipating challenges before they become problems. The ideal candidate is deeply familiar with commercial editorial workflows and thrives in fast-moving environments where technical clarity directly impacts creative output.
