About The Position

The Premium Content Production team within Amazon Brand Innovation Lab is
looking for an experienced, passionate Sr. Producer with a track record of
delivery, ownership, and support of award-wining, on-time, and on-budget
executions of video and experiential projects. The Sr. Producer will be part of
the Premium Content Production team and help scope, win and execute unique

IP. The Sr. Producer will lead strategically in scoping video production

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree
• Experience managing and coordinating multiple projects simultaneously
• Experience dealing with high profile talent
• 7+ years of production experience at an ad agency or in-house creative team experience
• An online portfolio that demonstrates past production experience
• Experience producing live events and experiential activations
• Experience producing co-branded campaigns, managing multiple key-stakeholders
• Experience in managing video productions and an interest in technology including AI

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of Adobe Premiere and/or Photoshop
• Knowledge and samples of AI use in the production process

Responsibilities

• Become the Creative Directors’, Art Directors’, and Copywriter’s closest partner. You are in the loop early within the pitch phase, contributing ideas and shaping the production deliverables based on the CD’s, AD’s, and Writer’s vision, the client brief, and timeline/budget realities. Rather than a one-time check-in point, this partnership starts during pitching and continues through advertiser touch points (presentations) and deliverables execution.
• Plan production logistics and scope production (content) deliverables on complex projects: including production budgets, detailed timelines, and deliverables tech specs.
• Manage the entire production process through final delivery of assets: 3P production vendor bidding, pre-production (casting, location scouting, set designs, etc.), production (live action shoots, animation, CG development, experiential live event), and post-production (offline and online editing, scoring, sound mixing, etc.)
• Take initiative when roles and responsibilities are undefined, providing clarity and direction to ambiguous creative situations.
• Identify, vet, hire, and manage all 3P production vendors for any given production, regardless of scope and complexity.
• Work internally with Legal, Finance, Ad Policy, and Amazon PR teams to create scalable processes and drive best practices for creating, clearing, and publishing custom content.
• Have an understanding of production pricing benchmarks.
• Have an understanding of legally engaging with external talent and social media influencers, as well as licensing music or any other content.
• Drive cohesion and influence cross-team collaboration between various stakeholders, both within Amazon and beyond — to successfully deliver on your productions.
• Have an understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud and, ideally, a passion for film editing, music, and/or any other aspect of filmmaking.
• Anticipate and effectively mitigate problems; and consistently communicate to stakeholders about updates on progress, relevant delays or issues and budget implications.

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
• 401(k) matching
• paid time off
• parental leave
