About The Position

We're looking for a Video Producer who thrives in the controlled chaos of production, someone who can lock down transport, accommodation, and kit before breakfast, then spend the afternoon shaping an edit with the team. You'll be the operational backbone of our YouTube content operation, ensuring every shoot (whether it's a multi-day location production or a nimble studio session) runs on time, on budget, and without drama. Success here means the crew never wonders where they're meant to be, the talent always has what they need, and the creative work can happen because the logistics are bulletproof. You'll work closely with the Head of Video and a small team of editors and producer/editors, juggling multiple projects while keeping your eye on the creative vision.

Requirements

• Must be able to get to Acton on a daily basis to work in-person and collaborate with the rest of the video team.
• Compulsive planner who thinks three steps ahead

• Care about the creative outcome, not just the logistics
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats
• Communicate proactively and clearly

• Background as a shooter or editor yourself

Responsibilities

• Manage budgets and vendor relationships: track spend across productions, negotiate with freelancers and suppliers, keep everything on-budget without sacrificing quality
• Run point on shoot days: ensure the schedule holds, problems get solved before they escalate, and the team can focus on capturing great content
• Collaborate on creative direction: work with the Head of Video on shot lists, scripts, and creative decisions; bring ideas that make the work better
• Coordinate with freelancers and talent: brief external crew, manage expectations, ensure everyone knows their role and the plan
