About The Position

This role is responsible for the technical capture of The Diary of a CEO, ensuring the picture and sound of every recording, anywhere in the world, are of elite technical and editorial standard with zero unforced errors. The Video Producer acts as a hands-on hybrid of Director of Photography, Technical Director, and Audio Mixer, guaranteeing that every recording is captured flawlessly in image, sound, and atmosphere, while maintaining a calm, intimate, and uncompromised recording environment. This position involves leading a crew, protecting the intimacy of the recording space, ensuring consistency across all shoots globally, and driving continuous improvement in capture quality and workflow.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years experience as a seasoned multi-camera technical operator.
• Demonstrated experience capturing at DOAC’s technical complexity, including multi-camera, live switching, ISO records, multi-format delivery, and broadcast-grade sound.
• Proven experience on the road, building and directing crews in unfamiliar markets.
• Experience managing the realities of international capture, including kit travel, freight, local crew, and time zones.
• Proficient-to-expert in post-production, covering video editing, sound mixing, and Photoshop.
• Exceptional discretion, able to read the room and operate invisibly inside sensitive, high-trust conversations.
• Obsessive about the small things and driven by a marginal-gains mindset.
• Ability to make the right technical call fast, in the moment, calmly and reliably in a zero-error environment.
• Ability to build, direct, and hold a freelance crew to the standard, including in markets the team has never worked in before.
• Willingness to travel globally with the show.

Nice To Haves

• Genuine craft as a DP and operator.
• Technical Director who can run a live multi-camera switcher.
• Audio mixer who can run sound recording.
• Ability to fill in gaps in edits, thumbnail designs, and supporting assets as needed.
• Energised by a fast-paced, high-expectation, in-person environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the picture and sound of every recording, operating as DP, Technical Director, and Audio Mixer across DOAC’s multi-camera setup.
• Run the camera package personally, covering lighting, framing, exposure, and look, and direct camera operators to the DOAC standard.
• Operate the switcher and the live multi-camera cut, managing ISO records and multi-format delivery.
• Run sound recording across mics, levels, and a clean, broadcast-grade audio capture for every guest, every segment.
• Build and direct freelance technical crew across camera, technical direction, sound, and specialist roles, holding the craft standard on who works on DOAC.
• Source and vet crew in unfamiliar markets, exercising the taste to judge an unknown operator, mixer, or TD cold and hold them to the bar.
• Brief and run the crew on the day so the whole capture team operates as one calibrated unit, accountable to DOAC’s technical and editorial standards.
• Protect the recording environment, ensuring the capture operation is never seen and never heard.
• Enforce the “neither seen nor heard” doctrine for crew invisibility.
• Read the room and exercise judgment in real time, knowing when to move, when to hold, and when a technical need yields to the moment.
• Ensure every guest’s in-studio experience is flawless and undisturbed, from arrival through wrap.
• Travel with the show to LA, NYC, London, and anywhere DOAC records, running capture personally on the road, often at short notice.
• Stand up technical capture in any market, covering equipment logistics, freight, local crew, and setup, holding the same standard wherever the show shoots.
• Maintain consistency across geographies so that every recording, wherever it happens, looks and sounds like DOAC.
• Bring proficient-to-expert post skills across video editing, sound mixing, and Photoshop, to inform capture decisions upstream and to execute when needed.
• Capture for the edit, shooting and recording with a deep understanding of how material is cut, graded, and mixed downstream.
• Partner with Post to close the loop between capture and delivery, eliminating problems at source rather than fixing them in the edit.
• Obsess over the 1%, committing to marginal gains in image, sound, setup, and workflow every single week.
• Own the technical setup, evolving the camera, switching, and sound systems, tools, and infrastructure at the capture level.
• Introduce and evaluate new technologies, including AI tools, to raise capture quality and speed, and contribute to DOAC’s production experimentation engine.
• Partner with the Head of Production & Production Manager, owning the technical craft and the capture itself.
• Operate inside the production plan, delivering flawless capture against the schedule, crew, and resources the production team sets, and flagging technical needs and risks early.
