THE PERSON

We're looking for a Producer to join our expanding and highly talented Film Team in the West Midlands. You'll have at least three years' experience as a producer with an agency or production company creating creative, cutting-edge brand, marketing and comms films.
You will take each project from client brief and creative treatment through to scripting and development, pre-production, shoot, post and delivery. The films will range from branded content, internal and external communications, PR, learning, promotional and documentary. What is consistent is each film we produce must convey a message in the most creative and engaging way possible.
The ideal candidate will have a varied production experience with some brand or communications background with a solid understanding of creative development and scripting. You will have produced similar films to us and clearly demonstrate you can take a project from brief through to delivery.
