Video Producer (Project Manager)

We're looking for an experienced producer who loves making corporate accounts happy and flexing their creative muscles with our production team. Sound like you? Awesome. Read on.

The word "producer" is thrown around a lot in the world of video and film. And... it has lots of meanings. As a smaller video agency, we're looking for a producer who can wear many hats, but feels most comfortable orchestrating the needs of a client, handling schedules, mapping budgets, and ensuring our production team has the details to nail the project.

So if you don't necessarily have tons of experience on big production sets, but you are crazy organized, know how to make clients feel great, view spreadsheets as a party, and love working with creative teams — this could be the perfect fit.

We're looking for someone with experience with corporate accounts (sounds boring, but it isn't). Someone who can understand the needs of a client, turn them into a detailed creative brief and organize everything to get our team fired up.

Animus Studios is looking for an organized and experienced producer with a passion for video and a love of project management. You’re the glue and the linchpin connecting our team to the details and a client to awesome video. We’re looking for someone we can trust and who takes pride in their work.

We are seeking a full-time candidate and are offering salary and benefits, including healthcare and retirement. This opportunity enables you to work remotely, ideally in a hybrid model with some weekly time in-studio and, occasionally, on-location time will be required.
