Job Description:

We are seeking a dedicated and hyper-organized production operations and creative development specialist who can be relied upon to oversee the day-to-day management of multiple ongoing vertical streaming productions; leading critical coordination, logistics, and administrative efforts to ensure consistently high-quality output that meets deadlines and budgets. 

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in production assisting, production coordination, and production management, with specific expertise within vertical series, streaming, and mobisode productions.

A thorough understanding of the entertainment industry, as well as a strong track record in managing production timelines, budgets, and personnel is required. The ability to think strategically, communicate efficiently, and manage many moving parts is a necessity.

Preference will be given to candidates who have worked in similar roles for film organizations bridging the Western and non-Western markets, including FlexTV, ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, GalateaTV, Playlet, and DreameShort. 

This position will report directly to Interactive Films’ Content Director and will be a hybrid full-time role at our Beverly Hills office.

• Direct the development and iteration of such necessary production components as teasers, trailers, posters, and more in order to effectively promote and drive revenue across global markets. 

• Support Production Manager and Content Director on-set, stepping in to provide necessary production assistance, leadership, and quality control for the purpose of Interactive Films and SaltyTV IP success both domestically and internationally. 

• Work in partnership with the Content Director on frontlines communications, while taking responsibility for facilitating the creation, tracking, and transfer of relevant information and materials across individuals and divisions. 

• Run point on scheduling, showcasing comfortability in holding to and revising timelines as needed, all without deterrent to quarter-end and year-end goals. 

• Create proposals, pitches, presentations, and more to expand Interactive Films’ multimedia portfolio, keep investors informed, clearly show progress, deep dive on data, and secure budget, resources, and sign-off for future projects. 

• Assist Content Director and Production Manager in the organization of junkets, set-up and execution of events, interviews, and shoots, as well as the capture of critical photography, BTS footage, and more on-set. 

• Handle logistics around payments, invoices, and how these impact bottom line budget. Compare against presented deliverables to ensure efficient compensation, and prompt follow-up if deadlines are not met. 

• Implement organizational systems alongside the Content Director to ensure consistency and quality is met across shows, locations, departments, talent, and partners. 

Requirements: 

• 2+ years as a production coordinator within the film and television industry. 

• Exceptional project manager: highly organized, detail-oriented, and communicative, with a track record of successful leadership and high-quality end results. 

• Technical background in film or television production. Strong skill sets in photography, photo editing, post-production, Adobe Creative Suite, and Google Suite is required.
