Video Producer

Ahrefs Pte. Ltd., Acton, MA, USA

Pay: 60.000 - 80.000

Job type: Full Time


First and foremost, this role is based out of our Acton, MA office. You must be able to get to Acton on a daily basis to work in-person and collaborate with the rest of the video team.

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.

What You’ll Do

Orchestrate production logistics end-to-end: book travel, arrange accommodation, coordinate equipment rentals, manage call sheets, wrangle permits, and ensure every moving part arrives on time

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 escape, 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

Keep post-production moving: liaise with editors, track project timelines, flag bottlenecks, ensure assets are organized and accessible

Build systems that scale: create templates, checklists, and processes that make future productions smoother and faster

You’ll Thrive Here If

You’re a compulsive planner who thinks three steps ahead

Details don’t slip through your cracks

You stay calm when things go sideways

You can juggle without dropping (not literally, but if you can… well done)

You care about the creative outcome, not just the logistics

You communicate proactively and clearly

Bonus

Experience producing for YouTube or digital-first brands

Familiarity with SEO, digital marketing, or data-driven storytelling

Background as a shooter or editor yourself, you know what the team needs because you’ve been in their seat

What We Offer

Healthcare and 401(k) benefits

Generous bonus structure

Annual company retreat (usually skiing)

Conference and learning budget

Meaningful ownership over your work and the autonomy to run with it

Basic video equipment will be provided, with more resources available by request
