The Shipyard is hiring: Producer in Columbus

Summary
We are looking for a smart, experienced, and motivated Producer to join our Columbus, OH team. The Producer will join The Yard and support the day-to-day operations of our growing content team. The Yard is The Shipyard's Ohio-based, in-house creative video content studio, specializing in video production and motion content. This role is less about traditional production and more about owning the systems, workflows, and resourcing that keep the team running efficiently. You'll be the central hub across project intake, team traffic, and project management, ensuring the right work is scoped properly, assigned effectively, and delivered on time and on budget. Working knowledge of production and postproduction workflows and skillsets is important.

This is an extremely active role. The Producer is quarterbacking projects rather than someone who is just handling tasks and passively making assignments. The team looks to you to understand priorities, timing, and workload.

This is a hybrid work-from-home/office position (in-office attendance is required on Tuesdays & Thursdays), and the candidate must live near Columbus, OH.
