About 24G
24G is a knowledge infrastructure company that helps enterprises capture and scale institutional expertise through content, technology, and AI-enabled systems. Our work spans media production, training, branded content, and workforce enablement for clients in automotive, manufacturing, and distributed workforce industries. We move fast, solve complex communication challenges, and build content and experiences that deliver measurable business impact.

About The Role
We’re hiring a Production Lead. This is a project management role at heart. You’ll run complex productions with many moving parts from start to finish, and step in to lead a video shoot when the work calls for it.

This role sits at the center of how projects move through our organization. You’ll own timelines, coordinate across teams, keep clients informed, and make sure the right people are working on the right things at the right time. When a project involves a shoot, and many do, you’ll take that on too. But the core of the job is making projects run smoothly from kickoff to delivery, no matter how many moving parts they have.

You’ll join a lean team that moves fast and has live projects already in motion. Our work spans branded content, training, campaign work, podcasts, and media production, with a heavy current focus on automotive. The right person is just as comfortable in a project plan as they are on set, and moves between both without losing momentum.

This is the right role if you think of yourself as a project leader first: someone who builds structure, owns timelines, manages relationships, and keeps work moving. Video production is one of several tools you bring to that work.

What You’ll Own
Project Management & Production Coordination

Own the full lifecycle of multiple concurrent projects, from kickoff and scoping through delivery and close‑out

Build and maintain project plans, schedules, and status across internal teams, freelancers, vendors, and clients

Translate briefs and client feedback into clear next steps for everyone working on the project: creative, post‑production, instructional design, and account

Identify risks to scope, timeline, or budget early; drive resolution before they affect the work

Run status meetings and client check‑ins; keep stakeholders aligned on decisions, dependencies, and what’s coming next

Act as the single source of truth across account, creative, instructional design, and post. You’re the person teams come to for status, decisions, and prioritization

Contribute scoping inputs, effort estimates, and feasibility checks during pitches and project planning

Content & Video Production

Produce a range of content types including branded video, corporate training, campaign work, podcasts, and media assets

Manage asset gathering, script coordination, and production prep so editors and crew have everything they need

Oversee post‑production workflows: give editors clear direction, manage revision cycles, and ensure final delivery meets the brief

Review final assets for quality, accuracy, format, and brand alignment before client delivery

Lead shoots when projects require on‑location or studio production: build call sheets, manage crew, coordinate talent and locations, and handle the calls that come up on the day

Assess when freelance crew is needed; manage briefing, communication, and oversight

Support podcast production workflows, including use of AI tools for transcription, rough cuts, and asset tagging

Media & Workflow Operations

Maintain organized media infrastructure: file management, project archives, asset storage, and delivery documentation

Oversee Vimeo deliveries, review links, scripts, transcripts, and project documentation in internal systems

Partner with our editor on workload prioritization and post‑production direction

What You Bring
Required

5+ years of project leadership in production, agency, studio, or a similar creative environment, owning complex work with many stakeholders from start to finish

Strong project management instincts: organized, proactive, and comfortable owning multiple timelines, budgets, and stakeholders at the same time

Experience producing across content types: branded, training, campaign, documentary, podcast, or similar

Ability to give editors and post‑production teams clear, actionable direction and manage them to deadline

Comfortable on a set and able to lead a shoot when the project calls for it: call sheets, crew, talent, and the calls that come up on the day

Strong communicator who keeps people informed, flags issues early, and follows through

Experience coordinating across internal teams, freelance crew, vendors, and external partners

Strongly Preferred

Agency, studio, or client services experience with multiple concurrent clients

Automotive and/or corporate training content background

Comfort with project management tools like Asana, Monday, or Notion for tracking projects, tasks, and status

Familiarity with Adobe Premiere post‑production workflows

Experience managing production‑heavy campaigns across multiple shoot days

Background that blends project management and hands‑on production. For example: a producer who grew into PM, or an agency PM who learned production

Who Thrives Here

You think in systems. You build processes, document what matters, and leave things better than you found them

You manage up, across, and down without being asked. Proactive communication is your default

You’re comfortable leading without perfect information and making confident calls in real time

You switch contexts fluidly: Monday is a project status call, Tuesday is on set, Wednesday is reviewing edits

You take ownership seriously and don’t need someone else to close the loop for you

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If…

You’re primarily a creative director or DP who prefers to stay in that lane

You want a role focused on a single content type or medium

You prefer structured task execution over independently leading projects

Managing timelines, stakeholders, and multiple simultaneous workstreams isn’t your strong suit
