What You’ll Do

Lead high‑volume UGC productions from kickoff through final handoff, managing everything from script review and shoot planning to execution and post‑production coordination.

Capture content independently for paid and organic social campaigns across platforms and formats, producing b‑roll, product shots, and supporting footage with a strong understanding of what feels native.

Run directed shoots with creators and talent, guiding performance with a clear point of view and providing feedback, coaching, and virtual direction.

Collaborate closely with Creative Strategy to evaluate concepts early, test production viability, and ensure creative ideas can be executed effectively.

Own production details including prop sourcing, location planning, shoot prep, and post handoff, balancing multiple productions simultaneously.

Use AI tools to support research, casting preparation, asset organization, pre‑production planning, and workflow efficiency.

Act as a thought partner across teams, bringing production expertise into creative development, workflows, and execution.

Take ownership of final creative output, ensuring content aligns with strategic objectives, meets quality standards, and reflects a strong understanding of platform performance.

What You’ll Need

1–2 years of production or content creation experience, ideally within digital, social, or creator‑driven environments, with experience producing UGC or social content at volume.

Deep fluency in UGC and social‑first content, with a strong instinct for what performs on platforms like TikTok and Instagram and the ability to break down why certain creative resonates.

Strong mobile production skills – filming, lighting, framing, audio capture, and camera settings – to create polished content in a range of environments.

Comfort directing and coaching creators or talent, with a knack for guiding performances that feel authentic, on‑brand, and platform‑native.

A strong creative eye and high attention to detail, with good taste in framing, aesthetics, continuity, wardrobe, and overall shot quality.

Excellent organization and production management skills, with the ability to run multiple shoots and workstreams in parallel.

A self‑directed, proactive working style, with the ability to independently own shoot days, make decisions quickly, and keep production moving without heavy oversight.

Comfort using AI tools and production software to work more efficiently – experience with Adobe Creative Suite, Asana, Airtable, and Google Drive is a plus.

Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment, bringing flexibility, problem‑solving skills, and a positive attitude to evolving production needs.

Based in Los Angeles and available for frequent on‑site shoots, including multiple shoot days per week in Manhattan Beach and other production locations as needed.

Salary Range: $28.85 to $33.65 hourly.
