Creative Producer, YouTube & Social

Icon Global Media · Frisco, TX, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Icon Global Media is a media company and creative studio built to help talent, athletes, celebrities, and brands create content and IP people actually care about. We bring together strategy, ideation, creative development, production, post-production, and platform expertise across YouTube, Social Media, branded content, and digital-first media. Our goal is simple: create the best content possible and have a lot of fun doing it.

The Role
This role sits inside Icon’s YouTube division and will be a key producer for Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube channel, while also supporting future YouTube channels, talent-led content, studio formats, branded content, and social-first productions as the company grows.

This is not a passive coordination role. We need someone who makes things happen. You will own the logistics, scheduling, pre-production, locations, guest communication, talent coordination, props, casting, vendors, budgets, production documents, releases, and shoot-day readiness that allow great ideas to become great videos.

This role requires someone who can hold both sides of production at once: the creative instincts to understand the story and the operational discipline to plan a shoot down to the details. The creative team may come up with the idea, but your job is to pressure-test it, identify what it needs, solve the production challenges, and make sure it can actually be executed at a high level.

You will work closely with YouTube strategists, creative leads, production teams, editors, talent managers, booking partners, legal, brand partners, and clients to make sure every shoot is organized, realistic, efficient, and set up to win.

The right person is highly organized, resourceful, calm under pressure, and proactive about solving problems before they even come up. You understand that creator-led production moves fast, schedules change, access is valuable, and shoot days need to be maximized. You are not just checking boxes. You are setting the table for the creative team and talent to walk in and make something great.

What You’ll Do
YouTube Production & Pre-Production

Develop production plans for long-form YouTube videos, including timelines, logistics, locations, guests, crew needs, props, budgets, releases, and shoot-day requirements

Pressure-test concepts before production by identifying creative risks, logistical challenges, budget needs, location needs, talent needs, and possible production bottlenecks

Create pre-production documents, production briefs, call sheets, run-of-show documents, shoot schedules, shot needs, and backup plans

Source and manage production resources when needed, including crew, art directors, set builders, props, vendors, and other specialists required to execute the concept

Make sure every production is organized, realistic, and ready before talent arrives on set or location

Story, Format & Creative Development Support

Help shape the production approach for each video so the concept, structure, guest experience, and shoot plan support the creative vision

Partner with creative leads and editors to make sure the footage captured gives post-production what it needs to build a great video

Stay involved from pre-production through post-production, solving creative and logistical issues instead of handing the project off after the shoot

Talent, Guest & Schedule Coordination

Coordinate with talent, guests, management teams, booking agencies, and internal stakeholders to lock shoot dates, details, expectations, and logistics

Support casting and sourcing for videos that require creators, influencers, athletes, experts, fans, participants, or real people

Build and maintain relationships with talent representatives, booking partners, locations, vendors, and production contacts

Locations, Props & Vendors

Source and secure golf courses, studios, venues, homes, fields, warehouses, sets, and other production locations as needed

Source props, equipment, signage, set pieces, wardrobe, vehicles, games, challenges, and any physical elements needed for a video

Find creative solutions when a concept requires hard-to-find people, places, props, builds, or resources

Shoot-Day Production

Own shoot-day logistics so the creative team, production team, and talent can focus on making great content

Make sure the crew, talent, guests, locations, props, releases, schedules, and production needs are ready before filming begins

Anticipate problems before they slow down the shoot and solve issues quickly when plans change

Ensure all key moments, creative needs, and brand deliverables are captured so the final video hits every required note

Studio & Cyc Wall Production

Help produce studio-based and cyc wall formats for Icon’s YouTube, Social Media, and brand clients

Support formats that require multiple participants, game mechanics, debate-style setups, challenge structures, brand-led concepts, or controlled environments

Work with creative teams to make sure studio concepts are practical, shootable, and built for strong final videos

Short-Form & Social Production Support

Support production setup for social-first and short-form content across Icon clients

Build quick-turn production setups where talent can walk in, film efficiently, and leave with strong short-form content captured

Support short-form series, brand activations, and one-off social concepts that require physical builds, signage, props, participants, or production logistics

Budget, Legal & Production Operations

Build and manage production budgets for assigned projects

Track costs, vendor payments, invoices, purchases, approvals, and production expenses

Coordinate with legal and leadership to make sure releases, contracts, appearance agreements, location agreements, and required paperwork are completed

Keep production documents, contact sheets, vendor lists, templates, calendars, and project information organized and up to date

Cross-Team Communication

Communicate clearly with YouTube strategists, editors, production crews, creative leads, social teams, legal, brand partners, and clients

Keep internal teams updated on production status, risks, needs, changes, and next steps

Bring solutions when challenges arise instead of simply flagging problems

Take work off the plates of leadership by owning details, driving follow-through, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks

Who We’re Looking For
This role is for someone who is highly organized, extremely resourceful, and built for fast-moving creator-led production environments.

You are a make-it-happen person. When an idea needs a guest, a prop, a location, a release, a schedule, a backup plan, or a last-minute solution, you figure it out.

You are not just a coordinator. You understand production at a high level and know how to turn creative ideas into real shoot days.

You have strong creative instincts. You understand stories, YouTube, talent energy, production value, and what a shoot needs to capture for the final video to come to life.

You are calm under pressure. You can manage moving pieces, changing schedules, talent needs, location issues, budget constraints, and last-minute pivots without creating chaos around you.

Most importantly, you take ownership. Your job is to make sure the shoot is ready, the team is aligned, the talent is supported, and the production is set up to execute. You do not wait to be told what to do. You make things happen.

Experience booking or coordinating talent, guests, creators, influencers, athletes, participants, or public figures

Experience sourcing locations, props, vendors, production resources, or hard-to-find elements for shoots

Experience working with releases, contracts, appearance agreements, location agreements, or legal/approval workflows

Experience managing production budgets, tracking expenses, and keeping productions on time and on budget

Experience working in fast-paced production environments where plans can change quickly

Experience producing golf, sports, challenge, competition, studio, or personality-driven content

Experience with studio, warehouse, cyc wall, or multi-participant formats

Experience with branded content, sponsorship deliverables, brand approvals, or partner integrations
