Junior Producer (US)

Location: New York (Hybrid) | Reports to: US Producer | Salary: $90k–$110k, plus equity banding
About Wonder. Wonder is an AI-native creative studio building original, high-quality content with cutting‑edge AI tools. Backed by partners from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, ElevenLabs, Activision Blizzard, and Campfire Studios, we exist to remove traditional production barriers and give a new generation of filmmakers, artists, writers, and technologists the ability to build at speed and scale. We focus on narrative‑first, visually compelling work, and we challenge outdated models of storytelling.
The Role

We're looking for a sharp, high‑agency Junior Producer to own the day‑to‑day running of projects on our growing slate. This is a client‑facing role: you'll be the main point of contact for clients, the person who represents Wonder externally, and the translator who turns a client's creative vision into clear direction for our production teams - and back again.
You’ll need a strong grasp of post‑production workflows, a calm head under pressure, and the instinct to keep creative momentum moving without waiting to be told. You’ll be involved at every stage of a project - from pitching and conception through production and final delivery - keeping things on track, on budget, and clearly communicated across every stakeholder.
You’ll work closely with the US Producer and the UK Production team across a mix of AI‑native short films, commercials and brand campaigns, music videos, and hybrid productions that combine live‑action shoots with generative and traditional VFX. You’ll also support longer‑form feature projects that build out AI‑VFX workflows.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York office, with strong potential for growth into senior production leadership.
Responsibilities

Act as the main point of contact for clients day‑to‑day - managing expectations, communicating progress, and representing Wonder’s standards and values in every interaction
Translate client creative direction into actionable briefs for Creative Technologists, Creative Directors, editors, designers, and wider crew - and translate production realities back to clients clearly and proactively
Own production workflows across multiple projects at once: budgets, timelines, schedules, assets, and delivery, from kick‑off to final handoff
Build, track, and manage budgets and cost reports
Help construct and manage VFX post‑production workflows for longer‑form hybrid feature projects within our IP slate
Contribute to pitch deck development and client proposals
Manage the administrative backbone of a project - paperwork, folder structures, delivery formats - so nothing falls through the cracks
Act as an ambassador for Wonder’s values and community, both internally and externally
You Should Have

At least 4 years of experience in producing or post‑production management, ideally in film, advertising, or branded content
Confidence managing client relationships directly, including navigating feedback and expectations under tight timelines
An understanding of and/or genuine interest in GenAI tools and workflows
Strong familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, Canva, and Apple systems
A clear, proactive communication style - you flag problems before they become fires
The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt quickly as priorities shift
A positive, can‑do attitude and genuine comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy
Bonus Points

Hands‑on experience with AI production tools (Runway, Seedance, etc.)
A design background or a strong eye for visual storytelling
On‑set producing experience
Previous experience in a startup or fast‑paced creative environment
Experience with budgeting software (e.g., Saturation, Movie Magic)
Why Join Wonder?

Join a future‑facing studio that values craft, curiosity, and community
Grow with a company backed by some of the world’s most innovative investors
Help shape the creative approach of an AI‑native studio
