Freelance Producer Job at Walking Shadows Productions Inc in Chicago

Walking Shadows Productions is expanding our freelance production team.

We’re looking for an experienced Freelance Producer

who can step into complex storytelling and branded-content projects and help drive them from planning through delivery.

This is not a reactive coordinator role. We’re looking for someone proactive, highly organized, calm under pressure, and comfortable taking real ownership of a project.

You would work directly with our Creative Director and serve as a key bridge between creative, client, crew, vendors, and logistics.

Typical responsibilities may include:

Managing production schedules, budgets, scopes, and deliverables

Coordinating crews, locations, travel, permits, vehicles, talent, and vendors

Communicating directly with clients and keeping projects moving

Anticipating problems before they become production challenges

Supporting pre-production strategy and production planning

Taking ownership of projects through prep, production, post-production, and client delivery

Our work on commercial projects spans brand storytelling, nonprofit and mission-driven films, and large-scale meeting/event content.

We’re especially interested in producers who have experience managing sophisticated client relationships, executive or organizational stakeholders, detailed production budgets, multi-day location shoots, and complex logistics.

We are looking for a true professional who brings commitment, focus, sound judgment, and dynamic thinking to their work.

This is a freelance, contracted position.

Scheduling is flexible. Compensation is commensurate with experience and negotiable on a project or hourly basis.

Please submit qualifications, directly relevant work history, and three professional references to be considered.
