Video Producer
We're looking for a Switched on Producer
About us
Hi. We’re Skeleton, a video content agency that crafts creative and engaging videos for our clients. We’re a friendly, close-knit team of specialists who believe in continually learning and pushing ourselves.
We help diverse businesses & brands from all over the globe get the most from video (think Boots, Samsung, and Airbus). Our dream is to become the UK’s most-loved video agency famous for our creativity, technical wizardry, and the amazing results we achieve for our clients.
About the role
Working closely with our Producer team, Account Managers, Motion Designers and Production crew, the role involves the management of video projects from planning stage to delivery and beyond. Strong client liaison skills are a must in this client-facing role, as you'll be representing the business with every client touch-point.
The role requires excellence in communication, confidence and clarity when presenting work and a deep understanding of end-to-end video production processes. You'll be familiar with creative development, scripting, filming, motion design, animation, post production and activation. You must be nimble and resourceful in your approach - able to pivot quickly and offer alternative solutions if plans change. On a daily basis you'll be managing creative teams, allocating work and conducting review sessions - at all times ensuring high-quality content delivered on time and to budget.
About You
You’re both analytical as well as a creative thinker. You’re organised, hard working and thorough and you know your way around a spreadsheet. You’re also imaginative, passionate and have great instincts for managing creatives to build projects from script to screen.
Your client liaison skills are excellent. You’re a great communicator, and you build trust because you always have an up-to-the-minute handle on where everything is up to. You also have an agile mindset, able to flex and innovate according to the different needs of each project. You enjoy working independently and as part of a team to solve exciting and challenging client problems.
