CREATIVE PRODUCER

The video team at Weber Shandwick creates award-winning video and animation content for a global roster of clients including Microsoft, Mars Inc, Novartis, Lilly, Unilever, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Roche, Nespresso and many more. Working closely with the client and in-house creative and strategy teams, we develop cross-platform content from initial inception to delivery.

We’re a close-knit team of creative producers, editors, animators and shooters. We are passionate about filmmaking, inside and outside of the office (or currently, our kitchens/sofas), and always looking at ways to learn and evolve our work.

We are looking for a Producer to join our team, reporting to a Senior Producer.

Our producers are hands on and creative, and own their projects, so you should have some experience in producing treatments, storyboards and scripting.

You will own multiple projects in parallel - overseeing pre-production, production and post-production, including animation. You will also support the Senior Producer and Executive Producers on larger projects.

We’re a busy team so you must be able to remain calm and professional in pressured situations while maintaining a positive and proactive attitude.

We are a close team and support each other in all our endeavors so you will be on hand to offer project guidance, quality control, or company when you fancy a coffee/donut/pint.
