§ 01 - The work
We are looking for an executive producer who has done the actual work - directing, editing, producing - and can now do it across a slate. You will be responsible for a small portfolio of projects at any given time, owning budget, schedule, team, and the editorial standard of the work that ships.
This is a senior role on a small team. You will be a peer to the heads of film, audio, and editorial, and report directly to the studio's founder. You will say yes to projects, and you will say no to projects.
What we want is someone who can hold a film, a podcast, and a longform feature in their head at the same time, and recognize when one of the three is in trouble before anyone else does.
§ 02 - What we look for
01 Eight-plus years producing nonfiction work - film, audio, editorial, or some combination
02 Demonstrated portfolio of shipped projects with named credits
03 Track record managing budgets in the high six figures
04 Comfortable being the person who tells the founder a project should be killed
05 Strong taste - opinions are part of the job
§ 03 - What we don't
We try to be specific about who this role is not for.
Agency producers whose strongest work is brand sizzles
Anyone who has not actually produced something themselves
We read every application within two weeks. We respond to every applicant whose work we read, even briefly. We do not use ATS keyword filters.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
