[Hiring] Senior Video Producer, Branded Content @Dexerto

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Video Producer, Branded Content to lead the hands-on production of custom video campaigns across our branded content and commercial business. This is a senior but highly hands-on production role, rather than a purely strategic or executive-level position. You will be closely involved in the day-to-day delivery of campaigns, taking projects from initial client brief and creative development through pre-production, production, post-production and final delivery.

The work will vary significantly in scale, from fast-turnaround, social-first content designed for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube through to complex, high-production-value commercial advertising campaigns.

• Understand how content needs to be developed and produced differently for digital and social audiences.
• Maintain strong creative, commercial and production standards.
• Experience across digital media, social media, gaming, entertainment, creators, technology, sports or internet culture.
• Strong understanding of how audiences consume content online and how brands can authentically engage with those audiences.
• Experience delivering full-scale commercial advertising productions.
• Manage substantial budgets, professional crews, talent, locations, suppliers and demanding client requirements.
• Collaborate with Commercial, Creative, Marketing and Video Production teams to connect brands with audiences.
• Comfortable operating in creative and commercial environments.
• Ensure every campaign is delivered on time, within budget and in line with agreed objectives.

Qualifications

• Significant senior-level experience producing branded content, commercial advertising and digital video campaigns within a publisher, media company, creative agency or production environment.
• A hands-on producer who enjoys being directly involved in delivering projects and solving production challenges.
• Strong experience producing social-first content, with an excellent understanding of platforms including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
• Deep digital media experience and expertise, including a strong understanding of online audiences, platform behaviours, creators and evolving content formats.
• Experience working within, or a strong understanding of, industries relevant to Dexerto, particularly gaming, entertainment, technology, sports, creators or digital culture.
• Proven experience delivering full-scale commercial advertising productions, including high-production-value campaigns.
• Strong client-facing experience, including leading meetings, presenting production recommendations and managing feedback, expectations and approvals.
• Experience contributing to pitches and translating creative concepts into achievable scopes of work, budgets, schedules and production plans.
• Strong financial and operational oversight, with experience managing substantial production budgets, multiple concurrent projects and complex production requirements.
• Experience producing both long-form and short-form digital content.
• Experience producing creator, influencer or talent-led campaigns.
• An established network of production contacts, crew, suppliers and freelance talent within the United States.
• Strong working knowledge of production contracts, releases, usage rights, music licensing and other legal and compliance requirements.
• Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder-management skills.
• Strong commercial awareness, with the ability to balance creative ambition with budgets, client objectives, deadlines and production realities.
• Experience collaborating effectively with remote and international teams.
• Ability to provide sufficient working-hours crossover with colleagues based in the United Kingdom.

Requirements

• Lead the end-to-end production of custom branded video campaigns.
• Take a hands-on role in the day-to-day management and delivery of productions.
• Develop and lead production approaches across a wide range of budgets and formats.
• Ensure the scale and execution of each production are appropriate for the creative idea, client objectives, platform requirements and available budget.
• Partner with teams to develop compelling, achievable and production-ready campaign ideas.
• Translate client objectives and creative concepts into clear scopes of work, production plans, schedules and budgets.
• Act as a senior client-facing production lead, managing communication, expectations, feedback and approvals throughout each campaign.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects while maintaining clear oversight of timelines, budgets, resources, deliverables and potential risks.
• Lead pre-production and on-location shoots, including sourcing and managing crews, suppliers, locations, creators and talent.
• Brief and coordinate internal and external creative teams.
• Oversee post-production and ensure content is optimised for different digital and social platforms.
• Manage rights, releases, music licensing, usage requirements and other production-related legal and compliance matters.
• Ensure all final content meets agreed creative, technical, legal, commercial and platform requirements.
• Maintain consistently high production standards while delivering work on time and within budget.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with production partners, freelance talent, crews and suppliers across the United States.
• Contribute to improving production workflows, client experiences and opportunities for repeat business.

Benefits

• 20 days’ paid time off (PTO) per year.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Healthcare coverage, with Dexerto contributing towards the cost of personal healthcare.
• Fully remote working within the United States.
• The opportunity to work on high-profile campaigns with leading brands, creators and talent across gaming, entertainment and digital culture.
