Senior Media Producer | WholeHome Media

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

The Senior Media Producer is the delivery leader of the WholeHome Media team and owns how our client work gets made: what it costs, when it ships, who is on it, and whether it meets the standard. This is a senior seat for a producer who pairs line-producer discipline (budgets, schedules, capacity) with real creative judgment: someone who can develop a concept, direct a shoot, and give an editor useful notes, while running a portfolio of concurrent client engagements rather than one production at a time.

This is a hands-on role. The Senior Media Producer is field-capable and expected to be on set, directing case studies, brand films, and executive interviews for real clients in the trades and home services. Off set, they own the production calendar, project budgets, post-production standards, and the client approval process, and they manage and mentor a growing production team: a Media Producer, a Junior Media Producer, and a network of trusted contractors. This role owns project delivery; client relationships and commercial terms are owned by our account lead, so this seat can stay focused on making great work, on time and on budget.

This position requires significant travel and time away from the office. We think that’s one of the best parts of the job: you’ll see every corner of the US and work side by side with tradespeople, the backbone of our economy, telling the stories of the people who keep America’s homes running.

5 Major Roles:

• Own project budgets, the production calendar, and capacity planning
• Own production coordination and on-time, on-spec delivery
• Lead creative development: concepts, scripts, briefs, and final-cut approval
• Direct and produce shoots requiring senior creative leadership

• Coordinate shoot logistics: rentals, permits, travel, call sheets, and releases
• Run revision rounds and the client review and approval process
• QC every deliverable for quality, brand, and spec before it reaches a client
• Lead creative concepting and treatment development across all formats
• Write scripts and give the senior editorial pass on the team’s scripts
• Direct the edit: rough-cut review, motion, color, and audio notes
• Direct or produce shoots, including multi-day and multi-location productions
• Source, book, and manage the 1099 contractor bench
• Own asset organization, file naming, and archive standards
• Manage and mentor the Media Producer and Junior Media Producer
