Job Description

About the Role

VMG is looking for a Creative Project Producer who can help deliver great work for enterprise clients while building real relationships with both clients and creative teams. This person brings a broad creative understanding across video, animation, design, and digital assets, along with enough agency experience to understand the pace, collaboration, and flexibility this work requires.

This is a process-driven role for someone who is also comfortable navigating ambiguity. We’re looking for someone with a flexible, curious mindset and enough creative fluency to spot potential issues early, ask the right questions at the right moments, and keep the work moving.

VMG is genuinely AI-forward, from how we plan projects to how we produce them. We’re looking for someone who shares that curiosity and is excited to explore how AI can support smarter, faster, and more thoughtful creative work.

What You'll Actually Do

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for assigned clients, understanding their goals and translating them into clear, workable production plans.
• Build and maintain detailed workback schedules across video, animation, design, and digital asset deliverables, flagging risks before they become problems.
• Track project time, maintain accurate status reporting, and reconcile expenses against budget with minimal oversight.
• Review work-in-progress including cuts, comps, storyboards, and builds with enough craft fluency to catch issues, brief drift, or quality gaps, then route decisions to the Creative Director or client rather than deciding unilaterally.
• Lead live-action shoots end to end, including hiring and managing crew, and serve as the primary point of contact for clients on set.
• Coordinate resourcing and handoffs across designers, animators, and editors so nothing stalls while waiting on a decision or asset.
• Work fluently with the AI tools already in our producer and production workflows, including ChatGPT and custom GPTs, Claude for project plans and workflow builds, Eddie AI, Eleven Labs, Vectorizer AI, and Adobe Firefly. Stay genuinely curious about new tools and workflows as they emerge, and bring informed recommendations back to the team.

What Makes Someone Right for This

• 5+ years of experience producing creative projects, ideally in an agency, studio, or in-house creative environment.
• Experience working with enterprise-level clients and the polish, communication, and follow-through that comes with it.
• Comfortable running a set, including hiring and leading crew, managing the day’s schedule, and keeping clients confidently informed on location.
• Previous agency experience, so you already understand the pace, rhythm, and moving pieces of agency work.
• Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented. You catch the thing before it becomes a fire.
• Comfortable with the administrative backbone of the job, including time tracking, status reporting, and expense reconciliation, and you do it consistently, not as an afterthought.
• A genuinely excellent communicator, written and verbal, with strong client-service instincts.
• Broad working knowledge of creative production workflows across multiple disciplines, enough to know what a healthy handoff looks like and where things typically break, without needing to be the domain expert in every craft.
• Calm and capable under pressure, backed by the preparation and communication that keeps most problems small.
• Process-driven, but comfortable navigating ambiguity when a project doesn’t fit the standard playbook. Flexible and genuinely curious rather than rigid.
• Clear about the line between recommending and deciding. You have opinions, you share them, and you respect that the Creative Director and client have final say.
• Curious about AI tools and emerging workflows, with a practical eye for where they genuinely help and where they don’t yet. Hands-on experience with ChatGPT and custom GPTs, Claude, Eddie AI, Eleven Labs, Vectorizer AI, or Adobe Firefly is a plus, not a requirement.

Nice to Have

• Experience with eLearning production, including familiarity with standards like SCORM.
• Familiarity with 3D workflows and pipelines.
• Experience with branding projects, from identity systems to brand guidelines.
• Experience with localization workflows, including vendor coordination, language versioning, and QA.
