Production Operations Coordinator

Summary Gaia is seeking a highly organized Production Operations Coordinator to support the flow of content from production through air schedule readiness while also managing travel logistics for show guests, talent, and internal production teams. This role is an excellent fit for someone with experience in television, media, production coordination, post‑production, scheduling, or studio operations who understands the urgency of deadlines, the importance of accuracy, and the many moving parts required to get content ready for air. On the Content Operations side, you will help move titles through the final stages of readiness, ensuring content is accurate, polished, properly tagged, QC’d, and prepared for release according to the air schedule. On the Content Production side, you will coordinate domestic and international travel for Gaia guests, talent and production employees, managing logistics from booking through arrival to ensure a seamless experience. The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, detail‑driven, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple schedules, deliverables, personalities, and last‑minute changes. At Gaia, soft skills are key to success. We seek candidates with strong interpersonal abilities – effective communication, teamwork, prioritization, and problem solving – who can adapt to change, manage conflicts with empathy, and collaborate well with diverse teams. While technical skills matter, we highly value those who build positive relationships, contribute to a supportive culture, and approach challenges with a solution‑oriented mindset. If this sounds like you, you’ll thrive in our dynamic environment. This is a full‑time, on‑site position at Gaia’s campus in Louisville, Colorado.

Conduct media and content quality control checks to confirm publishing readiness, editorial accuracy, and consistency. With the help of AI, write/edit clear, engaging, audience‑resonant titles and descriptions that reflect Gaia’s editorial voice. Apply taxonomy, strategic tagging, AI tools, and audience insights to improve discoverability, navigation, and content recommendations. Collaborate with production, post‑production, creative, marketing, and publishing teams to align on release timing, messaging, and viewer experience. Assist with content discovery efforts by curating and featuring programs that support audience engagement goals. Maintain a high level of accuracy while working within fast‑moving production and publishing timelines. Travel & Production Operations Arrange domestic and international travel and accommodations for Gaia guests, talent, and production employees.

Coordinate flights, hotels, transportation, and other travel details with professionalism and discretion. Research, negotiate, and secure competitive rates with airlines, car rental companies, hotels, and other vendors. Support smooth operational execution for guests and talent traveling to Gaia’s campus or production‑related events.

Experience in television production, production coordination, post‑production, media operations, scheduling, or a similar deadline‑driven environment strongly preferred. Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple air schedules, content deadlines, travel itineraries, and operational priorities at once. Strong AI skills needed for writing/editing, with a solid grasp of grammar, narrative clarity, tone, and audience‑focused messaging. Comfortable working with content metadata, taxonomy, tagging systems, naming conventions, or content management workflows.

Ability to communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams, guests, talent, vendors, and production partners.
