We're looking for an experienced Senior Producer to join a fast-paced creative content agency, leading the delivery of high-quality video and photographic productions from start to finish.

You'll oversee projects across pre-production, production and post-production, working with creative, strategy and client services teams, as well as directors, filmmakers, photographers and editors, to turn creative concepts into standout content.

You'll be responsible for ensuring projects meet the client brief, deliver against agreed KPIs and achieve a high creative standard, while maintaining strong control of budgets, margins and schedules. You'll also act as a senior point of contact for clients throughout production, building trusted relationships and ensuring clear, transparent communication.

As a senior member of the production team, you'll support and mentor junior producers, sharing your experience and helping to develop efficient, effective ways of working.

The day to day:

Lead medium to large-scale video and photographic productions from pre-production through to final delivery
Manage crew bookings, travel, risk assessments, call sheets, insurance, permits and locations
Coordinate closely with clients and internal teams to keep projects on schedule
Build strong relationships with clients, talent, suppliers, freelancers and production partners
Lead shoots, ensuring they run smoothly, safely and to schedule
Work closely with directors, creatives, filmmakers, photographers and editors to ensure the creative vision is maintained through production and post-production
Track budgets, identify potential overages and efficiencies, and support delivery against agreed profit margins
Support pitches and creative proposals, including sourcing talent and influencers
Negotiate contracts, freelancer fees and talent usage rights
Maintain accurate project information, timelines, tasks and budgets within production management systems
Help develop and improve production processes and documentation
Mentor and support Junior Producers, providing guidance and oversight
Ensure productions follow relevant sustainability policies and contribute ideas for reducing environmental impact

Must-have:

2-3+ years' professional experience producing video and photographic content, ideally within a creative content agency or production environment
Strong, hands-on experience across both pre-production AND post-production - essential
Proven ability to take productions from initial planning through shoot and post-production to final delivery
A strong track record of delivering multiple projects on time, within budget and to a high creative standard
Solid understanding of end-to-end production workflows
Experience coordinating shoots, including crew, locations, logistics and travel
Strong organisational and time-management skills
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
Ability to problem-solve quickly and confidently in a fast-paced creative environment
Basic experience with contract negotiation and talent usage rights
Good understanding of digital and social content formats
A developing network of industry contacts
Commitment to sustainable production practices
A proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused approach

You're an experienced producer who is comfortable working in a creative content agency environment and owning productions from brief through to final asset delivery. You can confidently move between detailed pre-production planning, managing a busy shoot and overseeing the post-production process.

You're commercially aware, highly organised and calm under pressure, with the confidence to make decisions and solve problems in real time. You're equally comfortable working with clients and creative teams, and you enjoy supporting and developing more junior producers.

Occasional international travel may be required.

This job description provides a summary of the role and responsibilities. As with any role within a growing business, responsibilities may evolve according to the needs of the organisation.

Handle actively welcomes applicants from under-represented backgrounds - we pride ourselves on attracting the best talent for every opportunity through a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
