The Lead Producer oversees YouTube video production, managing logistics, coordinating with teams, and ensuring quality content delivery while solving production problems.
ABOUT AIRRACK
Airrack is a tight-knit team that pulls off ambitious, innovative YouTube videos that get millions of views. We're creative, gritty, and passionate about making content no one else dares to. If you're looking for traditional media, this isn't it. We work hard, have a great time doing it, and we're always pushing to see how far digital storytelling can go!
THE ROLE
We're looking for an experienced producer who's excited by the challenge of making ambitious YouTube videos at pace. You'll work closely with creative to take a concept and figure out exactly how it gets made, work with legal when needed, oversee the AP and JP across all productions, and be the person who makes sure nothing gets dropped and everything is moving. You outline how a video will actually look and feel on the channel, you solve the problems that come up along the way, and you own the result.
