Producer (Freelance)

About Saylor

Saylor is an entertainment-led creative agency built for brands that want to earn attention, not interrupt it. Founded by former Netflix and Disney marketers, we exist at the intersection of culture, storytelling, and strategy, bringing the sensibility of entertainment to brands ready to act less like advertisers and more like creators.

Saylor exists to help brands become the show - not the ad break. We watched agencies keep making ads in a world where people want to be entertained. We started Saylor to change that: To help brands act like creators, not corporations. To think like publishers, not advertisers. To stop chasing attention, and start earning it.

We’re a tight‐knit crew who collaborate without ego, stay curious, and always show up for one another. We foster a supportive space where diverse perspectives are celebrated, hierarchy never blocks great ideas, and everyone is empowered to jump in, solve problems, and push creative boundaries together.

Position Overview

Saylor seeks a highly organized, exceptionally creative, and social-obsessed Producer to lead the development & execution of social-first campaign and brand content to lead creative production for a global food brand.

You are well-rounded in all areas of Marketing & Content Production with exceptional creative production, post and campaign experience. You have excellent communication skills and can engage all levels of contributors up to executive team members. You are obsessed with social media, entertainment marketing, post-production/editorial, and trends. You are a creative problem solver and are invaluable to the success of your projects. You are comfortable working with different types of creative professionals and creative outputs and lead with kindness and curiosity.

Location and Salary

This is a freelance, non-exempt role with a salary range of $35-$55 per hour, depending on experience. You should anticipate working around 30 hours per week. This person must be LA-based and available to come into the Saylor office in Echo Park two days per week on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Agency Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with the Creative Team on all aspects of a campaign, from conception to completion — including building schedules, informing budgets, and flagging any unusual or high-lift elements (e.g. social shoots, 3D animation, motion capture, specialty capabilities). Note: Detailed budgeting will be done with the Head of Production and a Sr. Producer.
• Partner with Accounts to communicate production feasibility, flags, and budget information directly to clients, maintaining a high standard of client satisfaction in lockstep with the Account Supervisor.
• Creative partner to Strategy — attending brainstorms, contributing to decks and briefs with copy and references, and sharing responsibility on scripts before they go into production.
• Acts as an expert partner on respective content, IP, and brief.
• Oversee treatments and shot lists for shoots in collaboration with the Design Team; work with the Post Supervisor to resource editors, designers, and motion designers appropriately.
• Lead all internal kickoffs and project meetings; when with clients, the AM sets up the call and passes off to the CP for project updates.
• Serve as creative lead on shoots — responsible for production staffing and highest-level on-set execution while the AM fosters the client relationship.
• Consolidate all client notes and feedback into concise, actionable steps; translate those notes back to the team while maintaining the creative goals and purpose of each deliverable.
• Work directly with editors, designers, and motion designers to oversee and uplevel all elements of an edit or static asset: music, SFX, graphics, copy, narrative flow, selects, and scripting.

Food Content & On-Set Production

• Line produces shoot days for food-forward content from prep through wrap—managing crew, talent, locations, and on-set food styling logistics with a calm, solutions-first attitude.
• Bring genuine food knowledge to every production: understand the difference between a hero shot and a lifestyle capture, and know how food needs to be prepped and handled to survive a full shoot day. You will be hiring a food producer for premium shoots
• Be ready and willing to pick up the iPhone and shoot. Whether it’s a quick recipe clip, a creator collab, or a reactive cultural moment, you’re comfortable capturing great content yourself when the project doesn’t require a full crew.
• Develop and maintain a library of scalable, repeatable content formats designed for social platforms—think step-by-step recipe reels, “meal of the week” series, and UGC-style taste tests—that can be produced efficiently at high volume without sacrificing quality.
• Demonstrate fluency in platform-specific requirements (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest) and ensure all food content deliverables are optimized for where they’ll live.
• Stay current on food content trends, viral recipe formats, and creator-driven storytelling to keep content feeling fresh and culturally relevant.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of creative producer experience with creative agencies, in-house creative marketing studios, or brand marketing teams
• Experience producing high-touch video, motion design, and motion graphics.
• Experience leading junior team members.
• On-set production experience within an agency landscape.
• Professional experience with industry-standard creative tools (ex. Adobe Creative Cloud).
• Online portfolio of work that shows entertainment campaign experience and high-level branded content.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Deep knowledge of social media best practices and current trends.
• Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Strong initiative and problem-solving abilities.
• Knowledge of project management tools like Asana strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience producing food content—you understand food styling, hero vs. process shots, and what separates thumb-stopping food content from forgettable content.
• Hands-on shooting experience; comfortable capturing content on iPhone or mirrorless cameras when the project calls for it. You don’t need a full crew to create something great.
• A genuine passion for food culture—you follow food creators, you cook, and you know what’s trending before the client asks about it.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary, health insurance, 401k, and great opportunities for growth within the company.
