A Contract Producer is a professional responsible for managing and overseeing specific projects or productions on a contractual basis, rather than as a permanent employee. They are often hired for a defined period or for particular assignments, such as producing an event, commercial, film, or digital content. Contract Producers coordinate all aspects of production, including budgeting, scheduling, hiring crew, and ensuring the project meets client expectations. Their role is crucial in delivering high-quality results efficiently, while also managing resources and timelines. This position is common in industries like media, advertising, film, and events.

They facilitate communication by organizing meetings, providing regular status updates, and translating client feedback into actionable tasks for the creative team. This role often involves problem-solving and negotiating solutions to keep the project on track. Successful Contract Producers build strong relationships with both internal teams and clients, which helps streamline processes and ensures project deliverables meet expectations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract producer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Contract Producer, you need strong project management skills, a solid understanding of production processes, and relevant experience or a degree in media, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard software like Microsoft Project, budgeting tools, and content management systems is typically required. Exceptional organizational skills, negotiation abilities, and clear communication set top performers apart in this role. These competencies are crucial for delivering projects on time and within budget while effectively coordinating diverse teams and managing client expectations.

You'll collaborate from concept to delivery with social strategists, creatives and your core content creation team - content creator and camera op / editor.

You'll be responsible for handling all aspects of social first pre-production and production phases for both internal content creation and third-party partners.

  • Work closely with business affairs to ensure FTC compliance and general guidelines
  • Support pre-production (e.g., location, props, equipment, production insurance, releases, etc.),
  • On-site filming including being on camera, if needed
  • Support post production - if you can edit that's a plus!
  • Manage and organize digital assets to ensure efficient workflow and accessibility.
  • Work with Art Buying to license stock
  • Asset tracking and rights management documentation
Qualifications
  • 7-9 years of experience in video content creation for social media at a consumer-facing brand or agency or similar experience
  • Fashion and beauty knowledge
  • Collaborative work ethic
  • Awesome client facing and relationship management skills
  • Strong problem-solving, time and budget management, leadership, decision making, project management and organizational skills
  • Ability to work and lead multiple projects in a fast-paced environment under tight deadlines
  • Excellent written / verbal communication and presentation skills
  • Strong understanding of opportunities and limitations of all popular social platforms.
  • A passion for staying updated on emerging trends in social media and digital content creation
  • Keen eye for design/art direction/leveraging props and styling
  • Comfortable filming on a mobile device
  • Nice to have: Adobe Creative Suite, Premiere
  • Portfolio required
