Senior Editor Jobs in Bellingham, WA (NOW HIRING)

The Senior Media Producer is the delivery leader of the WholeHome™ Media team and owns how our client work gets made: what it costs, when it ships, who is on it, and whether it meets the standard. This is a senior seat for a producer who pairs line-producer discipline (budgets, schedules, capacity) with real creative judgment: someone who can develop a concept, direct a shoot, and give an editor useful notes, while running a portfolio of concurrent client engagements rather than one production at a time.
This is a hands-on role. The Senior Media Producer is field-capable and expected to be on set, directing case studies, brand films, and executive interviews for real clients in the trades and home services. Off set, they own the production calendar, project budgets, post-production standards, and the client approval process, and they manage and mentor a growing production team: a Media Producer, a Junior Media Producer, and a network of trusted contractors. This role owns project delivery; client relationships and commercial terms are owned by our account lead, so this seat can stay focused on making great work, on time and on budget.
This position requires significant travel and time away from the office. We think that's one of the best parts of the job: you'll see every corner of the US and work side by side with tradespeople, the backbone of our economy, telling the stories of the people who keep America's homes running.
