Description

The Premium Content Production team within Amazon Brand Innovation Lab is looking for an experienced, passionate Sr. Producer with a track record of delivery, ownership, and support of award-wining, on-time, and on-budget executions of video and experiential projects. The Sr. Producer will be part of the Premium Content Production team and help scope, win and execute unique deliverables for our advertising customers, often leveraging proprietary Amazon IP. The Sr. Producer will lead strategically in scoping video production projects in terms of ballpark, feasibility, logistics, and creative vendor resourcing. An ability to plan ahead and have alternate production solutions is a must. The Sr. Producer will join a supportive team that thrives on true collaboration and encourages/rewards taking initiative creatively and strategically.

Key job responsibilities

• Become the Creative Directors’, Art Directors’, and Copywriter’s closest partner. You are in the loop early within the pitch phase, contributing ideas and shaping the production deliverables based on the CD’s, AD’s, and Writer’s vision, the client brief, and timeline/budget realities. Rather than a one-time check-in point, this partnership starts during pitching and continues through advertiser touch points (presentations) and deliverables execution.
• Plan production logistics and scope production (content) deliverables on complex projects: including production budgets, detailed timelines, and deliverables tech specs.
• Manage the entire production process through final delivery of assets: 3P production vendor bidding, pre-production (casting, location scouting, set designs, etc.), production (live action shoots, animation, CG development, experiential live event), and post-production (offline and online editing, scoring, sound mixing, etc.)
• Take initiative when roles and responsibilities are undefined, providing clarity and direction to ambiguous creative situations.
• Identify, vet, hire, and manage all 3P production vendors for any given production, regardless of scope and complexity.
• Work internally with Legal, Finance, Ad Policy, and Amazon PR teams to create scalable processes and drive best practices for creating, clearing, and publishing custom content.
• Have an understanding of production pricing benchmarks.
• Have an understanding of legally engaging with external talent and social media influencers, as well as licensing music or any other content.
• Drive cohesion and influence cross-team collaboration between various stakeholders, both within Amazon and beyond — to successfully deliver on your productions.
• Have an understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud and, ideally, a passion for film editing, music, and/or any other aspect of filmmaking.
• Anticipate and effectively mitigate problems; and consistently communicate to stakeholders about updates on progress, relevant delays or issues and budget implications.
