Senior Producer

A fundamental part of Casual Films’ production teams, the Senior Producer position sits between our Executive Producers and Producers. It straddles both account management and day to day production.

It’s a role that exists to drive projects forward - filling in the blanks between clients wanting a film and them getting a film. They are problem solvers; on hand to find solutions for creative, production and resourcing challenges as they appear.

The Senior Producer takes briefs alongside their Executive Producer and becomes the client point of contact. They oversee the creative development to ensure a successful project sign off. From there, their involvement stretches through both production and post production as they anticipate, interpret and remedy client feedback.

They are tasked with delivering exceptional client experiences, while producing quality content against a backdrop of financial targets, metrics and KPIs.

They collaborate with other team members which include Creatives, Producers, Production Assistants, Editors, Animators and freelance crew. They are responsible for finding the right resource, workflows and expertise to match the brief.

It’s an opportunity to take your production career to the next level through additional strategic responsibility beyond the scope of individual projects. We’re looking for driven people that want to grow with the company – ultimately resulting in promotion to Executive Producer level.
