The job in one paragraph

You're the producer's right hand. Internally we call this seat Associate Producer. The producer owns the client relationship and the creative. You own the machine that gets the work done on time: boards, folders, schedules, call sheets, crew and partner coordination, asset chasing, close-out data. You'll have a dozen projects moving at once and you'll know where every one of them stands.

This is not a creative role. If you want to direct, shoot, or edit, this isn't the seat. If you like building systems that hold under volume, being the person who catches what everyone else missed, and watching a project board go green, keep reading.

Client contact

Yes, directly. You'll be on kickoffs, send call sheets and schedules, and chase assets and approvals. Clients will know your name. Creative calls, scope changes, and budget conversations go to the producer - one voice on decisions, always.

What you'll own

Setup

• Build and maintain project boards in Monday.com; keep capacity estimates current
• Create project folders in Google Drive, Suite, and Frame.io; manage partner access
• Turn handoff forms into working docs for producers
• Stand up Slack channels to our project standard

Pre-production

• Attend kickoffs, take notes, understand what the project actually needs
• Build shot lists, call sheets, and schedules with the producer
• Post casting calls and run first-pass talent selection
• Source locations
• Contribute interview questions

Partner network

• Run partner search and outreach: follow-ups, interview scheduling, full onboarding

Close-out

• Collect every asset, capture every data point the KPI report needs
• Run client NPS collection and track collection rate on every project

The rules you'll work by

• Every task has an owner and a due date. Boards updated daily. No stale fields.
• Every client message gets a response within 1 business day.
• Scope changes get flagged to the producer within 24 hours. Nothing gets absorbed silently.
• No milestone slips without a heads-up to the producer before the deadline.
• No editor or crew handoff without a complete brief, specs, and timeline.
• Escalation runs AP > Producer > Director of Ops. No skipping.
• AI tools are expected for recaps, briefs, and status drafts. You review and own every output before it goes anywhere.

How you're measured

• Milestone hit rate ≥90% - your pieces land on schedule (primary)
• Hours-to-scope ≤100% - actual vs. scoped hours on your tasks
• Data hygiene ≥95% - boards and trackers complete, accurate, current

Numbers are visible to the whole team. If that reads as clarity, you'll fit. If it reads as pressure, you won't.

Requirements

• 3+ years in video production coordination or production project management
• Have personally coordinated 5+ video projects at the same time
• Have built call sheets, shot lists, or production schedules for real shoots
• Daily use of Monday.com, Asana, or ClickUp as a system of record for 12+ months
• Fluent professional English, written and spoken. Every interview is in English.
• Based in Mexico with full overlap of US Pacific business hours (9-5 PT)
• Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in your current workflow, not just occasionally
• Work independently and remotely without anyone checking on you

Who does well here

Organized to the point that disorder bothers you. Brings solutions, not just flags. Easy to work with. Honest about your own numbers and timelines, especially when they're bad.

Where this goes

Associate Producer → Producer → Senior Producer. Our strongest APs take on their own smaller projects and grow into producer seats. We promote before we hire.
