Digital Media Producer

Aquent Studios seeks an experienced, high-caliber Digital Media Producer (DMP) to direct and produce the creation of media content and also provide hands-on video and media editing support on a variety of projects. These include video (our top priority), audio, web, rich media, web casts, and more. Often the DMP will work on several projects at once, each in a different phase of production; poise under pressure, and the ability to multi-task while meeting often tight and competing deadlines, are both critical to the success of the DMP.

We are looking for a skilled communicator with client-facing experience or ability, who can inspire creativity into a team and collaborate closely with team members and partners (including designers, copywriters, photographers, production artists, and illustrators) to produce work that is up to date with current trends in corporate media and video. Switching between different styles will be necessary, and there will be opportunities to produce edgy work that pushes boundaries in terms of what’s generally produced for corporate media and video. An amazing, modern reel is what’s really going to get our attention, so please send us your best work to review!

• Utilize appropriate resources (i.e. Technology and training) to ensure quality in delivery workflow processes
• Pursue and share best practices within the department and among creative staff via 1:1 conversations with other team members and participation in weekly team meetings
• Understand all project elements and components

• Expertise across various types of media production and editing, as evidenced by resume and a strong portfolio of work samples
