Role Overview:This is a hands-on-keys craft role at the heart of Indie's content studio. The Senior Creative Producer & Editor operates at two altitudes: setting the creative vision for a campaign and crafting the assets themselves. Reporting to the Creative Studio Director - who owns studio-wide timelines, resourcing, and trafficking - this person's sole focus is making the work exceptional and making it fast, across concept, shoot production, and edit of social-first content.
Key Responsibilities: - Translate big ideas and creative concepts grounded in social behavior into high-quality assets for our clients
- Produce a meaningful share of studio output personally: short-form video edits, motion graphics, and static visuals
- Art direct and produce shoots (studio and lo-fi/UGC-style) with the Indie creative team - clear references, clear feedback, clear standards - and capture lo-fi content (b-roll, BTS, UGC-style footage) alongside directing
- Lead shoot-week logistics: own the shoot day/week schedule and partner with Production Assistants on pre-production so all props, materials, and resources are secured ahead of shoot week
- Edit raw footage into best-in-class social video content, driving sound - trending audio, music selection, and sound design - that makes edits perform
- Own the post-production pipeline: footage organization, versioning, review rounds, and final delivery specs per platform
- Turn reactive and trend-driven content quickly - concept to published in 24-48 hours when the moment calls for it
- Brief and manage UGC creators to develop best-in-class branded creative
- Maintain brand voice and visual consistency across every asset the studio ships, applying platform-native craft across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and Pinterest
- Partner with the Creative Studio Director on creative feasibility, scoping, and freelance quality control, and collaborate with strategy and social & influencer teams to translate performance insights into craft optimizations
Requirements
Mandatory:- 5-8 years of experience in creative production, art direction, or content creation, with a portfolio/reel heavy on social-first work for consumer brands

- 3+ years of hands-on shoot production experience: pre-production planning, on-set direction, and shoot-day logistics
- Working knowledge of post-production fundamentals: sound design and mixing, color correction, and export specs across platforms
- Daily fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma; comfort in CapCut for platform-native edits
- Demonstrated conceptual range: able to develop campaign ideas AND execute them hands-on
- Experience directing both polished and lo-fi/UGC-style content, and judgment for when each is right - including comfort capturing content yourself
- Experience directing freelancers and contractors on set and in post
- Strong feedback culture: gives and takes creative direction without ego
