On-siteAustin, Texas, United States
Job Summary
Own individual series from kickoff through delivery, managing timelines, budgets, crew, and day-to-day logistics with minimal oversight. Lead pre-production by handling breakdowns, scheduling, budgeting, location scouting, and coordinating crew and vendors. Bridge the relationship between your creative team and Production leadership while building department infrastructure, including workflows, templates, and scalable systems. Cultivate long-term connections with writers, directors, and crew members, maintaining a creative perspective on all projects.
