The Role

We’re looking for a Manager of Production to lead day-to-day execution across a high-volume pipeline of video projects.

This role is responsible for driving performance through a team of Producers—ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and at a consistently high standard. You’ll act as the operational backbone of production, bringing structure, accountability, and momentum to every project in flight.

You believe in the modern workflow and believe AI as a tool is the future of human-led video production. 

If you thrive in fast-paced environments and know how to turn processes into performance, this role is for you.

  • Set clear expectations around timelines, quality, and output
  • Coach for consistency, urgency, and operational discipline
  • Address performance gaps quickly and effectively

Manage Throughput & Capacity

  • Balance workloads across the team to maintain consistent output
  • Ensure projects are progressing in line with internal timelines and SLAs
  • Remove bottlenecks and improve overall production velocity

Enforce Process & Standards

  • Maintain high standards for project planning, documentation, and execution
  • Ensure workflows are followed consistently across all projects
  • Create visibility into project status and team performance

Collaborate Cross-Functionally

  • Partner with Creative, Customer Success, and Post-Production teams
  • Align execution with creative vision and customer expectations
  • Ensure smooth handoffs across all stages of production

What You Bring

  • 8+ years of experience in video production, project management, or operations
  • 3+ years managing high-performing teams
  • Understanding of production workflows (pre-production through post)
  • Exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills
  • Clear, direct communicator who can drive accountability
  • Experience in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments

What Success Looks Like

  • Projects are delivered on time and within scope
  • Teams operate with consistency, urgency, and accountability
  • Production runs efficiently at scale with minimal escalations
  • Work is predictable, high-quality, and aligned across teams

Why Lemonlight

  • Work with a high-output, fast-growing production team
  • Help shape and scale how modern video production operates
  • Collaborate with creative and operational leaders across the business
  • Opportunity to make a direct impact on quality, speed, and efficiency

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary: $125,000 - $150,000
