  • Owns project plans, timelines, and budgets across video, social, audio, and digital formats.
  • Leads client communication, feedback, and approvals from kickoff to final delivery.
  • Coordinates cross-functional inputs to ensure feasibility, compliance, and brand-safety.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Translate client objectives and KQED audience insights into platform-appropriate concepts, treatments, scripts, scopes of work, deliverables, timelines, and production budgets across video, social, audio, digital, and experiential formats.
  • Turn around initial creative concepts within 48 hours of receiving an RFP, using a standard template that the Sponsorship team can present to prospective clients.
  • Participate in pre-sale conversations as needed to present creative concepts, explain production approaches, and answer client questions.
  • Assess the creative, operational, and financial feasibility of opportunities before they are sold, identifying assumptions, constraints, rights requirements, production capacity, and costs to reflect in the client agreement.
  • Serve as the primary production contact for clients after a project is sold, leading kickoffs, setting expectations, presenting creative work, managing feedback and approvals, and addressing changes in scope, schedule, or budget.
  • Own multiple projects simultaneously from kickoff through closeout, balancing client commitments, editorial standards, production capacity, budgets, and delivery deadlines.
  • Maintain a clear view of active and prospective projects, schedules, budgets, deliverables, dependencies, and resource needs, and communicate risks to leadership and Sponsorship partners.
  • Coordinate with Sponsorship, Legal, Business Affairs, Editorial, Marketing, Audience Development, Finance, Production Operations, and other internal stakeholders to secure required input and approvals.
  • Develop and manage pre-production plans, schedules, scopes of work, production budgets, staffing plans, and client expectations for sold projects.
  • Hire and manage freelance crews, production companies, talent, and other vendors based on the creative and operational needs of each project.

Requirements

  • 5+ years producing branded, sponsored, or commercial content for digital platforms, ideally within a media company, branded content studio, or production company
  • Demonstrated ability to develop concepts quickly and communicate them clearly in decks and client conversations
  • Full-lifecycle production experience: budgeting, scheduling, crewing, on-set leadership, and post supervision
  • Experience managing client relationships during production, including setting expectations and navigating feedback
  • Working knowledge of post workflows and media management best practices
  • An existing network of freelancers and production vendors, or the ability to build one quickly
  • Experience creating scopes of work, production estimates, and change orders, with a demonstrated ability to manage scope, budget, and client expectations
  • Strong project-management skills and experience managing multiple productions with overlapping deadlines
  • Strong editorial judgment and the ability to recognize and escalate brand-safety, disclosure, rights, or sponsor-influence concerns
  • Experience working with legal agreements, talent and location releases, licensing, insurance requirements, and production rights clearances

Preferred

  • Experience at a public media organization or mission-driven brand
  • Familiarity with FTC disclosure standards for sponsored and branded content
  • Short-form social video production experience (Reels, TikTok, YouTube)
  • Experience working alongside unionized production environments
