Job Description

Deeplocal is seeking a temporary Producer who is passionate about delivering complex, highly technical interactive and experiential projects for some of the most beloved brands globally. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, possesses a keen eye for detail, and is driven by innovation, brand engagement and storytelling. 

Because the Producer will be a central point of contact for our clients, undertaking both project production and client relationship management, the ideal candidate should possess relevant experience in this dual capacity.

Although the Producer is responsible for the financial health of projects and for effectively managing and communicating with the Deeplocal team and our clients, we are looking for more than just project management skills. The ideal candidate for this position wants to be a critical part of the creative team—by both empowering a multidisciplinary team to do brilliant work, and by personally contributing and driving creative concepts and decisions. They are a leader and smart problem-solver who can break down, simplify, and solve complex problems. They see the hidden risks and account for them early on in a project. They understand marketing and keep client success metrics front and center for the team. We are looking for a problem solver, not a problem identifier.

Deeplocal has an in-house creative, technical, and production team, but we draw on external specialists when necessary. Producers are responsible for sourcing and contracting outstanding partners quickly. The ideal applicants will come into the position having cultivated their own network of trusted freelancers and vendors.

Key Responsibilities

• Creative Delivery - Participate in creative development for client deliverables; manage the creative process through execution.
• Production Planning - Write and present budget estimates, incremental project proposals, scopes of work, timelines, and staffing plans for client projects  
• Client Communication - Clearly communicate budget estimates, scopes of work, timelines, roles and responsibilities, and project status to clients; ensure that all requests are addressed quickly and responsibly.
• Team Management - Meet all project deadlines through efficient team meetings and communication.
• Project Resourcing - Thoroughly understand creative concepts and executional strategies to create smart resourcing plans that lead to creative excellence and fiscal project health, with oversight from an Executive Producer.
• Contractor Sourcing & Management - Identify and vet outstanding freelancers and vendors on a per-project and on-going basis; negotiate with and contract external resources.
• Budget Management - create and manage project budgets and timelines with oversight from an Executive Producer; manage external costs; reconcile project costs against budgets and work with Deeplocal’s finance team to appropriately recognize revenue.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a history (at least 3-8 years) of delivering technical, interactive projects for national and/or global brands clients

Demonstrated experience managing timelines, logistics, resources, and budgets efficiently to ensure project delivery within scope and schedule.

Exceptional communication skills are crucial for conveying project requirements, progress updates, and addressing client needs.

Strong leadership qualities to effectively guide and motivate teams towards achieving project goals. This includes the ability to inspire, delegate tasks, and resolve conflicts.

Location

The ideal candidate will work in our Pittsburgh, PA studio. As a result, strong preference will be given to Pittsburgh based candidates, or those willing to relocate. The flexibility to travel and occasionally work unconventional hours will be required.

This is a temporary position with potential for conversion to permanent employment in the future.
