Creative Video Producer Richmond, CA

Skycar Creative is seeking an experienced Creative Video Producer for our growing video and design agency in the Bay Area. We need someone who is very comfortable budgeting, scheduling, crewing and managing teams for commercial productions and post-production. This individual must be able to work with creative teams, clients, freelancers, and staff to make the best work possible in the time and budget given. Ideally, they are quick on their feet, good with words, and a level‑headed problem solver on busy sets and in the shop for post‑production. This is a hybrid position based in the Bay Area and we expect the producer to be in our Point Richmond offices at least three days a week.

Please do not apply if you do not have the minimum qualifications below

Please include a cover letter with your application. We value this first communication with us.

What you'll be doing

• Create, negotiate, and manage budgets for several productions at a time
• Manage and deliver multiple live‑action and post‑production projects on (sometimes) aggressive timelines
• Help manage creative artists, both staff and freelancers
• Fully understand the creative process and workflows for video and animation
• Create project documents – one sheets, work‑back schedules, and estimates while setting expectations for the team and keeping all players on track
• Keep everyone informed as production progresses : red flags, hard deadlines, actual costs
• Organize all assets, documentation, and key deliverables for the team
• Review all work prior to shipment to ensure all specs are correct and requirements have been met
• Assess risks and make assumptions about project costs and timelines, and communicate those variables to the team
• Keep leadership informed of day‑to‑day activity, of any conflicts, delays, or any unusual situations
• Consistently work to develop and improve operational efficiencies

Nice to have
