Producer (Video)

Role Overview

UATX is seeking a Producer to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of video and multimedia projects across the institution. This role blends production management with hands-on technical work. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable coordinating contractors and crews as they are behind a camera or in an editing timeline.

You will own productions from concept through delivery, ensuring projects are executed on time, on budget, and to a high standard of quality that is on brand with the institution.
