Markforged is seeking a talented in-house producer to join our studio team in Watertown, MA. We are revamping our content studio to create premium, influential programming and are assembling a team of the best creative talent in Boston. Projects will range from short-form studio shows geared towards Youtube and social channels, product promos and launches, as well as bespoke mini-docs that shape culture. Looking for an organized, motivated, story-oriented producer to support our Creative Director in overseeing, hiring and managing staff and day-to-day production calendar.
The ideal candidate will be both a leader and a team-player. Our producer must be both right and left brained - organization, managing deadlines and workload, ability to hire, skilled at recruiting and budgeting are a must. But we’re also looking for someone with excellent taste -- including strong storytelling chops, development ability, creative-thinking and a self-starter who can identify talent and content opportunities. Experience operating a camera and interviewing on-camera subjects is important but not the primary focus. Bonus qualities include a love for science and engineering, empathy, and excellent knowledge of the media landscape. They will have a deep understanding of both conventional & digital-first storytelling techniques.
Our producer must work at our office in Watertown and be willing to travel for on-set projects. Our studio is set to grow in the next year, and a candidate with experience in creating sustainable, scalable systems and processes for evolving teams is critical. Enthusiasm, team-mentality, an ability to juggle multiple projects and kick-start production in a busy work environment are all huge musts. We’re looking for someone who is and desires to be a producer first and foremost. Eventual potential career-trajectories for this role include lead producer, executive producer, Head of Production and beyond.
This is more than a job; this is an opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding company and tell stories of some of the most relevant, groundbreaking and innovative aspects of culture -- from aerospace, automotive, biomedical, manufacturing and more.
