The Freelance Shoot Producer will play a key role in delivering smooth, efficient and high-quality
production across Popsa’s photo and video shoots.
Working closely with the Creative team, you will be responsible for on-the-ground coordination, crew management and operational delivery. From equipment logistics and crew management to set oversight and location logistics, you will ensure shoots run seamlessly and professionally.
This role is ideal for someone highly organised, calm under pressure and confident managing multiple moving parts. You understand that great creative work depends on excellent production foundations.
But the real story isn’t the numbers and it’s the memories behind them.
We’re living in a time where we capture more photos than ever before. Billions of moments sitting unseen in camera rolls and clouds, mixed with screenshots, receipts, or where we parked the car. We are great at documenting life… but not so great at preserving the meaning in it.
Since launching in 2016, we’ve built an award-winning platform that removes every barrier to transforming your favourite memories into something beautifully tangible. No design skills. No time-sink. Just the joy of holding real stories in your hands. A celebration of the people and moments that make life worth living.

What We Do
Joining Popsa now is pretty exciting. According to Deloitte, we’re the UK’s fastest-growing startup of 2020. We have a fast-growing global customer base to match, and the backing of some of the best investors in the world. Our native iOS and Android apps are available in 12 languages – attracting more than 3 million users to date – and we ship to 50 countries around the world. Phew. So why is Popsa so hot right now? The reality is, people have never taken more photos than we do today. Our phones are literally crammed with memories. But although we’re good at capturing moments – we’re not as good at doing anything with them. They’ll often sit forgotten on our devices or in the cloud. Then Popsa came along. Founded in 2016, we’ve built an award-winning app that’s made printing your memories so easy and accessible, anyone can do it. No more barriers. No more time-wasting. In fact, everything we do as a business is designed with this ethos. We help people turn their best moments into something beautiful and lasting, in no time at all. Today we’re best known for photobooks, but our vision of the future goes far beyond print. We’re building a platform to help people to curate their experiences in lots of exciting ways. We want to become THE place where people come to capture their life stories. To celebrate their most important people and relationships. To create lasting meaning from their experiences.
