Midweight/Senior Producer in Birmingham

Overview

MTRX produces over 500 ads monthly for 7-8 figure e-commerce brands across the UK and US. We are on track to be the #1 creative performance agency in the UK. The problem? Production is the bottleneck, and we need to scale up the team. (We currently have one producer.)

We’re looking for a vertical video virtuoso who enjoys having a hand in multiple facets of the commercial production process - from casting to call sheets, budgets to best practices, and shot lists to set design. A marketing magician who relishes bringing each script to life with collaborative creativity and sharp efficiency, aligning with brand guidelines and proven social media strategy, while keeping productions in scope and on schedule.

The Role

What You’re Walking Into

You’ll own production end-to-end for 10-12 shoots/month. Not coordinating. Not assisting. Owning. You’ll be the second producer on the team, working independently but coordinating across brands and projects to ensure consistency and communication.

The Role:

• Pre-Production (2-10 Business Days Out)

• Maintain rolling production by project/brand, synced to creative strategy monthly timelines
• Convert approved script concepts into shootable plans (shot lists, shooting schedules, production design, location sourcing, talent wrangling, prop lists)
• Capacity plan to up to 5 shoots/week without team burnout
• Join creative brainstorms and translate big ideas into executable production plans

• Casting & Talent

• Read every script in detail — understand tone, avatar, demographic, create casting calls, and match talent to character briefs
• Run casting calls 7+ days before shoots; review audition tapes and manage all talent communications
• Issue actor packs: including script(s), wardrobe/hmu notes, call times, contracts, payment terms, and other key shoot info
• Build and curate an agency Actor/Creator Database

• Logistics

• Confirm crew and equipment lists
• Book studio/location and manage all venue communications
• Own props/product procurement
• Produce call sheets + shoot schedules
• Lead T-7 pre-production call (Creative Strategy, Post, Crew)
• Lead T-1 final check: confirmations, weather, parking, access, and all on-set elements

• Production (Shoot Day)

• You run the day. No chaos. No improvisation.
• Lead from setup to wrap, keeping everything on schedule and in budget
• Crew oversight and collaboration
• Partner with the Director to ensure every script is captured fully and correctly
• Guide production design elements, including set dressing, props, wardrobe, and partner with crew on aspects such as framing and lighting
• Talent wrangling, help keep actors organised and on-schedule
• Solve issues in real-time before they become problems; proactive and creative approach to issues as they may arise

• Creative Quality Control

• Your mission isn't just "get the shoot done." It’s to make really good ads.
• Collaboration - Partnering closely with writers and editors to ensure end-to-end quality production of every asset
• Casting - Selecting the best talent for the role; making sure actors know their lines and fit the brand, and providing talent direction when appropriate
• Communication - Make sure the whole crew knows what needs to be done
• Set Design — Oversee layout, prop and wardrobe elements, product styling, and other elements to align with brand guidelines and high-quality aesthetic standards. No flat or improvised sets.
• Reference-driven Execution — Study top competitor videos (provided by Creative Strategy), then execute at that level

• Post-Production Loop

• Deliver assets cleanly to editors with clear notes
• Hold a zero-reshoot standard

Standards & What Success Looks Like

The Standards

You’re not joining a team that tolerates average. Here’s what "A-player" means at MTRX:

• Think 5 steps ahead — Plan for the week and month, not just the day — pro-active
• Reactive — Update before being asked. Solve before being told.
• Founder mindset — You own outcomes, not just tasks. This is your department.
• Elite communication — Visible on Slack. Reply within 1-2 hours during work hours. Never leave anyone chasing.
• Ask early, not late — Night-before problems are a sign of leadership failure. Escalate as soon as you see risk.
• Systematise everything — Use checklists, SOPs, task boards. If it’s repeatable, it’s documented.
• Raise the standard — Average actor quality and missed scripts are the weak points you’re here to fix.

What Success Looks Like (KPIs)

• Hard metrics:

• 10-12 shoots/month delivered on time, zero reshoots
• 100% scripts cast, filmed, and uploaded to post-production
• 10+ new talent added to the database each month
• Creative quality increases (measured by winning ad %)

Who You Are

Must-haves:

• 2+ years producing video content at scale (agency, brand, or creator economy)
• You’ve managed both pre-production and on set for 8+ shoots/month independently and kept quality high
• You understand casting — you can read a script and visualise the exact person who should deliver it
• You thrive in organised chaos and think systematically under pressure
• You’ve built production workflows from scratch (Gantt charts, call sheets, talent databases, shot lists, cost sheets, etc.)
• You have an eye for creative quality — you know what great lighting, framing, and actor delivery look like
• Experience with high-performance ad creative (especially DTC/e-commerce)
• You’ve worked in fast-scaling agencies where "good enough" wasn’t acceptable
• You’ve hired, vetted, or managed talent pools before
• You geek out on production efficiency and have strong opinions on how shoots should run

The growth:

• Location: London-based (shoots happen in-person)
• Reports to: Hamza (Founder)

Final Word

This isn’t a "coordinate and hope it works out" role. This is for someone who wants to own the production end-to-end, set elite standards, and prove that world-class creative doesn’t require chaos.
