Overview
Creative Producer Jobs in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at Punchy Studio
Punchy Studio is Australia’s leading visual communications agency for organisations with a public obligation, specialising in campaigns that drive behavioural change and empower communities.
We're on a mission to become the first choice for serious visual communications across APAC, and we're also a certified Great Place to Work!
Position Overview
We're on the hunt for an experienced and hands-on Producer to join our Production team and lead the delivery of projects across live-action, animation, and design.
You'll own projects end-to-end – from concept, scripting, and creative treatments through pre-production, production, and final delivery – while keeping clients across the country feeling informed, supported, and genuinely excited about the work.
You will join our existing production team, report to the Head of Production, and work alongside an amazing team of internal staff and freelancers.
You'll be producing animation, live-action video, and design work for our government, NGO, and enterprise clients – and working on creative treatments that help win it in the first place.
If you're equally comfortable directing a shoot day, briefing an animator, and writing a pitch deck that lands with a client, this could be the role for you.
There's also a growth angle to the role – spotting upsell and cross-sell opportunities during production and flagging them to Sales, to help retain and grow long-term client relationships.
