Job Description

Producer (End-to-End Production Lead)MTRX Media | London | Full-Time

The Situation

MTRX is producing 500+ ads monthly for 7-8 figure e-commerce brands across the UK and US. We're on track to be the #1 creative performance agency in the UK.

The problem?

Production is the bottleneck, and we need to scale the team up. (We have 1 producer atm)

Scripts land 48 hours before shoots. Wrong actors get cast. Shoots run late. Reshoots drain profit.

What You're Walking Into

You'll own production end-to-end for

Pods 3 & 4

(10-12 shoots/month). Not coordinating. Not assisting.

Owning.

This means:

Scripts locked 7-10 days pre-shoot Actors cast with avatar precision (age, accent, tone, energy) Shoot sheets, call sheets, and logistics airtight before shoot day Zero chaos on set Assets delivered clean to editors same-day Reshoots become a rarity, not a pattern
You'll be the

second producer on the team

-- joining someone who already owns Pods 1 & 2. This isn't about reinventing the wheel. It's about taking proven systems, owning your pods, and raising the bar alongside someone who already gets it.

The Role Pre-Production (7-10 Days Out)

Pipeline Control

Maintain rolling production Gantt by pod/brand, synced to creative strategy timelines Convert approved concepts into shootable plans (scenes, timings, dependencies, prop lists) Capacity plan to max 5 shoots/week without team burnout Join creative brainstorms and translate big ideas into executable production plans

Casting & Talent

Run casting calls 7+ days before shoots Read every script in detail -- understand tone, avatar, demographic Match actors to scripts with zero tolerance for miscasts Issue actor packs: script, wardrobe/hair notes, call times, NDAs, payment terms Guarantee actors receive scripts 4-5 days in advance (not 48 hours) Build and tag an Actor/Creator Database: age, accent, vibe, brand fit, rate, reliability, last used

Logistics

Confirm crew (camera, gaffer, audio, runner, BTS) and equipment lists Book studio/location with setup buffer Own props/product procurement 7+ days prior Produce call sheets + shoot sheets (scene order, timings, talent, wardrobe, props, contingencies) Lead T-7 pre-production call (Creative Strategy, Post, Crew) Lead T-1 final check: confirmations, weather, parking, access, backups

Production (Shoot Day)

You run the day. No chaos. No improvisation.

Lead from setup to wrap, keeping everything on schedule Ensure every script line, beat, claim, and legal disclaimer is captured Handle podcast/debate/buzzer-style formats with host cues and B-roll notes Guarantee actors arrive on time and fully briefed Solve issues in real-time before they become problems Oversee file organisation and uploads immediately post-shoot

Creative Quality Control

Your mission isn't just "get the shoot done." It's to make excellent ads.

This includes

Making sure A1 actors are set Making sure actors know their lines and fit the brand Make sure the whole crew knows what needs to be done Set design -- Oversee layout, props, depth. No flat or improvised sets. Framing & headroom -- Proper camera framing every time. Zero editor complaints. Actor direction -- Coach tone, pronunciation, pacing, energy, body movement, gestures 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

-- reshoots cost money, time, and credibility

Actor Database Rebuild

The current talent pool is limiting creative output. You'll rebuild it from the ground up:

Audit all existing actors: performance reliability, script delivery, avatar match, brand fit Build new database by archetype ("masculine 30-40," "debate host," "friendly explainer") Include reels, photos, notes, rating scores Source fresh talent monthly across platforms, agencies, and inbound creator funnels Rotate out under-performers, maintain a "hot list" of top performers Pre-brief all actors with wardrobe, tone, persona, and reference videos before shoot day

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

Proactive > 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. Never leave anyone chasing.

Ask early, not late

-- Night-before problems are leadership failures. 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% of scripts locked 7-10 days pre-shoot 100% of actors cast 7+ days out 100% of actors receive scripts 4-5 days in advance Zero same-day logistics issues Editor satisfaction score: 9/10+ on asset quality

Behavioural metrics:

Proactive updates without being chased Issues flagged and solved 48+ hours before shoots Creative quality increases (measured by winning ad %) Database growth: 10+ new vetted actors/month

Who You Are

Must-haves:

2+ years producing video content at scale (agency, brand, or creator economy) You've managed 8+ shoots/month independently and kept quality high You understand casting -- you can read a script and visualize the exact person who should deliver it You thrive in organized chaos and think systematically under pressure You've built production workflows from scratch (Gantt charts, call sheets, talent databases aren't foreign concepts) You have an eye for creative quality -- you know what great lighting, framing, and actor delivery look like

Bonus points:

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

Red flags (don't apply if this is you):

You need hand-holding or constant direction You wait to be told what to do instead of figuring it out You think "good enough" is fine when time is tight You're uncomfortable giving direct feedback to actors or crew You've never owned end-to-end production -- just coordinated pieces

Why MTRX?

The opportunity:

Join a 6-figure/month agency on track to dominate the UK market Own an entire department and build it your way Work with 7-8 figure brands doing serious volume Be the person who fixes production once and for all

The team:

20+ people who are trying to build an empire High standards, low tolerance for mediocrity You'll work directly with another producer (Pods 1 & 2) to share best practices and maintain consistency Collaborate with creative strategists, editors, project managers who actually care about craft

The growth:

This role has a ceiling as high as you want to take it Future leadership opportunities as we scale to 1,000+ ads/month

Compensation & Logistics

Salary:

35,000 - 45,000 base (depending on experience)

Performance bonuses:

TBD based on KPIs (winning ad %, zero-reshoot rate, on-time delivery)

Location:

London-based (shoots happen in-person)

Reports to:

Aaron (Founder)

Start date:

ASAP

Include:

Your CV/portfolio

-- Show us shoots you've produced, especially at scale

A 90-second Loom video

answering: Walk us through the most chaotic shoot you've ever managed and how you solved it What's the biggest production mistake you see agencies making? Why do you want this role specifically?

A sample call sheet or shoot plan

you've created (redact client names if needed)

If you send just a CV, you won't hear back.

We want to see how you think, not just what you've done.

Final Word

This isn't a "coordinate and hope it works out" role.

This is for someone who wants to

own production end-to-end

, set elite standards, and prove that world-class creative doesn't require chaos.

If that's you, apply.

If it's not, save us both the time.
