Candidates with full-time availability are preferred. The company is also open to experienced producers with part-time availability.
Who we are:
- Storytailors is known for making ambitious international shoots possible, anywhere in the world.
- We helped produce content used by the biggest names in international media — including Netflix, BBC, Discovery, Amazon, ITV, and Al Jazeera.
- Whether it's a documentary in Tokyo, a commercial in Dubai, a news crew in Johannesburg, or a branded shoot in Mexico City, we are a one-stop-shop to get the job done.
- We specialise in international production support: logistics, local access, contributors, scouting, crews, permits, and problem-solving on the ground, mainly for broadcast television and documentaries, branded content, commercials, digital content, and fast-turnaround editorial shoots.
The Producer role:
- You act as the main liaison connecting our clients to the local producers across Asia and making sure productions happen as agreed
- A client comes to us with a specific shoot in a certain country (say Taiwan). You talk to the client, contact our team on the ground, pitch, budget and manage the shoot remotely from inception to final bill.
- You are also required to participate as a producer on the ground on shoots in the territory you are based. In this case, you would be involved on-set in the actual production.
- One day you could be coordinating a shoot in Jakarta, the next you may be discussing a commercial in Thailand
- The jobs can be commercials, documentaries, current affairs pieces (rarely feature films)
- You would sometimes have to be on set and also coordinate local crews remotely
Work duties include:
- Fast-paced production tasks: crewing, locations, budgeting, permitting, pitching etc.
- Taking emails and phone calls from potential clients (foreign production companies and international journalists) and converting them into paid assignments
- This is not cold calling. Clients come to us, the production manager/producer needs to talk to the clients and our local network and make the projects happen
- Liaising with production people around the world to execute the assignments
- Handling budgets, payments and profitability for each project
- Work will be done on set for relevant projects and also remotely depending on territory
Main requirements:
- Proficient in English (both spoken and written) – C2 level is a must
- Minimum 10 years experience in production
- Budgeting knowledge
- International knowledge and experience are a plus
- Availability to work full-time ideally (company also open to part-time)
