Channel Manager/Line Producer

About the role

This role is the operational backbone of one of our lifestyle and unscripted channels. The Channel Manager / Line Producer is responsible for planning, budgeting, and executing every shoot, ensuring smooth production and efficient use of resources.

Responsibilities

• Own all production planning - scheduling, budgeting, location, crew, logistics, and vendor coordination for every shoot.
• Build and manage the channel production budget in partnership with the GM; track spend in real time and flag overruns early.
• Produce every shoot on set - running the day, holding the schedule, and ensuring the Creative Producer has what they need to deliver.
• Source, vet, and manage production contractors for each shoot; brief them clearly and hold them to standard.
• Liaise with the GM on financial performance, operational reporting, and production capacity planning.
• Anticipate production bottlenecks two shoots ahead and solve problems before they become emergencies.
• Build and document production systems that allow the channel to scale without losing quality or speed.
• Protect the creative team from operational friction so they can focus on the work.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years in production management, line producing, or channel operations for YouTube or digital video.
• Proven ability to manage production budgets and schedules from pre-production through delivery.
• Experience producing on-location shoots with lean crews in fast-moving environments.
• Exceptional organizational precision - nothing falls through the cracks.
• Calm and decisive under pressure - shoot day problems get solved, not escalated.
• Clear and proactive communication - no surprises for the GM or Creative Producer.
• Familiarity with YouTube channel operations beyond physical production - asset management, upload pipelines, delivery (preferred).
• Experience building production infrastructure from scratch at a new or early-stage channel (preferred).
• Existing relationships with production crew or vendors in the Southeast US (preferred).
• Background in lifestyle, culinary, or unscripted production (preferred).
• Ability to work onsite in Greenville, NC (relo support provided).
