Production Coordinator, Unscripted

About the role

The Production Coordinator plays a critical role in Early Media's production process, ensuring that every shoot runs smoothly and efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Travel and movement for cast and crew: coordinating flights, hotels, ground transport, per diems, and call sheets
• Sites logistics that keep the shoot day running: managing crew meals, craft services, gear and equipment coordination, location access, and the run of show from call to wrap
• Paperwork that keeps a shoot legitimate and buttoned up: handling permits, releases, vendor invoices, petty cash and expense tracking, and location agreements

Requirements

• Wired for logistics: spotting gaps and closing them quietly, ensuring all loose ends are tied off
• Production coordination experience or a comparable role: managing travel, vendors, budgets, and multiple moving parts
• Grace under fire: rebooking flights, resourcing locations, or fixing catering issues without dropping other responsibilities

Qualifications

• YouTube experience is a major plus, along with experience on unscripted or documentary field productions where schedules shift constantly and success depends on adaptability
• A working vendor, crew, and location Rolodex to activate quickly
• Fluency in the tools of the trade: call sheets, production schedules, budget tracking, and scheduling or project management software
