About The Role

Liquid Death is looking for a Senior Video Producer to manage all aspects of production—budgeting, accounting, administration, crew management, scheduling, and logistics. You’ll join a small but mighty video production team, bringing the craziest marketing ideas to life. With limited budgets and lean teams, you’ll find creative ways to make the seemingly impossible possible. Expect a dynamic, hands-on role where you’ll juggle multiple projects, collaborate closely with internal creative and external crews, and occasionally get hands-on with props, products, or special effects. Shoots happen at least once a month, so quick turnarounds and adaptability are key. This contract position reports directly to the Executive Producer and VP of Creative.
