YouTube Producer

The Role

As a YouTube Producer at Dragonfruit, your strength is operational excellence. You will own the integrity of our production operating system. That includes maintaining task hygiene in throughout our Production System, enforcing documentation standards, auditing workflows for breakdowns, and continuously improving throughput, clarity, and predictability. This is a systems-first production role. While you will collaborate with Creative Directors, your primary responsibility is designing, maintaining, and optimizing production workflows across multiple accounts. This role is 10–20% creative alignment and 80–90% operational execution, systems thinking, and technical project management.

Day-to-day, you’ll own the production process across 3-5 client accounts and manage 400+ videos in active production at once. That means allocating editors, anticipating bottlenecks and acting as a trusted partner to clients—guiding timelines, deliverables, and approvals while communicating with empathy, clarity, and authority. This role is about powering the heartbeat of the most influential YouTube channels in the world. Our clients reach tens of millions of viewers every month, shaping conversations in business, personal & professional development, health & wellness, and beyond. As a Producer, you’re not just managing deadlines—you’re ensuring the ideas that matter most get delivered to the world at scale.

Skills and Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience as a Producer, Production Manager, or Project Manager in a creative, media, or agency setting.
• Proven ability to manage complex, high-volume production pipelines across multiple client accounts simultaneously without compromising on quality or deadlines.
• Exceptional operator mindset – you’re detail-oriented, highly organized, and proactive in spotting and solving problems before they escalate.
• Resource allocation and capacity planning expertise – you know how to assign editors effectively based on strengths, bandwidth, and deadlines.
• Cheap communicator with clients – You can empathetically set boundaries, communicate trade-offs, and frame delays in a way that maintains trust.
• Systems & Technical Competency (required) Advanced fluency in project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, Monday, etc.) — including automations, dashboards, dependencies, and workflow design.
• Ability to design and improve repeatable workflows — you think in systems, not tasks.
• Experience managing 100+ concurrent deliverables at once without losing visibility.
• Comfortable analyzing data to inform decisions (capacity planning, editor allocation, delivery timelines).
• Clear documentation habits — you leave processes better documented than you found them.

What you can expect

• An exciting startup culture – work cross-functionally, wear several hats, and occasionally work long hours, during evenings, and/or weekends.
• Personal growth – use Dragonfruit’s culture of excellence as an incubator to improve your professional skills, learn new mental models, sharpen your critical thinking, and increase productivity.
• Be a key player in a fast-growing company – help to identify blind spots in our service offering and work collaboratively with the team to improve systems/processes.
• Earn more – take advantage of regular performance-based raises, generous referral and sales commissions, & more.
• Time zone overlap – while we're fully remote and flexible on where your hours fall, this is a client-facing role, so you'll need consistent daily overlap with U.S. business hours to stay responsive to clients.
