About the Role
Liquid Death is looking for a Senior Video Producer who is ready to dive into a fast paced world and manage all things production - budgeting, accounting, administrative, crew management, scheduling, logistics.
You will be joining a small but mighty video production team and will spend your days bringing to life the craziest of crazy ideas as part of the Liquid Death marketing team. We don’t have big budgets, we don’t have big teams, but we sure do have a great time finding ways to make the seemingly impossible possible. Expect a dynamic job where you’ll be managing multiple video projects at a time and non-stop collaboration with our internal creative marketing team and external crew to find creative solutions to anything that comes up. Expect to be hands-on, from helping us manage hero cans and products, building props or setting off a squib and getting covered in fake blood.
