Overview
MTRX is producing 500+ ads monthly for 7‑8 figure e‑commerce brands across the UK and US. We’re on track to be the #1 creative performance agency in the UK.
Production is the bottleneck and we need to scale the team up. Scripts land 48 hours before shoots, wrong actors are cast, shoots run late and reshoots drain profit.
We’re looking for a second producer to own production end‑to‑end for Pods 3 & 4 (10‑12 shoots/month). You will take proven systems, own your pods, and raise the bar alongside the existing producer handling Pods 1 & 2.
The Role
Pre‑Production (7‑10 days out)
Pipeline Control
* Maintain rolling production Gantt by pod/brand, synced to creative strategy timelines
* Convert approved concepts into shootable plans (scenes, timings, dependencies, prop lists)
* Capacity plan to max five shoots/week without team burnout
* Join creative brainstorms and translate big ideas into executable production plans
Casting & Talent
* Run casting calls 7+ days before shoots
* Read every script in detail to understand tone, avatar, and demographic
* Match actors to scripts with zero tolerance for miscasts
* Issue actor packs: script, wardrobe/hair notes, call times, NDAs, payment terms
* Guarantee actors receive scripts 4‑5 days in advance (not 48 hours)
* Build and tag an Actor/Creator Database (age, accent, vibe, brand fit, rate, reliability, last used)
Logistics
* Confirm crew (camera, gaffer, audio, runner, BTS) and equipment lists
* Book studio/location with setup buffer
* Own props/product procurement 7+ days prior
* Produce call sheets & shoot sheets (scene order, timings, talent, wardrobe, props, contingencies)
* Lead T‑7 pre‑production call (Creative Strategy, Post, Crew)
* Lead T‑1 final check: confirmations, weather, parking, access, backups
Production (Shoot Day)
You run the day. No chaos. No improvisation.
* Lead from setup to wrap, keeping everything on schedule
* Ensure every script line, beat, claim, and legal disclaimer is captured
* Handle podcast/debate/buzzer‑style formats with host cues and B‑roll notes
* Guarantee actors arrive on time and fully briefed
* Solve issues in real‑time before they become problems
* Oversee file organization and uploads immediately post‑shoot
Creative Quality Control
Your mission isn’t just “get the shoot done.” It’s to make really good ads. This includes:
* Making sure A1 actors are set
* Ensuring actors know their lines and fit the brand
* Ensuring the crew knows what needs to be done
* Set design – oversee layout, props, depth. No flat or improvised sets.
* Framing & headroom – proper camera framing every time. Zero editor complaints.
* Actor direction – coach tone, pronunciation, pacing, energy, body movement, gestures
* Reference‑driven execution – study top competitor videos (provided by Creative Strategy), then execute at that level
Post‑Production Loop
* Deliver assets cleanly to editors with clear notes
* Hold a zero‑reshoot standard – reshoots cost money, time, and credibility
Actor Database Rebuild
The current talent pool is limiting creative output. You will rebuild it from the ground up:
* Audit all existing actors: performance reliability, script delivery, avatar match, brand fit
* Build new database by archetype (e.g., “masculine 30‑40,” “debate host,” “friendly explainer”)
* Include reels, photos, notes, rating scores
* Source fresh talent monthly across platforms, agencies, inbound creator funnels
* Rotate out underperformers, maintain a “hot list” of top performers
* Pre‑brief all actors with wardrobe, tone, persona, reference videos before shoot day
The Standards
* Think 5 steps ahead – plan for the week and month, not just the day
* Proactive > Reactive – update before being asked. Solve before being told.
* Founder mindset – own outcomes, not just tasks. This is your department.
* Elite communication – visible on Slack. Reply within 1‑2 hours. Never leave anyone chasing.
* Ask early, not late – night‑before problems are leadership failures. Escalate as soon as you see risk.
* Systematize everything – use checklists, SOPs, task boards. If it’s repeatable, it’s documented.
* Raise the standard – average actor quality and missed scripts are the weak points you’re here to fix.
What Success Looks Like (KPIs)
Hard metrics:
* 10‑12 shoots/month delivered on time, zero reshoots
* 100% of scripts locked 7‑10 days pre‑shoot
* 100% of actors cast 7+ days out
* 100% of actors receive scripts 4‑5 days in advance
* Zero same‑day logistics issues
* Editor satisfaction score: 9/10+ on asset quality
Behavioral metrics:
* Proactive updates without being chased
* Issues flagged and solved 48+ hours before shoots
* Creative quality increases (measured by winning ad %)
* Database growth: 10+ new vetted actors/month
Who You Are
Must‑haves:
* 2+ years producing video content at scale (agency, brand, or creator economy)
* Managed 8+ shoots/month independently and kept quality high
* Can read a script and visualize the exact person who should deliver it
* Thrives in organized chaos and thinks systematically under pressure
* Built production workflows from scratch (Gantt charts, call sheets, talent databases aren’t foreign concepts)
* Has an eye for creative quality – knows what great lighting, framing, and actor delivery look like
Bonus points:
* Experience with high‑performance ad creative (especially DTC/e‑commerce)
* Worked in fast‑scaling agencies where “good enough” wasn’t acceptable
* Hired, vetted, or managed talent pools before
* Geeks out on production efficiency and has strong opinions on how shoots should run
Red flags (don’t apply if this is you):
* Needs hand‑holding or constant direction
* Waits to be told what to do instead of figuring it out
* Thinks “good enough” is fine when time is tight
* Uncomfortable giving direct feedback to actors or crew
* Haven’t owned end‑to‑end production – just coordinated pieces

* Join a 6‑figure/month agency on track to dominate the UK market

How to apply: Your CV/portfolio – show us shoots you’ve produced, especially at scale
A 90‑second Loom video answering:
• Walk us through the most chaotic shoot you’ve ever managed and how you solved it
• What’s the biggest production mistake you see agencies making?
• Why do you want this role specifically?
A sample call sheet or shoot plan you’ve created (redact client names if needed)
We want to see how you think, not just what you’ve done. If you send just a CV, you won’t hear back.
Final Word
This isn’t a “coordinate and hope it works out” role. This is for someone who wants to own production end‑to‑end, set elite standards, and prove that world‑class creative doesn’t require chaos. If that’s you, apply. If it’s not, save us both the time.
