ROLE: Production Manager for Top YouTube Channels

Overview

Qlay Co., a top creator-first digital studio based in Las Vegas, is looking for a Production Manager. This role supports the day-to-day development, scheduling, execution, and delivery of content alongside the company’s creatives and small production team. If you are obsessed with efficiency with an “all business but also fun” mentality, this is a role for you.

This will include the "Spy Ninjas" series, one of the longest-running narrative shows in YouTube history with over 15 billion views and 40 million subscribers.  These are the two channels we release new weekly episodes for the show.

This position will be a key contributor on the production team, supporting communication, schedules, and execution while learning how to navigate a high-efficiency YouTube pipeline. You will report to the President of the company, but will be expected to learn the ins and outs of the operation, help build and improve processes, and create documentation fairly independently quickly.

We are located in Las Vegas, NV and you will be required to live here or relocate for this opportunity. You will be filming and producing videos around the Vegas area including our brand new 55,000 square foot space called Spy Ninjas HQ (https://spyninjashq.com). Interviews can be held remotely if you are not local to the area, and if you are selected for this role, relocation compensation will be discussed.

• Passion for YouTube videos and YouTube Creator economy.
• Experience managing a Production Team to successfully, consistently produce digital content
• Expertise in low-budget but high-quality production, open to a non-traditional guerilla style production process, thrives with a small crew and part of executing the production on set, willing to pitch in to help production complete their day.
• Process oriented. Enjoys building, running, and enforcing highly organized, structured, efficient processes. A true “nerd for process.”
• Expert in building, maintaining and updating production schedules from pre-production through post-production and upload.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to give constructive feedback and stay on top of fast-moving timelines, priorities, and cross-functional needs.
• Efficient written communication, meetings and documentation that convey key points concisely and professionally.
• Hiring: Experience writing, posting, interviewing, and hiring team members.

We are a family friendly brand. A love for content like “Power Rangers”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and more.
