About NM Productions
NM Productions is looking for a proactive, organised, and ambitious Junior Producer to join our London team.
This is a hands-on role for someone confident in managing production logistics, supporting budgets, coordinating teams, and helping ensure projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently, and to a high standard.
Role Overview
The Junior Producer will support the production team across a wide range of projects, including motion shoots, branded content, events, social campaigns, and commercial productions.
The role will involve coordinating logistics, putting together and tracking budgets, managing schedules, liaising with suppliers and crew, supporting client communication, and helping oversee projects from brief through to final delivery.
The ideal candidate will have 3-4 years’ experience working on the production side, ideally with experience across motion shoots and an understanding of APA jobs. They should be comfortable working autonomously, taking ownership of tasks, using initiative to solve problems, and delegating tasks to junior support where required.
The role may require travel within the UK and overseas, so the ideal candidate should be flexible and comfortable working on location as needed.
Key Responsibilities
Production Coordination
Support the planning, coordination, and delivery of productions across motion shoots, branded content, events, social, commercial, and creative projects.
Assist with production logistics including call sheets, schedules, crew bookings, suppliers, locations, permits, travel, accommodation, catering, kit logistics, and shoot documentation.
Support with production paperwork including movement orders, contact sheets, risk assessments, release forms, insurance documents, shoot notes, and project folders.
Act as a point of contact for crew, suppliers, talent, clients, agencies, and internal teams where required.
Maintain organised production documents, timelines, trackers, contact sheets, delivery schedules, and project files.
Budgeting & Financial Coordination
Assist in putting together production budgets for motion shoots, branded content, events, social campaigns, and other creative projects.
Research and source costs across crew, suppliers, locations, studios, kit, travel, accommodation, catering, post-production, music, licensing, and other production requirements.
Prepare budget estimates, supplier costings, and cost breakdowns under the guidance of the Executive Producer.
Support APA-style budgeting processes where required.
Track budgets throughout the project lifecycle, flagging overages, changes, or additional requirements in good time.
Support with purchase orders, invoices, supplier quotes, reconciliations, petty cash, float management, and final cost reporting.
Project Management & Team Support
Support the production team in managing timelines, milestones, client approvals, deliverables, and deadlines.
Attend internal and client meetings, take notes, circulate actions, and follow up on next steps.
Manage assigned tasks independently, ensuring deadlines are met and risks are escalated appropriately.
Coordinate across internal teams, clients, agencies, crew, suppliers, and post-production partners to keep projects moving efficiently.
Take ownership of assigned workstreams while keeping the Executive Producer informed of progress.
Delegate tasks to production assistants, runners, interns, or junior team members where appropriate, ensuring work is clearly briefed and followed up.
Shoot & Post-Production Support
Support on shoot days with crew and talent logistics, transport, catering, paperwork, releases, kit coordination, client hospitality, and general on-set problem-solving.
Help ensure shoots run smoothly, safely, and professionally, acting as a calm and reliable presence on set.
Be willing to work on location in the UK and overseas when required.
Assist with post-production coordination, including edit schedules, asset management, feedback tracking, version control, music searches, licensing, client approvals, and final delivery requirements.
Liaise with editors, post houses, sound designers, composers, colourists, and other post-production partners.
Support with final asset delivery, file naming, delivery specs, uploads, archiving, and project close-out.

Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone highly organised, reliable, proactive, and confident working across different types of productions.
The ideal candidate will be able to balance creative, logistical, and financial responsibilities while remaining calm, practical, and solutions-focused.
As a small team, personality and attitude are hugely important to us. We are looking for someone who works hard, takes pride in what they do, and brings a positive, collaborative energy to the team, without taking themselves too seriously.
They should be comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, taking ownership of tasks, helping others where needed, and moving work forward without constant direction.
While relevant experience is important, we value work ethic, drive, initiative, and being a good person above all else.
Skills can be developed, but a strong attitude, willingness to learn, and genuine team spirit are essential.
This role would suit someone ambitious, practical, personable, and eager to continue growing within production, with the potential to develop further within NM Productions.
