About NM Productions
NM Productions is looking for a proactive, organised, and experienced Producer to join our London team.

This is a hands-on role for someone confident in managing productions from brief through to delivery, overseeing budgets, coordinating teams, liaising with clients and suppliers, and ensuring projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently, and to a high standard.

Role Overview
The Producer will manage and support a wide range of projects, including motion shoots, branded content, events, social campaigns, and commercial productions.

The role will involve leading production logistics, putting together and managing budgets, overseeing schedules, liaising with suppliers and crew, managing client communication, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest possible standard.

The ideal candidate will have 4-6 years’ experience working on the production side, ideally with experience across motion shoots and a strong understanding of APA jobs. They should be confident working autonomously, taking ownership of projects, solving problems proactively, and managing junior team members or production support where required.

This role is suited to someone who can not only deliver their own work to a high standard, but also set the tone for those around them. They should be confident leading by example, supporting junior team members, delegating clearly, and helping shape a positive, hardworking, and collaborative production culture.

The role may require travel within the UK and overseas, so the ideal candidate should be flexible and comfortable working on location as and when needed.

Key Responsibilities

Production Management
Lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of productions across motion shoots, branded content, events, social, commercial, and creative projects.

Manage production logistics including call sheets, schedules, crew bookings, suppliers, locations, permits, travel, accommodation, catering, kit logistics, and shoot documentation.

Oversee production paperwork including movement orders, contact sheets, risk assessments, release forms, insurance documents, shoot notes, and project folders.

Act as a key point of contact for crew, suppliers, talent, clients, agencies, and internal teams.

Ensure all production elements are organised ahead of shoot days, with key information clearly communicated to all relevant parties.

Maintain clear, accurate, and organised production documents, timelines, trackers, contact sheets, delivery schedules, and project files.

Budgeting & Financial Management
Prepare and manage production budgets for motion shoots, branded content, events, social campaigns, and other creative projects.

Research, source, and negotiate costs across crew, suppliers, locations, studios, kit, travel, accommodation, catering, post-production, music, licensing, and other production requirements.

Prepare budget estimates, supplier costings, cost breakdowns, and client-facing budget documents.

Manage APA-style budgeting processes where required, ensuring costs are accurate, clearly presented, and commercially considered.

Track budgets throughout the project lifecycle, flagging overages, changes, or additional requirements in good time.

Support and oversee purchase orders, invoices, supplier quotes, reconciliations, petty cash, float management, and final cost reporting.

Work closely with the Executive Producer to ensure budgets are managed responsibly and projects remain commercially viable.

Project Management & Client Communication
Manage project timelines, key milestones, client approvals, deliverables, and deadlines from brief through to final delivery.

Attend internal and client meetings, take and circulate actions where required, and ensure next steps are followed up.

Coordinate across internal teams, clients, agencies, crew, suppliers, and post-production partners to keep projects moving efficiently.

Take ownership of assigned productions while keeping the Executive Producer informed of progress, risks, costs, and key decisions.

Anticipate potential issues and proactively offer solutions to keep projects on track.

Ensure communication is clear, professional, and timely across all stakeholders.

Team Management & Delegation
Manage junior production support, production assistants, runners, interns, freelancers, and suppliers where required.

Delegate tasks clearly, ensuring junior team members are properly briefed and supported.

Follow up on delegated tasks to ensure work is completed accurately, on time, and to a high standard.

Support and mentor junior team members, helping them understand not just what needs to be done, but how to approach production work with care, accountability, and professionalism.

Set a positive example through strong work ethic, calm communication, clear decision-making, and a collaborative attitude.

Support efficient workflows across pre-production, shoot days, post-production, and project wrap.

Act as a calm, confident, and supportive presence within the team.

Shoot & Post-Production Support
Lead or support on shoot days with crew and talent logistics, transport, catering, paperwork, releases, kit coordination, client hospitality, and on-set problem-solving.

Help ensure shoots run smoothly, safely, professionally, and in line with the agreed production plan.

Be willing to work on location in the UK and overseas when required.

Coordinate post-production workflows 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.

Oversee final asset delivery, including file naming, delivery specs, uploads, archiving, and project close-out.

Skills & Experience

Experience working across motion shoots, with a strong understanding of production logistics, pre-production, shoot requirements, and post-production workflows.

A strong understanding of APA jobs and APA-style production processes, including budgeting, crew and supplier coordination, shoot paperwork, and production delivery.

Candidate Profile
We are looking for someone highly organised, reliable, proactive, and confident leading productions across a range of formats.

The ideal candidate will be able to balance creative, logistical, financial, and client-facing responsibilities while remaining calm, practical, and solutions-focused.

As a small team, personality, attitude, and leadership style are hugely important to us. This role requires someone who not only works hard and takes pride in what they do, but who also sets the tone for those around them. They should bring a positive, collaborative energy to the team and be able to lead by example, especially when guiding more junior team members.

The right person will be comfortable taking ownership of projects, making decisions, managing pressure, and moving work forward without constant direction. They should also be confident in
supporting, mentoring, and developing junior team members, helping them understand not just what needs to be done, but how to approach production work with care, accountability, and professionalism.

We are looking for someone who can delegate clearly, give constructive feedback, and create an environment where junior team members feel supported, motivated, and able to grow. Their work ethic, attitude, and communication style should help shape the wider production culture in a positive way.

While relevant experience is important, we value drive, initiative, emotional intelligence, and being a good person just as highly. Skills can be developed, but a strong attitude, leadership mindset, and genuine team spirit are essential.

This role would suit someone ambitious, practical, personable, and eager to continue growing within production, while also helping others develop within NM Productions.
