Title: Ownage Pranks - Unscripted Prank Calls & Animations
Job Requirements: This is a remote job.
Additional Requirements:
- Did you have a chance to look into the brand and get a rough feel for what we're producing?

We are looking for an experienced comedy producer to join the growing team at Ownage Pranks – a hilarious and successful YouTube channel with over 5million subscribers and billions of views -- specializing in viewer-requested unscripted prank calls and animations. We are expanding our team as our formats grow to now include green screen video and other experiments.

Please take a look at the YouTube channel to see some of the recent content, we're sitting on troves of hilarious, unscripted raw prank call content, and the right kind of producer with clever storytelling experience, can really help us SCALE when package these prank calls, tell the prank story in the most compelling way, and make the episodes shine.

Example of an incredible video and some unscripted prank 'storytelling', but was done without an experienced producer, and still yielded almost 4million views (and it's an hour long prank call, which has to be 'good' if it got that much viewership)

This is a hybrid role of creative and logistics. You’ll be involved in all aspects including pre-production, prank audio recording, post-production and more.

To elaborate in more detail, duties would include things like, but not limited to:

- Brainstorm new content, schedule shoots, write suggested context voiceover for episodes
- Coordinate with media manager to get footage to editors, communicate story to editors and/or edit string-outs/rough-cuts, screen all editor rough cuts and send notes accordingly
- Create raw recording calendar, content posting calendar, communicate due dates and time limits on all edits
- Be a leader, and do your best to solve problems as they arise, to avoid bottlenecks

A clear understanding of the brand and opportunity at hand will go a long way, I encourage you to peruse through some of the existing material on YouTube to get a better idea, and present specific ideas about how YOU can bring some unique value to the team.

This a brand that revolves around prank calls and hilarious, unscripted and real viewer submitted stories. It's incredibly fun for the right candidates, and we're looking for some amazing storytellers and leaders, to join our team.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

Don't stop now... keep hunting!
