Looking for SEASONED Sr. Production Manager - Need to be production person through and through - Please don't apply if you're not trying to move up the production ladder to LP or higher - You will have coordinator and PA's, but will need to function without oversight for majority of prep and the 1-2 week shoot (All In LA).

If you don't do well with paperwork (PO's, Call Sheets, and Production reports) while also having the ability to manage locations and the set on the day to day basis - don't waste my time.
Work well unsupervised, proofread your work, and manage up when needed - If this is your MO, I want you.
THIS SHOW WILL BE TOUGH WORK AND IS ON AN ACCELERATED SCHEDULE - Don't apply if you're not up for it.
5 total weeks for now, but will extend through to 2023 and have you work on multiple projects (One project at a time) if you are the right person for the job and we work well together.
Please include LP, EIC, or EP level references with application.

Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).
Need a hero PC or PM who just exudes "can do" attitude for new season of home renovation TV show for major production company at a top network. This person has to be cool, calm, collected, organized. They have to be someone who can do all the production logistic basics that are par for the course (paperwork, PA's, meals etc.) while also being someone that in a pinch could be the main voice on set or deal with talent. Not a job for anyone who hasn't managed a full show soup to nuts before.
Broad strokes for the show:
- New Jersey based with Union County as the rough center, so ideally need a NJ local with a vehicle, but open to flexibility for the right candidate
- Will be filming weekends. Very important and inflexible. Need someone totally cool with Mon/Tue weekends for a few months
- 5-6 months of filming, but like most home reno it will be rhythmic, so once we make an episode the whole show will just be rinse/repeat
- Great company with tons of content. Good job for someone looking for steady income and solid connections.
- Throw something in the cover letter about being "good under pressure" to show me you read this thing
- Don't worry too much about the pressure though. While I need someone on my hip that is a pro and could sub for me in a pinch, you won't be the dept head and I prioritize health and well-being as well as making great TV so you will never feel out on a limb on your own.
Please reach out if you think you might be a good fit!
