Vacancies

Join Our Team: 2x Producers

Film and Video Umbrella are seeking to hire two part-time (three days per week) Producers who will, between them, deliver FVU’s programme of artist’s moving image works, co-ordinating and overseeing the delivery of our multifaceted production activity. Producers will provide creative production and postproduction support and expertise, working alongside the Director and the team while managing key freelance personnel, to ensure that FVU’s commissions are realised to the highest artistic standard, to deadline and within budget.

Owing to the fluctuating nature of the Producer workload, the Producer role/s also carry some of the administrative duties for the organisation, such as administrating FVU’s calls for entries schemes.

If you are an experienced or aspiring Producer, or someone who wants to transition into this field (whether that be from curatorial roles within the visual arts, or from a more traditional film background, where you may already be working as a Producer, Production Manager or First AD), and if you want to work with visual artists to make exceptional moving image work, we would love to hear from you.

Salary

FTE salary starting at £30,000 and capped at £35,000 depending on experience. Film and Video Umbrella operates a four day week, and the Producer roles are three days per week within this.

Contract

Permanent
