Junior Producer

📋 Description

• • Be the engine that powers award-winning interactive experiences. As Junior Producer at Active Theory you will sit at the intersection of design, development, and client strategy, translating complex creative visions into actionable plans that ship on time and exceed expectations.
• • Own the day-to-day rhythm of multiple concurrent web and experiential projects. You will build and maintain living schedules in JIRA, break large scopes into sprint-ready tasks, and keep designers, developers, QA, and stakeholders marching to the same beat across North-American-friendly time zones.
• • Champion ruthless organization. From asset naming conventions to version-controlled Figma libraries, you will establish and police the small details that prevent big fires later. Expect to curate Trello/Asana boards, populate CMS entries, wrangle 3rd-party vendor deliverables, and ensure every PNG, JSON, and GLB lands in the right folder at the right resolution.
• • Serve as the team’s quality gatekeeper. You will run cross-browser/device QA passes, log reproducible bug tickets, and shepherd fixes through review cycles until every interaction feels buttery smooth on a 2017 Android phone and a 2024 MacBook alike.
• • Facilitate crystal-clear communication. You will draft concise daily stand-up recaps, prep slide decks for client check-ins, and translate technical blockers into plain English so that non-technical stakeholders understand impacts and trade-offs.
• • Anticipate risk before it becomes reality. By monitoring burndown charts, velocity trends, and external dependencies, you will flag slipping dates, scope creep, or resource gaps to Senior Producers early enough to pivot without drama.
• • Learn the craft of creative production. You will sit in on concept pitches, observe how estimates are built, and gradually take ownership of smaller work-streams—growing from supportive coordinator to trusted mini-PM over your first 12 months.
• • Contribute to an inclusive, remote-first culture. Whether you’re sharing a time-saving Slack bot or proposing a new retrospective format, your ideas for process improvement will be welcomed, tested, and celebrated.
• • Deliver work you’ll brag about. Past Active Theory launches have included immersive WebGL microsites, AR filters for global brands, and real-time data visualizations seen by millions. Your fingerprints will be on the next generation of these experiences.
• • Grow toward larger ownership. High-performing Junior Producers are promoted to mid-level within 18–24 months, taking full producer reins on marquee accounts and mentoring the next wave of juniors.
