Job Summary:  

The Creative Development Producer role is perfect for a writer/director/editor who has honed their skills in all three of those areas. This role might be for you if you’re an idea machine who can’t stop thinking of cool shots and fun ads.

Ruggable has a robust team of producers, copywriters, and editors, but we need someone who can effectively harness these resources to develop compelling video creative. In this role, you’ll direct commercials and special projects for the production team. As the director, you will guide creative development in each phase—brainstorming, storyboarding, and building pitch decks. You’ll also create a music and storyboard animatic that communicates the project's vision to our post-production team, enabling them to work independently while you move on to the next project.

You’ll continue to develop creative content with your post-production abilities. Leveraging our extensive library of previously shot footage, you’ll write and edit ads, connecting the dots between audience, available footage, and marketing objectives. Additionally, you may be tasked with editing spec ads and crafting assembly edits for the post team. Given that our team’s remote server workflow is a cutting-edge post process, we need someone with extensive Adobe Premiere Pro experience.

While this role spans every phase of video production, you’ll be part of a team, so you won’t shoulder every production phase alone. You must be able to work independently and in a large team while addressing the needs of multiple stakeholders.
