Hi, we’re looking for an experienced Video Producer to join our team.
Who are we?
Motiv Productions is a Leeds-based video production and animation company. We make films that help organisations and brands explain what they do, tell brilliant stories, engage audiences and build trust. That might be a brand film one week, a customer case study the next, maybe a quirky animation, recruitment campaign, TV advert or social content series after that.
No two projects are the same, which is exactly how we like it.
We’re a small, agile and good-humoured team with big ambitions. We work hard, we care about the details, and we take our clients’ projects seriously, but we also believe the best work happens when people enjoy what they do and feel trusted to bring ideas to the table.
We’re now building the next stage of Motiv and want someone who’s excited to be part of that.
About the role:
This is a hands-on, client-facing producer role for someone who understands video production from first conversation to final export.
You’ll help take projects from initial brief through creative development, planning, filming, editing and delivery. You’ll work closely with clients, contributors, camera crews, editors, animators and the internal Motiv team to make sure every project is organised, creative, on budget and delivered to a high standard.
Because we’re a small team, this is not a narrow “stay in your lane” role. You’ll have variety, flexibility and the chance to shape how projects are approached. Some days you might be planning a shoot, some days you’ll be helping shape a script, some days you’ll be on location, and some days you’ll be working with the edit team to get a film over the line.
If you like variety, responsibility and being part of a team where your ideas matter, this could be a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
- Producing video projects from initial brief through to final delivery.
- Speaking with clients, understanding their aims and helping shape the right production approach.
- Developing creative ideas, storylines, scripts, interview structures and production plans.
- Planning shoots, schedules, crews, kit, contributors, locations and logistics.
- Keeping projects moving, organised and on budget.
- Producing and overseeing filming days so shoots feel calm, professional and well run.
- Working closely with camera operators, editors, animators and motion graphics artists.
- Managing post-production, including edit schedules, client feedback, amends, graphics, captions and final exports.
- Spotting opportunities to make projects stronger, clearer or more useful for the client.
- Helping clients get the most from their content across websites, social, LinkedIn, YouTube, events, internal comms and campaigns.
- Keeping an eye on new production trends, social content styles, AI tools and digital platforms.
- Being a positive, organised and proactive member of the team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we’re looking for:
Someone who is creative, organised, practical and confident with clients.
You’ll probably already have experience producing professional video content for a production company, agency, brand or in-house team. You’ll understand how shoots work, how edits come together, how to manage expectations, and how to keep a project on track without losing sight of the creative idea.
You should have:
- Experience producing professional video content.
- A strong understanding of pre-production, production and post-production.
- Confidence speaking with clients and asking the right questions.
- Good storytelling instincts and the ability to shape a brief into a clear film.
- Strong organisation and the ability to manage several projects at once.
- A practical understanding of filming, editing, graphics, audio and delivery workflows.
- A commercial awareness of budgets, schedules and production value.
- The ability to stay calm when things change, because in production, they often do.
- A collaborative mindset and a willingness to muck in when needed.
- A genuine interest in making video content that is engaging, useful and well crafted.
