Creator Producer - Donut Studios

About Donut Studios

New Engen is a digital marketing agency focused on helping brands grow more intelligently, using media, creative, analytics, influencer, and retail strategies to support performance-led campaigns across the customer journey. Donut Studios is the company’s internal creative team, built to produce high-performing, platform-specific digital content for ambitious brands. It works alongside other New Engen solutions such as the Acorn Creator Suite and Grapevine.ai to create fast, effective creative that drives outcomes.

The team includes strategists, creators, copywriters, editors, designers, account managers, and other collaborators who work together to support clients and one another. The culture values hard work, humility, and purposeful execution.

Role overview

The Creator Producer will oversee UGC production end to end, from the initial brief through final delivery. This includes reviewing scripts, organizing shoots, coordinating post-production, and making sure concepts are practical, production is well managed, and final assets meet quality and performance goals.

This role also involves self-shooting content for paid and organic social media across formats and platforms, whether in a home setup, studio environment, or on location. You’ll capture b-roll, product close-ups, and other supporting footage with a strong sense of what feels natural to each platform and engaging to audiences.

Another key part of the job is directing creators and talent during shoots, giving clear feedback and performance guidance so the content feels authentic, on-brand, and effective for social platforms. You will also work closely with Creative Strategy to evaluate ideas early, stress-test production feasibility, and shape concepts that can realistically be executed well.

In addition, you will manage production logistics such as sourcing props, planning locations, preparing shoots, and handing off assets after production. The work requires juggling several productions at different stages while maintaining timelines, communication, and deliverables. The team also expects the use of AI tools to support research, casting prep, file organization, pre-production, and broader workflow efficiency as the studio continues to refine AI-enabled production processes.

As a cross-functional partner, you’ll bring a production perspective into creative discussions, helping teams make decisions that account for what will perform and what can actually be produced. You’ll also be responsible for maintaining a strong creative standard so that output aligns with strategy, platform best practices, and overall quality expectations.

Responsibilities

• Manage UGC production from kickoff through delivery, including script review, shoot planning, execution, and post-production coordination.
• Create platform-native content independently for paid and organic social campaigns across different shooting environments.
• Direct creators and talent, offering feedback and coaching to improve on-camera performance.
• Work with Creative Strategy to evaluate ideas early and confirm they can be produced effectively.
• Handle production logistics such as props, locations, shoot preparation, and asset handoff.
• Keep multiple shoots and workstreams moving at once while staying on top of deadlines and details.
• Use AI tools and production software to improve research, planning, organization, and workflow speed.
• Contribute production expertise in cross-functional creative and execution discussions.
• Protect the quality of final content and ensure it matches strategic goals and platform expectations.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in production or content creation, preferably in digital, social, or creator-led work, with volume UGC or social content experience.
• Strong understanding of UGC and social-first creative, especially what performs on TikTok and Instagram.
• Hands-on mobile production capability, including filming, lighting, framing, audio capture, and camera settings.
• Comfort guiding creators or talent so their delivery feels natural, branded, and platform-appropriate.
• Strong visual judgment and attention to detail, including composition, aesthetics, continuity, wardrobe, and shot quality.
• Excellent organization and production management skills with the ability to run several projects at once.
• Independent, proactive work style with confidence to lead shoot days and make quick decisions.
• Comfort using AI tools and production platforms; familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite, Asana, Airtable, and Google Drive is an advantage.
• Ability to adapt in a fast-moving entrepreneurial environment and solve problems positively.
• Must be based in Los Angeles and available for frequent on-site shoots, including multiple shoot days per week in Manhattan Beach and other locations as needed.
