Assistant Producer

Summary of role:

We are looking for a highly organised and creative video Assistant Producer (AP) to join Liquona.

You will work closely with our Creative Producers (CP) to support and assist them in all of their activities, and once up and running, we would hope to give you your own select projects to start producing.

What does an AP role look like? Well, whilst our producers are responsible for all of a project, you’ll be taking on some of the roles that our producers are responsible for. Once something is handed over to you, your experience and initiative will equip you to see something through, making decisions, and making progress on the task.

You’ll still be reporting back to the producer, keeping them updated, using those excellent communication skills you have.

Our CPs take full responsibility for each project’s success: From collaborating with our designers on animation concepts, to choosing the right freelancer to direct a TV ad, to scripting a virtual reality experience, to producing an edit, and you’ll be in the middle of it all with them, saying ‘I can cover that bit’.

Who Are Liquona?

Liquona is a creative and ambitious production agency that offers great creative with great customer service.

A friendly team who are, growing, forward thinking, award-winning (both for the business and the work we produce), and a Televisual Top 50 Corporate Video Company.
