Creative Producer

Richmond, VA (Hybrid - both remote and in-person)

Part-Time Contractor | $30–40/hr

Filmspire is hiring a Creative Producer.

Not a coordinator.

Not an assistant.

Not someone who waits to be told what to do.

We’re looking for someone who wants to own the narrative direction and project leadership of meaningful storytelling work — someone who can lead interviews, shape story arcs, manage timelines, and confidently guide clients from kickoff to delivery.

We are looking for someone with a GREAT personality:  warm, engaging, great energy, makes clients feel like a million bucks.  60-70% Project Manager 30-40% Creative. NOT a camera operator or video editor.

At Filmspire, we help essential service and infrastructure-driven organizations tell impactful, authentic stories.

We don’t create surface-level corporate content.

We pursue impact, beauty, and soul.

Here is a short video from our CEO about the role: https://filmspire.neetorecord.com/watch/7dc061cb97fb70e39739

You won’t just “manage projects.”

You will:

• Lead pre-production planning and narrative development
• Write interview questions that uncover real human stories
• Develop storyboards and write interview questions shape thematic direction
• Conduct interviews on set and protect narrative clarity
• Collaborate closely with our Filmmaker on visual execution
• Oversee post-production narrative feedback
• Select music intentionally to elevate emotional depth
• Manage client communication and project timelines
• Ensure deliverables are published and completed on schedule

On set, you lead story.

Our Filmmaker leads production execution.

Together, you ensure both narrative depth and visual excellence.

You will help elevate real companies doing real work that sustains our communities.

You will help tell stories that matter.

Within 90 days:

• You independently lead project flow from kickoff to delivery
• You shape story direction confidently
• You protect emotional depth during interviews
• You move timelines forward without reminders
• Clients feel supported and clear
• The Founder is freed to focus on scaling the agency

If by Day 60 we still feel like we’re the ones pushing projects forward, something is wrong.

Ownership is non-negotiable.

You likely have:

• 3–6+ years in video production or agency environments
• Experience in conducting interviews on shoots 
• Experience managing client-facing creative projects
• Strong creative instincts (storyboarding, creating mood boards, writing interview questions)
• Strong written communication
• Confidence in front of clients

You thrive in high-trust environments.

You move quickly but thoughtfully.

You care deeply about craft.

You take responsibility without being asked.

And you want your work to mean something.

• You’ll help shape a scaling agency from the inside.
• You’ll be trusted with real ownership — not micromanaged.
• You’ll work on diverse, meaningful projects across essential industries.
• You’ll collaborate directly with the Founder.
• You’ll help build something that lasts.

This is not a passive role.

It’s a leadership role inside a small, ambitious, mission-driven team.

What is your favorite color?  Bonus points if you tell me your favorite color because that means you actually read this job description and didn't just hit apply after seeing the posting.  You have good attention to detail, which is what we are looking for.

• $30–40/hour, depending on experience and demonstrated ownership
• 15–25 hours per week to start
• Contractor role with growth opportunity as Filmspire scales

Candidates who demonstrate strong independent project leadership during the evaluation process will be considered at the top of the compensation range.

Our process includes:

• A structured take-home creative planning assignment
• A paid trial project
• A live working session

We hire intentionally.

We value ownership.

We protect culture.

If you’re looking for a comfortable production job, this isn’t it.

If you want to build something meaningful — and own real creative responsibility — we’d love to meet you.
