Production Operations Coordinator

Gaia is seeking a highly organized Production Operations Coordinator to support the flow of content from production through air schedule readiness while also managing travel logistics for show guests, talent, and internal production teams.

This role is an excellent fit for someone with experience in television, media, production coordination, post-production, scheduling, or studio operations who understands the urgency of deadlines, the importance of accuracy, and the many moving parts required to get content ready for air.

On the Content Operations side, you will help move titles through the final stages of readiness, ensuring content is accurate, polished, properly tagged, QC’d, and prepared for release according to the air schedule.

On the Content Production side, you will coordinate domestic and international travel for Gaia guests, talent and production employees, managing logistics from booking through arrival to ensure a seamless experience.

The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, detail-driven, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple schedules, deliverables, personalities, and last-minute changes.

At Gaia, soft skills are key to success. We seek candidates with strong interpersonal abilities – effective communication, teamwork, prioritization, and problem solving – who can adapt to change, manage conflicts with empathy, and collaborate well with diverse teams. While technical skills matter, we highly value those who build positive relationships, contribute to a supportive culture, and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset.

If this sounds like you, you’ll thrive in our dynamic environment
