Producer (Full‑Time, Salt Lake City, UT)

About Us: Black Koles is a creative agency based in Salt Lake City specializing in outdoor, adventure, and regenerative agricultural storytelling. We are a tight‑knit team of production, marketing, and strategy experts passionate about transforming brand ideas into immersive content experiences. Our clients span the outdoor industry, ski and snowboard brands, hunting & fishing companies, and beyond – we live for creating compelling stories in wild and beautiful places.

With multiple projects always in motion, our agile team excels at bringing these projects to life while ensuring they reach their full potential.

Role Overview: We are seeking an extremely organized and thorough Producer (Line Producer) with a solid understanding of the production industry to help bring our client’s stories to life. In this hybrid role, you will balance creative vision with logistical execution – overseeing projects from pre‑production through delivery. You’ll work closely with our internal creative and production teams (directors, producers, editors) and amazing brand clients to ensure every production runs smoothly, on time, and on budget.

This is a full‑time position based in Salt Lake City, UT, with flexibility for a hybrid work schedule (mix of office, remote, and on‑location). The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience in film/video production management or line producing and thrives in a fast‑paced environment managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• Budget & Contracts: Develop and manage production budgets from start to finish, negotiating rates with vendors and freelance crew to optimize costs. Track all expenses and report on expenditures, making adjustments to prevent overages and keep projects profitable. Prepare and execute all Statements of Work (SOW) and contracts with subcontractors, vendors, and clients prior to project kick‑off, ensuring clear definition of deliverables and terms.
• Scheduling & Planning: Create detailed production schedules, shot lists, and shooting calendars for multiple concurrent projects. Coordinate all pre‑production logistics, from booking or scouting locations and securing permits to arranging equipment rentals and crew travel to ensure each shoot is set up for success. Monitor timelines and adjust schedules as needed in response to changes in scope or unforeseen challenges, keeping all stakeholders informed.
• On‑Set Production Management: Serve as the on‑site line producer during shoots (including traveling to location shoots ~10–25% of the time). Oversee daily on‑set operations to make sure everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Coordinate on‑set logistics such as crew call times, transportation, lodging, meals, and equipment setup/tear‑down. Proactively handle any last‑minute issues or changes that arise, troubleshooting in real‑time to minimize downtime and ensure the production stays on track and within budget.
• Crew & Vendor Coordination: Source, hire, and manage freelance crew members and vendors as needed per project. Negotiate contracts and day rates that fit within the budget while securing top talent. Clearly communicate shoot details, schedules, and expectations to all crew and third‑party partners, fostering a collaborative and efficient on‑set environment.
• Client Communication: Act as a primary point of contact for clients throughout the production process. Work closely with clients to understand and protect their vision, and provide them with regular updates on progress. Coordinate client approvals for key production elements and ensure the final deliverables meet or exceed the client’s expectations. Maintain professional and responsive communication, effectively managing feedback and incorporating client notes while keeping projects on schedule.
