Job Title: Creative and Video Producer

Location: Office-based, Hartley Wintney, Hampshire

Employment Type: Full-time

Dark Matter is a hybrid consultancy operating at the intersection of technology, business, and society. We translate first-hand intelligence into creative impact, ranging from consultancy and strategic foresight for tech brands and governments to broadcast-quality documentary and drama series. Produced end to end with go-to-market campaign strategy, creation and execution.

Role Purpose

Dark Matter is seeking a versatile Producer to oversee the physical and creative production of film, campaign, marketing and digital assets. You will manage production workflows from creative briefing through post-production delivery. You will need broad production knowledge across mediums, particularly film, crew and vendor management, and creative problem-solving. Film is a key part of what we do so an understanding of end-to-end video production is key. However, this role extends out to management and organisation of the production of all creative output for marketing campaigns.
