Creative Producer

Who We Are

The Farmer’s Dog is the fastest growing pet health service company in the US, and was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care – a fresh proposition in an industry riddled with manipulative and misleading marketing. We’re starting by radically improving the $100 billion pet food market, replacing bulk bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends healthy, freshly-made dog food, balanced by top veterinary nutritionists,directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative,honest, and delightful experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic and forward-thinking culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future. 

To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered hundreds of millions of meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to our customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.

Where You'll Come In

In order for our mission to succeed, we need to speak to dog owners with insightful, personal content that makes clear and persuasive arguments for fresh food and gives our brand a unique, compelling voice in the category (and beyond). We’re building a best-in-class (and Emmy-nominated!) in-house creative team to strategize, ideate, and execute campaigns and always-on advertising. As a critical part of this team, we’re looking for a passionate, hyper-organized, and dog-loving producer. The work you help create will help grow our business and our brand, and will help dogs everywhere live healthier, happier lives.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Bring creative ideas to life — you’ll work closely with art directors and copywriters to find solutions for how to take scripts, concepts, and content from words on a page to compelling real-world deliverables that fulfill briefs. 
• Deliver across multiple production disciplines including photography, commercial + video production, and experiential activations. 
• Develop production timelines and manage schedules for concepting, pre-production, production, post, and delivery, shepherding the work through approvals and ensuring that deadlines are met.
• Source and lead interaction with directors and production partners; oversee treatments, communicate with casting agents, actors, editors, post production vendors, and other partners, ensuring strong collaboration and that the creative is executed to the highest standard within all third-party relationships.
• Find creative production approaches for social assets and other lower-funnel paid media that allow us to shoot, edit, and deliver work quickly according to performance needs and/or cultural touchstone moments.
• Manage production budgets, working closely with members of the brand operations group, finance, and acquisition to ensure that bids are competitive, fees are fairly negotiated, incremental costs are discussed with clarity and alignment, and all payments are made on time and in the proper manner.
• Supply commercials to air on time and as per the technical briefs, working closely with media partners and post vendors through network clearance, versioning, and conform.
• Manage usage and licensing, including talent, music, and VO.

We're Excited About You Because

• You have 5+ years of experience as a creative producer within an agency and/or in-house team. A portfolio with creative, relevant work is required.
• You have managed, whether directly or indirectly, more junior members of a team and are a master at balancing delegation with careful oversight. You’re also an expert at managing cross-functional or external partners — you know how to reinforce requirements, approvals, and deadlines while also listening to stakeholders and being flexible/adapting where necessary.
• A broad awareness of production partners and the landscape of directors, DPs, editors, post production houses, and beyond to ensure the best possible team is assembled for any given project.
• You’re as comfortable working on high-investment projects as you are with small scrappy shoots.
• You're media and cultural savvy — you know the best way to deliver the best idea.
• You're adaptable to different working styles, mindsets, and personalities, showcasing a willingness to collaborate with all.
