Job Description:

Vernon Hills, IL, United States

As our Studio Producer, you are responsible for writing, producing, directing, shooting and editing effective videos, and producing/directing photography projects that align with brand marketing strategy and corporate initiatives.
Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint. When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.

The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we've perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.

Here's what you can expect every day:

• Responsible for meeting with clients, brainstorming concepts, writing, producing, directing, shooting and editing video for various brand marketing, trade marketing, communications, advertising and corporate projects.
  • Responsible for scripting, story-boards, location scouting, selecting and directing talent, and delivering projects on deadline.
  • Make technical and creative decisions regarding locations, lighting, art direction, shooting, angles, camera placement, and audio needs.
  • Capable of leading production crews, defining project scope, managing client expectations and delivering projects from inception to completion.
