Head of Production

At StoryVid, we’re building the modern model for commercial video. We don’t chase trends or pump out generic content. We partner with brands that want strategy, story, and execution aligned from day one. Whether we’re producing a full-scale brand anthem, a product launch campaign, or a month-long content engine, our goal is simple: deliver creative that performs and a client experience that feels like a true partnership.

Now we’re looking for a Head of Production who can own the operational heartbeat of our production ecosystem. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in structured chaos: managing timelines, supervising producers, collaborating directly with AEs, Directors, and our marketing team, and making sure every project delivered by StoryVid is executed at a high standard.

Position Summary

The Head of Production is the operational center of StoryVid’s production team. You will run the day-to-day production pipeline, keep projects moving, protect timelines, and ensure our internal teams and clients experience a smooth, transparent, and buttoned-up process.

You’ll drive the entire execution workflow: from estimating and scoping to pre-production, shoot management, post-production handoff, and wrap. You’ll supervise producers, coordinate with directors and editors, and work closely with our AEs who stay involved through the entire client relationship.

This role sits at the intersection of creative, strategy, and operations. You’ll help refine production systems, elevate quality standards, make resource decisions, prevent burnout, and maintain clarity in communication between production, creative, post, and marketing.

This is a long-term leadership track role for someone who wants to shape the next generation of commercial production in Kentucky and beyond.
