Video Project Manager

Our Mission

The Dirt World (food, water, shelter, power, and transportation) is the foundation of humanity. And hardworking people are the foundation of the Dirt World. But these folks—who have served society relentlessly for decades—are retiring.

BuildWitt's mission is to build the Dirt World's next generation by helping companies attract top talent, train them to their fullest potential, and retain them for the long haul.

The Opportunity

BuildWitt is looking for a Video Project Manager to become the backbone of our media team. We produce high-impact video content ranging from technical construction training modules to a high-energy, weekly YouTube vlog.

You’ll be responsible for managing video project intake, following projects through design, creative and production processes, and assisting with scheduling and resource allocation. This is a highly autonomous, critical role that requires a strong project management background and understanding of full-lifecycle video and motion production.

Location: This is a hybrid role based in Nashville, TN.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain project timelines. Maintain documentation of internal and external project status and route deliverables for all necessary feedback/approvals within the project management software. 
• Team Synchronization: Act as the drawstring for our 14-person team, ensuring editors, shooters, and freelancers are aligned on schedules and priorities.
• Production Planning: Assist media leaders and directors as needed to help schedule and plan shoots, assign tasks, and keep our team moving forward. 
• Deliverable Tracking: Ensure all video assets (training materials and YouTube content) are uploaded, reviewed, and approved on schedule.
• Communication Hub: Bridge the gap on the creative team providing clear status updates and managing expectations.

About You:

• 2+ years of experience in project coordination or production management.
• Proven experience working within a media or creative agency environment. You understand the nuances of video production like post-production timelines, file management, and the fast-paced nature of YouTube content.
• Advanced proficiency in Monday.com or a similar platform.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail.
• You naturally develop strong, trusting relationships with your team and customers.
• You’re comfortable moving fast to organize and gather requirements from multiple stakeholders.
• You’re able to accurately assess and prioritize multiple priorities in an ever-changing environment.
• You’re highly organized and know the right timing to step in to ensure creative projects remain on track.
• You can respectfully push back and offer alternate solutions if timelines and requirements are unrealistic. For both stakeholders and the creative team, you cut through ambiguity to find the truth and are proactive in offering solutions.
• You have a sense of urgency, prioritization, forward-thinking, and are detail-oriented.
• Proficient in G-Suite, Teamwork, and Slack a plus.

About Us (Why We're Not For Everyone):

• We're a start-up. We don't have everything figured out.
• We push ourselves as a team and individuals, requiring a strong stomach for discomfort and growth.
• We move fast.
• We believe in transparency and radical candor and practice hard conversations regularly.
• Hybrid doesn't mean we hang out and mess about.
• It's not about us—it's about the Dirt World.
