The Role

Theorist is seeking a Production Coordinator to support the Head of Production in ensuring seamless operations and workflow across our four main Theory channels, GTLive, and LoreFi. As a key team member, you'll be involved in all aspects of production—from industry-shaping creative development to final distribution, and all of the details and micro moments in between.

Success in this role hinges on several key factors. The ideal candidate must be highly organized, able to multitask effectively, and demonstrate strong communication skills with the ability to solve problems proactively. The Production Coordinator should be able to independently coordinate and plan the product pipeline week to week, serve as the primary communication link between creatives and production teams, and handle larger organizational tasks such as video backups and equipment purchasing with reliability and timeliness. Our close-knit culture thrives on meritocracy, fostering both personal and professional growth. Good ideas are rewarded, and we prioritize open-communication, consistency and embracing our "nerd-dom". We value honesty, knowledge, and community engagement to create an environment supportive of one another.

This is a full-time, in-person role based out of our studio in Raleigh, North Carolina with a salary range of $55,000-$64,000 based on years of experience.
