As a Producer, you are the architect of these creative endeavors. You are responsible for managing the technical and creative friction that occurs when high-end artistic vision meets the logistical realities of high-stakes commercial production. You are the guardian of the client’s budget, the artist’s integrity, and the studio’s reputation for excellence.

1. Strategic Bidding and Fiscal Architecture Your role begins long before the camera rolls. You will analyze complex creative briefs to identify core objectives, target demographics, and the “soul” of the project.

Proposal Development: Collaborate with department heads to build bespoke bidding strategies and surgical budgets that reflect the prestige of the Rodeo brand while remaining competitive.
Financial Stewardship: Manage the P&L of every project. You are responsible for ensuring healthy margins and providing financial transparency to Executive Producers and the leadership team.
Negotiation: Act as the primary point of contact for budgetary shifts. When a client requests an “impossible” pivot, you find the middle ground that preserves quality without compromising the studio’s financial health.

2. Comprehensive Project Lifecycle Management You will serve as the project’s central nervous system, coordinating every moving part from the initial “yes” to the final delivery.

Pre-Production: Orchestrate the logistics of casting, location scouting, and crew hiring. Ensure all AQTIS and AICCP regulations are strictly followed.
On-Set Leadership: Oversee live-action shoots and photo sessions. You are the person who keeps the production moving, resolving conflicts in real-time and ensuring the Director or Photographer has the resources needed to excel.
Post-Production Oversight: While this isn’t a VFX-heavy role, you will collaborate with the post teams at Rodeo FX to ensure color grading, editing, and adaptations for global distribution channels are executed flawlessly.

3. Artist Representation and Talent Mentorship A producer at Rodeo Production is an advocate for art. You will work closely with our roster of creators to ensure their unique visual signatures are respected and enhanced by the production process.

Resource Strategy: Determine the best “match” between an artist’s style and a client’s brand identity.
Culture Building: Mentor junior production staff and coordinators, instilling the “Rodeo Way”—a blend of obsessive attention to detail, creative courage, and professional rigor.

4. Business Evolution and Market Positioning Help shape the future of the department. You will contribute to the strategic development of our artist roster and help update our production toolsets.

Technological Integration: Explore and implement new workflows, whether they involve procedural production tools, AI-assisted scheduling, or innovative distribution strategies.

We are seeking a “heavyweight” in the world of commercial production. The ideal candidate has spent a decade navigating the complexities of high-fashion shoots, automotive commercials, and large-scale experiential events.

The 10-Year Milestone: You must have at least 10 years of experience in advertising, photography, and video production. Your name is recognized in the Montreal and international production community.
Technical & Legal Fluency: You have a deep understanding of AQTIS and AICCP. You can navigate a union set with confidence and expertise.
Digital Mastery: Expert proficiency in G Suite, Mac OS, and professional production software (e.g., Hot Budget, Dropbox, Microsoft Office).
Global Mindset: You are ready to travel. Our clients are based in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and beyond; your passport is always ready.
Communication: You are bilingual (French/English) and possess the interpersonal “soft skills” to manage high-profile clients and visionary artists who may have conflicting priorities.
