### 🧠 About Shook Digital

At Shook Digital, we're building the production engine for the next generation of advertisers. High-performing UGC is no longer a "nice-to-have." It is the core of the modern ad stack. We help brands scale their TikTok presence by turning creative chaos into high-performing systems.

Founded in the era of short-form video, Shook has become the partner of choice for brands that need to move fast without losing creative quality. What unites our team is a relentless focus on learning speed, operational rigor, and a deep understanding of why people stop scrolling.

Our goal is to make Shook Digital the global standard for UGC. We want to build a system so efficient that "20-day delivery" feels like a law of nature, not a challenge. This role is central to that momentum.

### 🎬 The Role

We're looking for someone to own the production machine — starting from the blank page. This isn't about "watching videos" or shepherding someone else's idea through a pipeline. It's about developing the concept and script yourself, then managing the complex lifecycle of talent, deadlines, and technical constraints that turns that idea into a high-performing asset, every single time.

The best producers make production look calm, composed, and smooth. Not because nothing goes wrong: creators go quiet, lighting fails, briefs get read three different ways. It looks smooth because they saw most of it coming. We aren't looking for a "project coordinator" who passes messages along. We're looking for a Producer who originates the idea, leads a shoot with the next three steps already mapped, and when something does slip through, has a solution ready before anyone has to ask for one.

### 🌐 Work Mode

Shook Digital is remote-first. This role is open to candidates with significant overlap with Central European Time (CET). We value deep focus and async work, but production is a live sport — and it's also a team sport. You need to be responsive during core hours to keep the gears turning, and genuinely engaged with the people turning them alongside you.

### 🤳🏻 What you'll do

Own the Machine: Manage the end-to-end production workflow. You are responsible for the balance between creative "taste" and 20-day delivery speed.

Concept & Script Ownership: Develop the creative concept and script yourself before a single frame is shot. This is the highest-leverage part of any production, and it starts with you.

AI-Augmented Workflow: We run an AI-automated production platform and use tools like ElevenLabs for voiceover. You're comfortable working within AI-assisted systems and see them as a way to move faster — not a threat to the craft.

Creator Partnership: Source and "ghost-proof" our creator network. You don't just hire them; you build relationships that ensure they follow the brief and hit the deadline.

The Feedback Loop: Review raw footage with a TikTok-native eye. If a hook is weak or the energy is off, you provide the firm, direct feedback needed to fix it.

Systems Thinking: Help us refine our modular ad structures. You'll organize hooks, bodies, and CTAs so they can be tested and iterated on at scale.

### 📹 What we're looking for

Craft Ownership: You have real hands-on scriptwriting and concept-development experience — this isn't something you're hoping to pick up on the job.

Operational Ownership: You find "messy" workflows painful. You are the person who creates the spreadsheet that saves the project.

TikTok Fluency: You understand the platform's DNA. You know why a native-feeling "CapCut" edit outperforms a polished studio commercial.

High Agency: You are comfortable with ambiguity. If a creator drops out on Day 12, you don't wait for permission. You've already sourced a backup.

Direct Communication: You can give critical feedback to creators without sugar-coating it, while maintaining a great working relationship.
