FREELANCE Production Coordinator

FREELANCE Production Coordinator Day One Agency—Campaign Magazine’s Agency of the Year and PRovoke Media’s Creative Agency of the Year—is hiring! We’re looking for a Freelance Production Coordinator to join our nimble and culture-obsessed team. You’re a multitasker, a master of logistics, and a creative problem solver who thrives behind the scenes but keeps the whole show moving. You’re someone who can pivot fast, juggle details with precision, and bring both structure and flexibility to every project. The right candidate will be ambitious, hard-working, and dedicated to bringing great work to life. We’re looking for self-starters with excellent organizational skills who can work collaboratively. In return, you’ll be in a rewarding learning environment with the opportunity to grow and further your career. We offer a highly collaborative environment where smart and hyper-passionate people come together to solve creative challenges. We emphasize and value all of our relationships—our colleagues, clients, and partners are the most important part of our business. So if you want to join a fast-growing, award-winning creative team, we’d love to hear from you. At Day One, we craft ideas that earn attention—and that means your role is mission-critical in helping campaigns come to life. You’ll collaborate closely with our production and creative teams, manage vendor and crew logistics, and ensure shoots run smoother than your favorite iced coffee. This is a freelance role with project-based hours, working hybrid on-site three days a week in LA. For the right candidate, there may be an opportunity to transition into a full-time position.
