Overview

Part-Time, 6-month contract to hire

Bold is on a mission to close the gap between healthspan and lifespan for older adults - we're changing the narrative around aging and helping people live healthier, longer lives.

We're at an exciting inflection point in our content strategy. We're moving fast, running experiments, and iterating based on what our members tell us works. 

We need someone to own production operations so our product and content teams can focus on what to test, while you focus on making it happen.

This isn't a traditional production role. We're not making one perfect piece of content - we're running experiments, testing hypotheses, and learning quickly. Some things won't work, and that's okay. Your job is to build systems that let us test 2x more ideas in half the time.

Success looks like: Reducing production lead times from 8 weeks to 4 weeks, enabling twice as many content experiments per quarter, and freeing up our team to focus on strategy instead of logistics.

What You'll Own

Production Operations (End-to-End)

• Coordinate all aspects of content production from initial planning, on-site shoot management and quality control, post-shoot organization
• Build and optimize production workflows that support rapid iteration
• Manage production schedules, talent, budgets, and inventory
• Own and manage relationships with production team and talent

Enabling Experimentation

• Ensure production processes align with experiment objectives and success metrics
• Work closely with product and content teams to understand what we're testing and why
• Make smart tradeoffs between quality and velocity - we need "good enough to learn from" fast
• Flag production bottlenecks and proactively suggest solutions

Practical Execution

• Manage talent – scheduling, logistics, rehearsal, and on-set preparation
• Coordinate with post-production to ensure consistent quality and on-time delivery
• Track production budgets and find efficiencies without sacrificing brand standards
• Handle the operational chaos so our team doesn't have to

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves:

• 3-5 years of hands-on video production management experience - you've managed shoots from pre-production through post-delivery
• Self-sufficient operator - you can take a brief and run with it. You figure things out, don't wait for permission, and make smart decisions autonomously
• Startup mentality - comfortable with ambiguity, building systems from scratch with limited resources, and things changing fast. You get energized by "figuring it out," not stressed by it
• Speed orientation - you understand the difference between making one perfect thing and testing ten good-enough things. You know how to move fast without everything falling apart
• Operational excellence and detail orientation - strong organizational and project management skills. You track details, meet deadlines, and keep multiple balls in the air without dropping them

Clear, proactive communicator - you keep people informed, flag issues early, and can translate production complexity into simple updates for the team

Nice to Have

• Background or passion for fitness/wellness - you don't need to be a trainer, but if you genuinely care about helping older adults live healthier lives or have experience in the fitness space, you'll connect more deeply with our mission and content
• Post-production direction experience - you can give clear, actionable feedback to editors and know how to guide the edit toward the final vision without doing it yourself. You understand pacing, storytelling, and what makes content engaging
• Media asset management expertise - you've built systems for organizing, archiving, and retrieving content. You know how to set up folder structures, naming conventions, and workflows that make it easy to find that one B-roll clip from three months ago

What Makes You Great for This Role:

• You get excited about solving operational puzzles
• You're pragmatic about tradeoffs and comfortable with "good enough for now"
• You can juggle vendor negotiations, talent logistics, and budget tracking without breaking a sweat
• You see a broken process and immediately think "I can fix this"
