Digital & Website Producer (Project Manager) - Entertainment & Youth Brands

Trigger is a digital agency specializing in interactive entertainment and youth brand marketing.  We make immersive marketing-driven websites, Flash/3d games, original animations and social networking applications.

 

WHY JOIN TRIGGER?

 

Some of the brands and clients in our arsenal include Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Fox Theatrical, Nike, Paramount Pictures, Kyocera Wireless, Ghost House Pictures and more.  Our recent work includes official movie sites for “The X-Files” movie sequel, “Spider-Man 3,” “Hitman,” “21” and “CJ7.” This summer we’re proud to be a part of blockbuster releases for Sony, Universal and Fox, and will work on no fewer than four superhero movies in 2008 alone. Five if you count Adam Sandler’s “Zohan.” Six if you count super-charged assassin Angelina Jolie in “Wanted.”

We're looking for a hyper-organized, friendly and enthusiastic person to join us. We promise that you'll experience some terrific brands as well, and you will never, ever get bored. Because Trigger also has an office in Shanghai, China, you’ll get valuable experience working with the some of the best talent in the emerging dragon that is China. We’ve built a company that’s here to last, and we want people who are looking for a place to belong to and put down a few roots.  

 

WHERE YOU FIT IN

 

As a Web Producer at Trigger, you’ll manage five to six projects concurrently from inception to delivery. You’ll be a part of brainstorms, and help craft the scope and pricing for each project. Once projects are kicked off, you alone are in the driver’s seat, leading the team as the sole point of contact for our clients.

 

That should either excite you or scare you.

 

Experience with web development methodology is required. In a typical day, you’ll be talking to clients, updating calendars, pricing projects, writing detailed tasks for your team, scribbling bits of creative copy, and in general doing one of the hundreds of things good Producers do to keep their projects moving forward on time and on budget.

 

Our projects are the best in the industry, and as such are typically complex. You’ll need to have a good memory, a mind that can quickly categorize and compartmentalize complex tasks, a hand that takes amazing notes, and an eye for details. If you aren’t sure if you have these traits, you probably shouldn’t apply.

There will also be some loud music, superhero movies, barking, orange paint and a few scary movies.
