Producer (Contract) – Vertical Series Production (New York)

DramaBox NY is seeking Producers and production professionals to support a high-volume slate of vertical drama series for a rapidly growing global audience.

This role is hands-on across the full production lifecycle, from development through delivery, working closely with directors, production partners (including Mandarin-speaking teams), and internal stakeholders to keep multiple productions moving efficiently.

This is a contract-based role designed for individuals who thrive in fast-paced production environments and enjoy working across multiple projects. Many of our strongest producers begin working with DramaBox on a contract basis before transitioning into full-time internal producer roles after demonstrating strong performance on one or more productions.

• Experience producing vertical-format scripted series or mobile-first episodic content designed for vertical viewing is a plus, but not required.

Additional Requirement
