Full job description

Film Production Project Manager

A bridge role that translates scripts and production needs into organized plans, aligned crews, and seamless on-set playback execution.

The Opportunity
We’re looking to build ongoing relationships with exceptional set-facing project managers who can represent Scarab’s screen playback commitment on active film and television productions.

This role represents Scarab’s interest as it pertains to Scarab bid work such as Playback while being production/client facing. The opportunity is to become one of the people we trust to recommend repeatedly when a show comes in.

For the right person, this becomes a repeat working relationship across productions, not a one-off call. We already work with a small number of people in this capacity, and when someone proves reliable, clear, and strong under pressure, they tend to stay in rotation.

You’ll likely be a strong fit if you’re comfortable planning across moving targets, communicating clearly between production and technical teams, and thinking ahead before problems reach set.

What This Role Really Is
This role is the information and execution bridge between production, the creative graphics team, rentals, and the on-set screen crew.

It is not just dealing with technical issues on the day. It is staying ahead of the work: interpreting scripts and revisions, planning labour and equipment, staffing the right people, maintaining communication, creating and protecting budgets, and making sure graphics, gear, and crew are aligned to what production actually needs.

You need enough technical fluency to ask the right questions and anticipate failure points, but your real value is judgment, organization, communication, and follow-through. When this role is done well, the work runs cleanly because the problems were solved before they showed up.

What You’ll Do

Break down scripts and revisions to identify all playback-related needs across scenes, sets, devices, and deliverables
Create and maintain annotated breakdowns, budgets, schedules, and tracking documents as production evolves

• Attend concept, playback, production, art, VFX, and technical meetings to stay ahead of requirements • Represent Scarab interests during tech survey’s discussions

Communicate changes quickly and clearly to the relevant on-set crew, creative team, and rentals team
Plan labour, equipment, and support needs for each episode, unit, or production phase
Help determine the right crew size and recommend the right people based on complexity, pace, and technical needs
Coordinate equipment prep, pickups, returns, sub-rentals, transport, and location or stage readiness
Confirm that approved graphics packages, devices, and playback files match expected on-set needs before shoot days
Walk the team through scene-related playback expectations and keep communication current as schedules and priorities shift
Support approvals and review flow with directors, producers, showrunners, and other stakeholders
Track feedback, flag risks, and keep budgets and plans current as scripts and production realities change

• Maintain a high quality bar while protecting schedule, budget, communication flow, and crew safety • Understand equipment and on-set work flow and jump in to help with troubleshooting or requested adjustments.

You’ll Do Your Best Work Here If

Think several steps ahead and organize moving parts before they become problems
Communicate precisely, calmly, even when the day changes fast
Can bridge creative language, production language, and technical reality without losing clarity
Take ownership of outcomes rather than waiting to be told what needs attention
Know how to keep a team aligned without micromanaging
Care about professionalism, preparedness, and protecting trust show after show
Are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and adjusting as things evolve

This Role is Probably NOT A Fit If

You prefer working within clearly defined plans rather than building them
You avoid direct communication when information is unclear or changing
You tend to stay reactive instead of planning ahead
You prefer focusing on a single task rather than coordinating across multiple moving parts

Core Requirements

4–7 years of relevant production, coordination, project management, or set-support experience, ideally in film, television, live audio-visual events, playback, or adjacent screen-based environments
Excellent organization, planning, tracking, and communication skills
Strong budgeting instincts and comfort managing labour, equipment, and schedule variables
Natural affinity to lead, direct, and support crews while maintaining clarity and accountability
Strong working understanding of computers, network basics, video playback systems, video hardware/software, and common on-set and/ or computer/ network failure points
Outstanding time management, prioritization, and attention to detail
Comfort working long production hours and adapting quickly under pressure
Commitment to safety, professionalism, and respectful collaboration
Eligibility to work in Canada and ability to meet any required union or production onboarding standards

Strong Assets

Direct on-set playback, video-computer, media-server, or screen graphics coordination experience
Experience using Scriptation or similar tools for script revision tracking
A/V, broadcast, rentals, or live systems background
Prior leadership of small technical crews or set-facing teams
Ability to train or onboard crew on new systems and workflows

How this Relationship Works
Essentially we maintain a trusted circle of people we recommend to production to represent Scarab interest.

We’re not looking for people who simply fill the role. We’re looking for people who make the entire system stronger, people production wants back, crews want to work with, and creative teams trust with important details. This posting represents real work that is currently available. Individuals who coordinate for Scarab have been doing so consistently and exclusively for many years. We are looking to add a few more individuals to that team.

Application Process
We use experience review plus a focused written screen to understand how you think, communicate, and plan. Selected applicants may be invited to participate in a CliftonStrengths Assessment as well as an interview process.

The goal is to assess real readiness without wasting your time or creating a sense of false hope.

Final Note
This role matters because clear information and strong planning are what keep production moving. When that breaks down, everything slows down.

We’re looking for someone who can keep the machine running clearly, responsibly, and with strong judgment from prep through execution.
