Vice President, Creative Development & Strategy - Participant Productions - Los Angeles, CA

Authored by dmw on July 2, 2007 - 5:20pm.
Want to work for the good guys in the movie business? Participant Productions, (www.participantproductions.com and www.participate.net) the social action production company which produced "An Inconvenient Truth," "Syriana," "Good Night, and Good Luck," and 2007 releases "The Kite Runner," based on the best-selling book, as well as "Charlie Wilson's War," starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, is looking for exceptional employees to join our digital team. Good movies, great messages, even better people.

Ever spent hours watching video after video of candy making soda explode or clicking through endless user profiles and wonder if online and/or user content isn’t living up to its full potential?  As we build out our social action network, we need someone committed to bringing Participant’s unique brand of socially compelling media to the web and mobile.  In addition to supporting our films, we need someone to work with cutting edge content creators and social action producers to create the next wave of viral media to take the web by storm (shorts, episodics, mobile, long form, games).  Our new VP will both innovate and execute our new site’s design to be clean, intuitive, and rewarding for the user.  While other web promotions and sites come and go, we need someone who has the vision to creatively develop a site that will have year-round connection to our growing community.
 

Very out of box type. Followers and status quo fans need not apply.


Think brazen creative genius-type (like Schematic’s Dale Herigstad) meets viral distribution/production supervision (mash-up of Hurley, Zuckerberg, Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine).



The position is a ground floor opportunity with our new, fully budgeted 'social action network' to team with senior management, content creators, and talent across media, social action and technology industries.  Ideal candidate will have strong experience in digital media user experience, interface and content/community development. Candidate will handle original production, content programming and cross-platform online viral strategies.
