Producer III

About the Role

The Production Specialist III serves as the creative and technical backbone of Missouri City's public communication efforts. In this role, you will coordinate television and audiovisual production for the City's government access channel (MCTV), website, and social media outlets. Your primary mission is to build, promote, and maintain a positive image for the City through effective public relations, media coverage, and compelling storytelling.

Reporting directly to the Senior Producer/Communications Manager, you will act as a bridge between City departments and the public. You will collaborate with staff to ensure pertinent events and activities are covered, producing educational, training, and safety videos that serve the community's needs. This position requires a blend of technical expertise and creative vision to manage complex video projects from concept to final broadcast.

Day in the Life

Your work will span both studio and field environments. You will plan and facilitate production activities, interacting with clients and City staff to gather requirements and coordinate logistics. A typical day might involve setting up and operating video and audio equipment, directing shoots, and performing on-camera or voice-over work for City productions.

Post-production is a significant component of the role, where you will review footage, make editorial decisions, and apply color correction and special effects. You will also manage the technical side of live broadcasts for City Council meetings and work sessions, operating control room equipment and switching cameras in real-time. Additionally, you will maintain the City's digital presence by scheduling automated playback, promoting content on social media, and ensuring all submissions adhere to government access channel policies.
