Creative Producer & Director

Come be a digital + video hero with GoodChat

Thanks for taking the time! We can't wait to get to know you.

First, a little about us...

GoodChat make the best cause-based videos in Australia. Some people measure the success of a video in likes or views. And we have plenty that have hit the magic million mark or gone viral. But we’re more interested in an emotional reaction. Does it make your heart skip a beat? Give you goosebumps? Create a lump in your throat? Blow your mind?

We know when you feel, you’re more likely to take action. We don’t stop until we have found the beating heart of the story that inspires change. Be that sign a petition, join a movement, donate to a cause or to double-check a can of tuna before you buy it. Change starts with the heart, the head will follow.

Since 2015 we have worked on over 1000 social change campaigns, from anti-bullying drives to fundraisers for plant DNA research, from climate action petitions to election ads. (Check out those and others at goodchat.tv)

GoodChat is on the hunt for someone who can wear many hats...

...and wear them well.

Specifically, an organised, story-smart producer who can organise creatives, manage clients and deliver high quality videos, fast and cost-effectively.

You'll be helping to bring in great work, shape real stories, manage shoots and animations, feed into original concepts, and work with brilliant, purpose-driven clients.

Variety is the spice of life!

GoodChat is a boutique production company, so you'll be doing a bit of everything.

Hat 1: Organise

Independence, & the opportunity to grow & learn from the best

This position is full time so that we can be responsive on projects and client management.

This would be a 6-month contract with the likely option of extending or becoming permanent. The salary is commensurate with experience,
but is in the realm of $110-120k.

Ideally you'll work at least 3 days from the office, and be available to be on shoots (with some occasional travel).

We are flexible around your life but also are looking for flexibility from you: we might need you longer on a shoot day or deadline (and can swap hours from another day, or pay overtime – let's see what works best).

We also offer a self-education budget to help you master that thing you want to improve on (as long as it's job relevant – you'll have to pay for your own macramé classes!)

What kind of videos does GoodChat make?

Real Stories

These are short documentaries, or bespoke branded content, using real people. They are our premium, high-end video option. More and more orgs are realising just how impactful – and essential – videos are for their causes, and are now breaking away from risk-less, bone-dry stereotypes of yore. Orgs are now investing in filmmakers, prioritising creative ingenuity, and trusting creators to tell their stories – and that's when incredible videos emerge.

FIFA Women's World Cup | Lisa's Story

Then, Now & Always | A masthead video for Public Education Foundation

Broken Hill | A series for The Climate Council

Scripted Stories

Are perfect for big visions with endless creative potential. We can bring ideas to life with actors, recreations or narration and say anything, any way.

Invasion Day | A First-Nations led comedy for GetUp!

Climate Council | A Launch Event for their Seize the Decade Plan

Solar Citizens | A launch video for The Solar Citizens

Animations

Animations can elevate a video from ho-hum to wo-ah. Our bespoke animations simplify complex ideas in a memorable and highly shareable way.
They can pack a strong emotional punch, or bring to life key messages in fresh ways. With total conceptual freedom, animations can bring big dreams to the screen on a budget. Animations are ideal for a campaign launch, website refresh or communicating a new idea.

No 2nd Place | Character animation on Safeguarding at the Pacific Games

Greenpeace | A multimedia animation to Re-Energise Australia

Action Aid | Animation to Campaign for Worker's Rights

A one-pager or folio of your proudest work moments,
and your role on them

+ the story behind your favourite piece of work: What was the brief, how did you respond, and what was the result? Show us anything, but we especially want to see clever, creative, strategic ideas.
A video would be really good, but it could also be an ad, an article, a story.
