Freelance Creative Operations — DACH
À distance ✓ENLocation: Remote (with CET time zone overlap) Type: Freelance · Project-based (with potential to expand to multiple projects) ABOUT SHOOK DIGITAL At Shook Digital, we're building the production engine for the next generation of advertisers. High-performing UGC is no longer a "nice-to-have." It is the core of the modern ad stack. We help brands scale their TikTok presence by turning creative chaos into high-performing systems. Founded in the era of short-form video, Shook has become the partner of choice for brands that need to move fast without losing creative quality. What unites our team is a relentless focus on learning speed, operational rigor, and a deep understanding of why people stop scrolling. Our goal is to make Shook Digital the global standard for UGC. We want to build a system so efficient that "20-day delivery" feels like a law of nature, not a challenge. This role is central to that momentum, leading productions for our growing DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) client base. THE ROLE We're looking for someone to own the production machine — starting from the blank page. This isn't about "watching videos" or shepherding someone else's idea through a pipeline. It's about developing the concept and script yourself, then managing the complex lifecycle of talent, deadlines, and technical constraints that turns that idea into a high-performing asset, every single time. The best producers make production look calm, composed, and smooth. Not because nothing goes wrong: creators go quiet, lighting fails, briefs get read three different ways. It looks smooth because they saw most of it coming. We aren't looking for a "project coordinator" who passes messages along. We're looking for a Producer who originates the idea, leads a shoot with the next three steps already mapped, and when something does slip through, has a solution ready before anyone has to ask for one. WORK MODE Shook Digital is remote-first. This role is open to candidates with significant overlap with Central European Time (CET). We value deep focus and async work, but production is a live sport — and it's also a team sport. You need to be responsive during core hours to keep the gears turning, and genuinely engaged with the people turning them alongside you. WHAT YOU'LL DO: • Own the Machine: Manage the end-to-end production workflow. You are responsible for the balance between creative "taste" and 20-day delivery speed. • Concept & Script Ownership: Develop the creative concept and script yourself before a single frame is shot. This is the highest-leverage part of any production, and it starts with you. • AI-Augmented Workflow: We run an AI-automated production platform and use tools like ElevenLabs for voiceover. You're comfortable working within AI-assisted systems and see them as a way to move faster — not a threat to the craft. • Creator Partnership: Source and "ghost-proof" our creator network. You don't just hire them; you build relationships that ensure they follow the brief and hit the deadline. • The Feedback Loop: Review raw footage with a TikTok-native eye. If a hook is weak or the energy is off, you provide the firm, direct feedback needed to fix it. • Systems Thinking: Help us refine our modular ad structures. You'll organize hooks, bodies, and CTAs so they can be tested and iterated on at scale. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Language: Native or native-level German (C1/C2) — you'll be leading briefs, feedback, and creator relationships for our German-speaking client base, so this is non-negotiable. • Craft Ownership: You have real hands-on scriptwriting and concept-development experience — this isn't something you're hoping to pick up on the job. • Operational Ownership: You find "messy" workflows painful. You are the person who creates the spreadsheet that saves the project. • TikTok Fluency: You understand the platform's DNA. You know why a native-feeling "CapCut" edit outperforms a polished studio commercial. • High Agency: You are comfortable with ambiguity. If a creator drops out on Day 12, you don't wait for permission. You've already sourced a backup. • Direct Communication: You can give critical feedback to creators without sugar-coating it, while maintaining a great working relationship. • Taste: You know what "good" looks like. You can spot a high-retention hook in the first 2 seconds of raw footage. • Collaborative by Nature: You build real working relationships with your team, not just transactional handoffs — this is a genuinely tight-knit group, and we want it to stay that way. • Resilience: You don't take it personally when a creator fails to deliver. You see a ghosting creator as a data point to be managed, not a personal crisis. You stay calm when the timeline gets tight. WHAT WE OFFER • Interesting Challenges: Work on global campaigns for leading brands. • A paid onboarding …
