The brand: offering young Aussies a way out
Pearler is the Australian finance app for the next generation. We’ve built an obsessed community of 100k+ active users by offering a trusted, education-focused alternative to the old school, traditional incumbent financial services.
We’ve done all this on the strength of our product, and honesty in our approach. It’s helped us form partnerships with some of Australia’s best financial creator talent, who use and love Pearler, and build two of Australia’s top finance podcasts, the Get Rich Slow Club and Aussie FIRE.
We have just taken the leap from start-up to scale-up. Our next phase is simple: make Pearler a household name by going big, taking risks and having even more fun.
The opportunity
We are looking for a Producer to help build and run our in-house creative engine. You will be the producer for all the creative work we do at Pearler, in all its facets: paid ads, podcasts, socials, in-house shoots, UGC and creator collabs, and brand activations. You will take our strategic advantage (our challenger voice, trusted educational content and existing podcasts and partnerships) and transform it into a high-velocity performance marketing machine that drives our goal of 200k new customers by 2027.
The mission
Make ideas happen. You are the machine around the creative team: own production logistics end to end, across ads, pods and socials, so the Creative squad ships more great work, more often, and good ideas don’t die a thousand cuts on their way to the world. Protect quality while increasing velocity. Own shoot and editing deadlines. Convert performance insights into the next sprint’s plan.
What you will build and lead
- Build the in-house agency: You will help build the in-house agency, working closely with the Creative Director. You are moving us away from reliance on freelancers to a cohesive internal unit. You aren’t just making brand ads. You are building a system to concept, produce, test and iterate high-volume video and static assets for paid social ads. Your team will work hand-in-glove with the Performance team to analyse what is working and what is next.
- Raise the bar, don’t just hit the deadline: You buy into the ambition, for the brand and for the craft, and you push every piece of work to be amazing, not just on time. When quality and velocity are in tension, you’re the one finding a way to get both.
- Produce our podcasts: You will oversee production of our shows, including the Get Rich Slow Club: scheduling recordings, liaising with hosts and guests, helping shape outlines and show notes, and making sure every episode ships on time and gets repurposed into short-form content for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok.
- Bring activations and stunts to life: When we run brand activations and stunts, you’ll work out the logistics (the filming, the crew, the run sheet) and make sure we capture the advertising output that makes the moment travel.
- Manage talent, creators and contractors: We do a lot of UGC and creator work. You will own those relationships day-to-day, working out the production flow and logistics of who we’re booking and briefing, and when. You’ll also manage our external production contractors and partners, keeping them briefed, on budget and on deadline.
- Manage our recording space: We have an in-office podcast and filming space. You will be a critical figure in further evolving this, driving shoots and managing production with the internal team and external partners.
- Content remixing: You will take our massive library of organic content (podcasts, influencer collabs) and help your team remix and edit it into high-performing ad creative. You can spot a good hook and know which moments will perform on socials.
- Keep all the trains on track: You’ll manage everything moving through the creative pipeline, concepting through pre-pro, shoot and post.
Who you are
- A seasoned producer: A systems thinker and calm operator who loves being organised and making great work. 5+ years producing video across concepting, pre-pro, shoot and post for high-velocity social. Confident running multi-track calendars and many small bets each week.
- Speaks agency, lives in-house: You have agency-grade production discipline, but you don’t need the agency machine around you to deliver. You understand how in-house is different (closer to the data, closer to the product, faster loops) and you like it that way.
- A sharp prioritiser: You know every yes costs a no. You make smart calls on what to make in-house vs with freelancers, which small bets are worth the squad’s time, and where a dollar or a day is best spent.
- A relationship builder: You know how to manage talent, creators and contractors, keeping people briefed, happy and delivering. You communicate clearly and people like working with you.
- Data-curious: You don’t shy away from numbers. You monitor performance (views, engagement, downloads) to know why something worked, and you use that data to brief your team on the next iteration.
- A player-coach: You are ready to hire and mentor a team, but you are also willing to roll up your sleeves on set, in the edit, or wherever the work needs a push.
- Proactive and detail-oriented: A lot of your week is self-directed. You take initiative, spot problems before they become fires, and strive for excellence in every piece of content.
Big bonus: an interest in personal finance.
