About Smashed:

Smashed is a creative-first performance marketing agency based in Ahmedabad.

We work with brands like Frido, Phool, Ambrane, Oudarabia, Sahi, Dhan, Canva India, WintWealth, Dhan, and more.

The Role

We need someone who can own two things: our creator network and our production pipeline.

You'll manage relationships with UGC creators sourcing new ones, negotiating rates, coordinating briefs and deliverables. And you'll own shoot production from planning to execution logistics, props, being on-set, making sure the footage matches the creative brief.

This is a hands-on role. Some days you're on calls negotiating with creators. Other days you're on set making sure a shoot runs smoothly. If you like variety, thrive in fast-paced environments, and are naturally organized, this is built for you.

Production Planning & Execution:

Be present on shoot days to assist the videographer and ensure everything runs as per brief

Make sure footage captured matches approved scripts and creative direction

Organize and upload raw footage to project folders within 48 hours of shoot

Brand Coordination:

Share creator options with clients for upcoming campaigns

Ensure creators understand brand guidelines and campaign objectives before every shoot

Keep communication flowing smoothly between production team, creators, and clients

Content & File Management

Sort, catalog, and quality-check raw video content before editor handoff

Maintain systematic file structures with proper naming conventions and backups

Who You Are

0-1 year of experience in production coordination, influencer marketing, creator management, or a similar role (internship or freelance experience counts)

You've coordinated with multiple people at once creators, vendors, teams and kept things organized

Comfortable being on set and managing shoot logistics hands-on
