About Smashed Agency
Smashed is a creative-first performance marketing agency based in Ahmedabad. We help e-commerce and SaaS brands scale revenue through high-converting UGC video ads, managing the full pipeline from creative strategy to production to paid media optimization. We work with brands like Frido, Phool, Ambrane, Canva India, WintWealth, Dhan, Oudarabia, and 100 more.
Role Overview
We need someone who can own two things: our creator network and our production pipeline. You'll manage relationships with our 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.
Key Responsibilities
1. Creator Management & Operations
- Source, identify, and onboard new UGC creators and influencers across niches relevant to our client portfolio
- Build and maintain a well-organized creator database with profiles, rates, content styles, availability, and past performance
- Manage day-to-day communication with creators - briefings, follow-ups, feedback loops, and payment coordination
- Negotiate creator pricing and contracts to ensure competitive rates without compromising quality
- Coordinate with creators on shoot schedules, deliverables, scripts, and deadlines
2. Production Planning & Execution
- Own planning for all video shoots schedules, locations, timelines, and logistics
- Ensure all pre-production requirements are in place before shoot day props, wardrobe, products, equipment, and location access
- Arrange and procure props or products required for shoots in coordination with the client and internal team
- Be physically present on shoot days to assist the videographer and ensure everything runs as per the brief and scripts.
- Coordinate on-set logistics - talent arrival, scene setup, shot list execution, and real-time problem-solving
- Ensure the final footage captured matches the approved creative brief and scripts flag any gaps on the spot
- Organize, label, and upload all raw footage to correct project folders after shoot completion
3. Brand Coordination
- Share creator profiles and options with brand partners for upcoming shoots and campaigns
- Coordinate between our team and creators on shoot logistics locations, timelines, deliverables, and creative direction
- Ensure smooth communication flow between the production team, creators, and clients
- Assist with talent briefings and ensure creators understand brand guidelines and campaign objectives before every shoot
4. Content & File Management
- Organize, sort, and catalog raw video files and content received from production teams and creators
- Maintain systematic file structures with proper naming conventions for easy retrieval
- Perform quality checks on incoming raw footage before handoff to editors
- Convert files to required formats and ensure regular backups of all content assets
5. Agency Social Media Content (When Bandwidth Allows)
This is not a primary responsibility expected only when workload on core duties permits.

- Shoot behind-the-scenes content during production days or at the office
- Write captions and develop content ideas that showcase agency culture
- Stay updated with social media trends and implement them creatively when the opportunity arises
Who You Are
- At least 6 months to a 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
- Strong communicator who can negotiate with creators and coordinate with brand teams
- Detail-oriented you don't let files, deadlines, or follow-ups slip through the cracks
