Producers are at the heart of Phantom. Shapeshifters in the truest sense, our Producer team have ownership over their wide array of projects from beginning to end, and work in close direct collaboration with our incredible team and clients. We’re on the hunt for multi-talented Interactive Producers with a penchant for digital experiences, who love bringing boundary-pushing projects to life.  Who we are

Phantom is a digitally-led creative agency, headquartered in London, where two things are valued above all else: curiosity and craft. 

Started by four people in 2013, we’ve grown into a company 100+ Phantoms strong, with locations spanning across two hemispheres (our other studio in Auckland). Our clients choose us because of the collaboration, innovation and creativity we all bring to each project. We choose our clients because they’re brands we love to work with, who in turn inspire us to make work we love.

We work on everything from large scale ad campaigns to creating digital experience and developing long lasting products. If you’re somebody who enjoys a new challenge each day and are looking to create the best work of your career, Phantom is your place.

Who you are

You are communicative and approachable for both our teams and our clients.

You’ll ensure Phantom continues making high-quality, highly creative and technical work. You are knowledgeable, responsive and bring out the best in those around you. You think big and always know when to look at the smaller details. 

Why we need you

They help us deliver work on time and within budget, ensuring we always have the up to date project data on their jobs and contributing to the casting discussions.We have a team of exceptionally talented producers who can turn their hand to a wide range of project types. As we have continued to shapeshift, our work evolves to include a huge variety of projects including everything from creative approaches to digital storytelling, right through to exploring and pioneering new technologies.
