Full Job Description

Director of Production / Art Director

Company: Bing Bang

Location: Urbandale, Iowa (in-office)

Job Type: Full-Time

Pay: $65,000–$80,000 per year

Department: Creative / Production

About the Role

We Don't Need Another Set of Hands. We Need a Set of Standards.

Bing Bang's production team is fast, scrappy, and hungry. What we need is someone who's already been where we're going. Someone who's built the pipelines, called the shots, killed the bad ideas early, and shipped work that made rooms go quiet in the best way. That's this role.

You won't be running the camera or cutting the reel. You'll be running the team that does. Video, graphic design, social content, all of it. That said, this isn't a role that hides behind a laptop and a Slack channel. When the vision needs to be shown, not just described, you can sit down at the workstation and mock it up yourself. Sometimes the fastest way to move a team forward is to pull the pen out and draw the line yourself.

We're looking for a leader with the taste of an Art Director and the discipline of a Production Director. Someone who can look at a shot list, a storyboard, a design comp, a social carousel, an edit, and a final grade, and know exactly what's missing before anyone else does. Someone who's calm when it's loud and direct when it matters.

If that sounds like you, and you're ready to plant your flag in Iowa and lead a team that's built to punch way above its weight, let's talk.

Our Core Focus

Bing Bang exists to impact and move people. We create solutions and share stories that deliver results.

Our Core Values (These Aren't Just on a Poster)

Fearless. We chase the bold idea, not the comfortable one.

Relentless. Good enough isn't in our vocabulary.

Authentic. We show up as ourselves, and we help our clients do the same.

Humble. Egos don't build great work. People do.

Love What You Do. If it feels like a grind every day, we're doing it wrong.

What You'll Own

Production Quality Standards

Define what “Bing Bang quality” looks like across video, graphic design, and social content, then defend it. From concept through final delivery, you set the bar, and nothing goes out the door until it clears it.

Production Capacity Management

Know what the team can handle, when, and at what quality. Balance workloads, protect against burnout, and make sure the right talent is on the right project at the right time.

Production Team Leadership

Build, coach, and grow a production team that's respected inside and outside the agency. You're the person your team learns the most from, and the one they trust to have their back.

Creative Execution Excellence

Make sure the strategy on the page becomes work worth remembering. Art direction, visual consistency, and creative judgment across every video, every design, and every social post the production team touches.

Team Leadership & Accountability

Lead your department the way great leaders do: clear expectations, honest feedback, real accountability. Run your L10s, coach your people, and keep the department pulling in the same direction.

What You Bring

Proven leadership experience in a production, creative, or agency environment, with a track record of building and running a team
Art direction chops: strong visual instincts, taste, and the ability to critique work at every stage of production
Deep understanding of the full production pipeline across mediums: video (pre-pro, shoot days, post, color, sound, delivery), graphic design (concept through final asset), and social content (platform-native creative built to perform)
Fluency in the tools your team uses (Adobe Creative Suite, camera systems, color and audio workflows, social platforms) even if you're not the one operating them
Ability to give clear, direct feedback that raises the work without crushing the person
Comfort managing capacity, scope, and timelines across multiple projects at once
Willingness to hold the line on quality, even when it's the harder call

Portfolio and reel required. Show us the work you've led, art directed, or produced.

Bonus points for:

Experience running production inside a creative agency
Background across multiple disciplines: commercial and branded video, graphic design, and social-first content
EOS experience (or a real appetite to learn it, since we run on it)
A network of freelance talent (video, design, social) you can tap when we need to scale up fast

Benefits

Bing Bang offers a competitive benefits package, including health insurance and a retirement plan — plus a team and environment built to help you do the best work of your career.

How to Apply

Apply directly through Indeed with your resume. For creative and production roles, include a link to your portfolio and/or reel — applications without work samples may not be considered.

Pay: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Health insurance
Paid time off
Retirement plan
