Job description
ABOUT
NewForm is the creative intelligence company. We help category disruptors like Kalshi, ElevenLabs, Babbel, and others scale paid ads by turning creative into a measurable, repeatable growth system.
We oversee $100M+ per year in paid media spend and create thousands of human ads each month, with each ad making our system smarter.
THE ROLE
This is the entry point into NewForm's production team — a hands-on job for someone who wants real production experience and to develop quickly. You'll get on-set reps leading simple shoots yourself, support bigger productions, and maintain the studio space that our creators run through every day. This is a direct pathway into more senior production roles at NewForm and we want candidates with the ambition to grow.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead simple, lower-stakes shoots start to finish — lo-fi and phone-first UGC content
- Assist on larger shoots: help set up camera, lighting, and audio equipment, and keep things moving on set
- Run studio and office operations — stocked, organized, camera-ready and welcoming for the creators coming through
- Support shoot scheduling, logistics, and prep
- Help source props, wardrobe, and production materials
- Organize footage and assets after a shoot wraps
- Be proactive about solving whatever comes up on set
REQUIREMENTS
- Strong interest in content production, filmmaking, or social/creative marketing
- Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
- Willing to learn on set and pitch in wherever needed — including the day-to-day upkeep of our space
- Familiarity with cameras, lighting, audio equipment, or editing tools a plus, not required
- Previous internship, freelance, or student film experience a plus, not required
BENEFITS
- Full-time, in-office position based in NYC
- Competitive compensation ($48K–$58K/year)
- A clear path toward Associate Producer based on performance
- Company-paid health, dental, and vision
- $300/month commuter benefit
- Annual team offsites (our last two were Tulum, Mexico and Hokkaido, Japan)
Why work at Newform

- Work Mode: Hybrid. HQ in New York City (NOMAD studio), with remote roles available. Some positions require on-site presence in NYC.
- Engineering Culture: Small but growing engineering team (3 engineers currently, ~7% of workforce). Engineers work on Framework, WillBot, and the creative ontology — high-impact, data-intensive problems.
- Growth Trajectory: 100% headcount growth YoY; company is still early-stage (founded 2023) but scaling fast — opportunity for early employees to shape the direction.
- Perks: Not explicitly listed, but the company offers a referral bonus ($5k) and operates a cutting-edge studio environment. Note: Glassdoor-style reviews on LinkedIn rate the company 2.1/5.0 (8 reviews) with criticism around work-life balance and compensation — candidates should verify current culture directly.
