Administrative Production Assistant

Elsevier is hiring an Administrative Production Assistant based out of Home, Washington to support its in-house health education video studio. This role sits inside the studio’s content production workflow, handling script management, document control, and production administration from pre-production through release. It suits a detail-oriented production professional who understands how content pipelines run and wants to contribute to a high-volume video production operation.

About the Role

The Administrative Production Assistant works directly with the Studio Team and Head of Content at Elsevier, supporting the end-to-end delivery of medical education video content. A typical day involves conforming scripts after video releases, maintaining version control across outlines and table of contents documents, and keeping project tasks current inside Asana. This is a production administration role at its core, meaning the work keeps the entire studio’s content workflow organized and moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Conform scripts following video releases and maintain accurate version control across all production documents, including outlines, scripts, and table of contents files.
• Create and manage Asana tasks for active video projects, adding updates, documents, and templates as production progresses.
• Store and organize script and outline documents for medical experts and production staff within established digital asset management systems, including Dropbox and Adobe DAM.
• Partner with the Client Services team to prepare and distribute script review sets to clients on schedule.
• Draft video release communications, update production databases, and submit award nominations as part of ongoing studio support responsibilities.
• Support cross-functional studio operations by creating or updating table of contents documents and responding to requests across the production team.

What You Bring

• Experience on the administrative side of video production workflows, or a completed degree in Film Production or a closely related field.
• Working knowledge of film and video production processes, including pre-production documentation and content delivery pipelines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace applications used in production environments.
• Familiarity with Dropbox for file storage and version control, with Adobe DAM experience considered a plus.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong attention to detail and independent time management.
• Written communication skills suited to a production context, with healthcare or medical education content experience as a plus.

The position offers flexible working hours and a remote setup, which suits experienced production administrators who manage their own schedules well.
