About Filmabad

Filmabad is a fast-growing community and ecosystem for filmmakers, storytellers, and creatives in Pakistan. We run Bootcamps, Labs, and an annual film festival (MEHFILM), while also building platforms to empower the local creative economy. Our mission is to make filmmaking accessible, practical, and globally competitive.

We are looking for a Head of Production & Programs to join our core team. This role is central to ensuring Filmabad's programs, events, and productions run smoothly and professionally.

Role Overview

The Head of Production & Programs will be responsible for managing the logistics, operations, and execution of Filmabad's core activities — from bootcamps and labs to special events and the MEHFILM festival. This role is about making things happen: turning ideas into smooth, well-run experiences for our community.

You will work directly with the Founder and the Director of Sponsorships & Community, and be a key part of Filmabad's leadership triangle.

Key Responsibilities

1. Bootcamp Production

• Plan and manage logistics for Filmabad Bootcamps: venue, equipment rentals, food, transport, and on-site setup.
• Create and update Bootcamp Checklists to keep operations consistent.
• Coordinate with mentors and volunteers to ensure seamless delivery.
• Track expenses and close out payments after each bootcamp.
• Ensure participants have a smooth onboarding experience (registration, confirmations, follow-ups).

2. Finance & Administration

• Maintain program budget sheets and expense tracking.
• Collect, file, and organize all receipts, invoices, and contracts.
• Deliver a simple monthly financial summary (income vs expenses).
• Support sponsorship reporting by preparing usage/budget reports for sponsors when required.

3. Program & Event Management

• Support Filmabad Labs (scheduling, communication, technical setup).
• Assist with MEHFILM festival logistics (venues, vendors, permissions, guest coordination, volunteer deployment).
• Coordinate with schools/partners for special programs and workshops.
• Handle scheduling and communication for Filmabad events.

4. Systems & Data

• Keep Filmabad's shared drive organized with trackers, contracts, budgets, and rosters.
• Maintain accurate records of attendees, volunteers, and mentors for all programs.
• Document learnings and feedback after each program to improve future workflows.
• Ensure all data remains centralized with Filmabad.

5. General Support

• Provide weekly progress updates to the Founder and core team.
• Step in as support staff at major events (festival days, bootcamps, labs) as needed.
• Anticipate gaps in planning and proactively solve problems.

What We're Looking For

• 1–4 years of experience in event management, production coordination, or program operations (film/media background is a plus, not required).
• Highly organized, reliable, and detail-oriented.
• Comfortable handling budgets, receipts, and admin tracking.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure.
• Excited to be part of a fast-moving, creative, grassroots ecosystem.
• Team player with strong communication skills.

What We Offer

• A chance to be part of the core leadership team of Filmabad.
• Exposure to the film industry, both locally and internationally.
• Networking with filmmakers, mentors, and creative professionals.
• Competitive stipend, with growth potential as Filmabad expands.
• A role that combines creativity and execution — no two weeks are the same.

If you're passionate about creative industries, love making things happen, and want to play a core role in building Pakistan's filmmaking ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you.
