This newly created role will serve as a key operational partner to the creative team, bringing structure, clear communication, and practical problem-solving to projects across photo, video, design, and other creative channels.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, pragmatic producer who knows how to build a strong process while remaining flexible when projects require a more hands-on or scrappy approach. This person will manage internal teams, external vendors, agencies, and production partners while balancing creative quality, timelines, budgets, and business needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, budgets, and resource allocations
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously across creative, photo, video, design, motion, and other disciplines
• Coordinate photo and video shoots, including crew, vendors, locations, schedules, equipment, and day-of logistics
• Manage external vendors and agency partners, including sourcing, bidding, scope, negotiations, timelines, and deliverables
• Oversee production budgets ranging from smaller-scale projects through approximately $2M
• Bring a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach to production, finding ways to keep projects moving when timelines, budgets, or resources shift
• Facilitate project meetings, creative reviews, and status updates to keep teams aligned
• Identify risks, dependencies, and potential roadblocks early and develop practical solutions
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with creative teams, stakeholders, vendors, and leadership
• Help establish scalable production processes and workflows for a growing creative organization
• Balance creative quality with business objectives, budget realities, and delivery timelines

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in creative production, project management, or a related role
• Background in an agency, in-house creative team, production studio, or consumer-facing brand environment
• Experience managing photo and video production from planning through final delivery
• Strong vendor and agency management experience, including bidding, negotiations, scopes, and budgets
• Experience managing projects with budgets ranging from smaller productions to $2M+

Preferred Background

Experience within consumer, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, retail, e-commerce, entertainment, or other visually driven industries is a plus.

Familiarity with tools such as Asana, Smartsheet, Notion, Jira, Figma, or similar project and creative workflow platforms is preferred.
