About the Role

We're looking for a Lead Producer to run the day-to-day of our video production team and own how work gets prioritized, resourced and delivered across a high volume of marketing, brand and ambassador content. You'll lead a team of Creative Producers, work closely with editors, designers and scriptwriters, and be the person stakeholders come to when priorities need to be called. You'll report to our Creative Director.

This is a hands-on role: you'll operate as one more producer on the team as much as its lead, not manage purely from above.

Key Responsibilities

• Stay hands-on: carry your own slate of productions alongside the team rather than only directing from above

• Collaborate directly and efficiently with the other department leads, traffic, video editors, motion graphic designers, graphic designers and copywriters, so work moves smoothly from concept to delivery

• Own capacity planning with the traffic team across the production pipeline, and push back on stakeholders when volume or timelines exceed what the team can deliver at quality

• Drive prioritization conversations with stakeholders so the team focuses on the highest-impact work instead of trying to run everything at once

• Raise the bar on brief quality, working with requesters up front to reduce back-and-forth and rework during production

• Build and roll out production process improvements for large campaigns, such as parallel alignment, storyboard one-pagers, and early producer involvement at script stage

• Own relationships with the freelance production network (editors, sound, VO) and key recurring stakeholders, including localization and ambassador teams

• Manage the projects at risk, unblock bottlenecks, and keep pipeline visibility for the Creative Director and Creative Services Lead

• Think beyond the day-to-day: anticipate where the team or pipeline will break before it happens, not just react once it does

• Stay calm under pressure and shield the team from stress rather than passing it downstream, especially when deadlines or stakeholders get demanding
