Job Summary

Drive end-to-end social-first content production for multi-client campaigns, owning timelines, budgets, and cross-functional delivery.

  • Must-have: 7+ years in agency-style creative production project management with multi-client complexity.
  • Standout: Proven cross-team leadership, budget ownership, and end-to-end workflow oversight.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Oversee the production and delivery of social-first creative content.
  • Manage content produced by internal creative professionals for distribution across clients' owned-social channels.
  • Transform strategic briefs into actionable production plans, including design sprints, filming schedules, revision cycles, platform-specific asset matrices, and definitive delivery timelines.
  • Manage a portfolio of concurrent projects for diverse clients, planning for development and expansion, managing creative resources, and making professional judgments regarding scope, quality, and timeline trade-offs.
  • Build and maintain production timelines, content calendars, and deliverable tracking sheets across all active creative projects.
  • Write and route creative briefs to internal teams and external vendors.
  • Manage the full content production workflow: concepting, scripting, design, shooting, editing, revision rounds, client approvals, and final asset delivery.
  • Run internal creative kick-offs, production status syncs, and post-project retrospectives.
  • Coordinate multi-format asset production across platforms with awareness of platform-specific specs, aspect ratios, and timelines.
  • Manage creative review cycles, version tracking, stakeholder feedback consolidation.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in project management within a marketing, advertising, or creative agency environment, with a significant portion spent managing creative production workflows.
  • In-house brand experience alone is not sufficient, you’ll need to have managed the complexity of multi-client, multi-stakeholder agency production.
  • Creative production expertise: You’ve managed social-first content production across formats including video (short-form and long-form), static design, motion graphics, photography, and UGC-style content.
  • You understand the production lifecycle from concept through final delivery, and you can speak credibly to creative teams about timelines, feasibility, and quality trade-offs.
  • Social and influencer fluency: You’re well-rounded in social media marketing and influencer/creator campaigns. You understand creator content workflows, usage rights (organic vs. paid windows), content approvals, and how social creative fits into larger campaign strategies, even though your day-to-day focus is studio production.
  • Multi-platform fluency: Deep working knowledge of content specs, formats, and production requirements across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. You know the difference between producing a Reel, a TikTok, a YouTube Short, and a YouTube long-form piece and why each requires different timelines and labor.
  • Experience with Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, or X is a plus.
  • Financial acumen: You’ve owned production budgets and can manage burn tracking, variance reporting, and scope change recommendations without a finance team holding your hand.
  • Tool proficiency: Comfortable with project management platforms, creative review tools, Google Suite, and Slack as core working tools.
  • Cross-functional leadership: Demonstrated ability to drive alignment across creative, strategy, account, and operations teams.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills.

Preferred

  • Hands-on experience managing video shoots, photo shoots, or studio productions where you’ve been on set and understand the logistics of physical and remote content production.
  • Experience with Frame.io, Ziflow, or equivalent creative review and approval tools for managing multi-stakeholder feedback cycles.
  • Experience with time tracking and project management tools for time tracking, utilization monitoring, and project financials.
  • PMP, PgMP, or equivalent project management certification.
  • Working knowledge of design and editing software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve) not as a practitioner, but enough to give informed feedback and understand production timelines.
  • Experience supporting new business pitches and RFP responses with production scoping, creative staffing models, and timeline development.
  • Previous work at a social-first agency, influencer marketing agency, or content production studio.
  • Experience with multi-client agency environments that require complex stakeholder management.
  • Strong vendor management and negotiation skills for on-site and remote production.
  • Demonstrated ability to set and defend production budgets in fast-moving campaigns.
