Principal, Creative Producer

Responsibilities

• Lead production workstreams from concept through final delivery, translating ambitious ideas into exceptionally crafted work.
• Stay at the forefront of evolving production techniques and use that knowledge to recommend the right approach for ideas across film, digital, social, experiential, immersive, and emerging formats.
• Partner closely with Creative leadership and creative teams to assess feasibility, shape production approaches, solve complex challenges, and protect the integrity of the creative idea throughout execution.
• Research, experiment with, and operationalize cutting-edge AI production techniques and tools, translating what you learn into practical opportunities and sharing what’s possible with the wider Creative & Design team.
• Identify, engage, and manage agency and production partners for assigned workstreams, building collaborative relationships that help Circle produce its best work.
• Manage production timelines, project budgets, workflows, dependencies, and communication, bringing clarity and momentum to complex projects involving multiple internal and external stakeholders.
• Champion exceptional executional quality across your productions, balancing creative ambition, craft, resources, constraints, and new ways of making without compromising what makes the idea great.

Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant creative production experience with a portfolio of exceptional, highly crafted work.
• Demonstrated experience producing creative across multiple formats and surfaces, including film, digital, social, experiential, immersive, and other emerging channels.
• Day-to-day fluency with modern AI-assisted production tools and workflows: you routinely use generative and assistive techniques (for ideation, asset generation, iteration, or post-production), apply prompt-engineering and iterative refinement, and translate model outputs into editorial and production decisions.
• Practical familiarity with core AI/ML concepts (for example, generative models, synthetic media, model evaluation and iteration) and the judgment to know when to rely on AI-driven approaches versus traditional production methods.
• Deep knowledge of the creative production process, with the judgment to recommend how an idea can best be made based on the creative ambition, audience, channel, resources, and constraints.
• A track record of leading complex production workstreams from concept through delivery while maintaining an exceptionally high standard of creative execution.
• Strong creative judgment and the ability to recognize a great idea, advocate for it, and ensure the production approach serves the idea rather than the technique or technology.
• Experience partnering directly with creative teams, agencies, production companies, and other specialist partners to bring ambitious creative work to life.

Preferred

• Hands-on experience experimenting with AI production tools and workflows, with a learn-by-making mindset and an informed perspective on emerging capabilities and broader industry developments.
• Practical experience applying prompt design, model output curation, quality evaluation, and integration of AI-generated assets into production pipelines.
• Experience working across both in-house creative teams and agency environments, with an understanding of how to get exceptional work made in each.
• Experience producing creative within financial services, technology, or another highly regulated environment.
