Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end production on high-profile campaigns: pre-production planning, on-site execution, and post-production delivery.
• Manage the cadence and logistics of multi-shoot, rotating-format productions — including events, live and studio-style content, and branded series.
• Serve as the senior on-site production presence, functioning as producer, talent handler, and project lead simultaneously when needed.
• Develop and standardize production processes, vendor relationships, and pricing frameworks that scale with the business.
• Partner with editorial, creative strategy, and client service teams to ensure content meets both creative and commercial objectives.
• Own and expand relationships with top-tier talent agencies (UTA, WME, CAA, and boutique firms), negotiating directly and proactively building a pipeline of high-value talent.
• Serve as the senior point of contact for celebrity talent, handlers, publicists, and legal/business management throughout the engagement lifecycle.
• Manage all contractual considerations: compensation, scheduling, usage rights, approval processes, and contingencies.
• Build and maintain a sourcing playbook for identifying and securing celebrity talent aligned to specific client briefs and budgets.
• Anticipate and navigate the complexity of high-profile talent with calm and experience.

Requirements

• 7+ years of production experience, with significant time in environments involving celebrity or high-profile talent.

• Direct experience working with talent agents, publicists, handlers, and legal/business management.
• Track record of building agency relationships and sourcing talent proactively, not just reactively.
• Experience supervising junior producers or production coordinators.
