• Oversee talent and location logistics for high-profile campaign shoots, including celebrity and athlete talent with complex scheduling and contractual requirements
• Partner deeply with the Creative and Brand teams from the earliest stages of concepting through final delivery — acting as the operational backbone that makes bold creative ideas executable
• Ensure every produced asset, from major campaign shoots to fast-turn social content, reflects the SKIMS aesthetic and upholds brand standards
• Collaborate with creative leadership on resource planning, production feasibility, and how to evolve the visual language of the brand through production choices
• Serve as the lead production partner on NikeSkims, managing all aspects of campaign and content production for the collaboration
• Build and maintain a strong, trust-based working relationship with the Nike production and creative teams — acting as a respectful, solutions-oriented partner who understands the weight and complexity of working with a global brand at Nike's scale
• Navigate the unique operational and approval requirements of a co-branded partnership, ensuring both brands' standards, timelines, and creative vision are honored throughout production
• Align on production processes, workflows, and deliverable specifications with Nike counterparts, and proactively communicate to keep both sides moving efficiently and collaboratively
• Represent SKIMS with professionalism and partnership at every touchpoint — from early planning calls to on-set execution to final asset delivery
• Continuously evaluate and evolve production workflows to keep pace with the brand's growth — identifying inefficiencies, piloting new approaches, and building scalable infrastructure across all content types
• Build and manage production budgets across all creative workstreams, ensuring resources are allocated strategically and spend is tracked with rigor
• Partner with the creative, marketing, and brand teams to develop production timelines that protect creative integrity while meeting aggressive go-to-market schedules
• Ensure all productions are fully compliant with California labor laws, including proper crew classification, wage and hour requirements, and on-set working conditions
• Manage all SAG-AFTRA requirements when working with union talent — including proper signatory status, session fees, residuals tracking, and adherence to SAG working rules on set

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 10+ years of creative production experience, with at least 3–4 years in a leadership role; fashion, beauty, or lifestyle brand experience strongly preferred
• A proven track record producing high-profile campaigns involving celebrity or athlete talent
• Deep fluency in both large-scale editorial/campaign production and high-velocity e-commerce and digital content production
• Experience working within co-branded or licensed partnerships, and the interpersonal skills to be an excellent cross-company collaborator — particularly in environments with large, structured brand partners
• Thorough working knowledge of California labor law as it applies to commercial and fashion production, and hands-on experience navigating SAG-AFTRA agreements
• Demonstrated experience partnering with Legal teams on contracts, talent agreements, and risk management
• Exceptional budget management skills — you can build a budget from scratch, manage it in real time, and find efficiencies without compromising quality
• Strong relationships across the LA and NYC production ecosystem: photographers, directors, casting, post-production, studios
• A calm, solutions-first presence under pressure — you've run shoots that go sideways and you know how to course-correct without losing the room
• A builder's mentality — you're never satisfied with "how we've always done it" and are always looking for smarter, faster, better ways to produce
