Social Producer

Day-to-Day Scope

You'll get exposure to different brand objectives, content models, and production tiers.

You'll operate as the day-to-day production lead within a set of clients—working alongside the Creative Lead and mobilizing a cross-functional team of videographers, editors, designers, and creators that brings the work to life.

A constant rhythm of shipping. Expect weekly production cycles for always-on content, layered with reactive turnarounds when culture calls for it, and the occasional larger shoot or campaign that demands a heavier production lift.

You own the production system inside your pod— the briefs, the shot lists, the set, the cuts, and the delivery. You own the day-to-day creator and crew relationships. The Creative Lead sets the bar; you're accountable for clearing it on schedule, on brief, and on standard.

What You'll Do Here

• Production Planning & Briefing
• Translate the direction from Creative Leads, into production briefs, shot lists, and run-of-show documents the team can execute against.
• Plan and operate ongoing production cycles for always-on content programs, balancing volume, quality, and turnaround.
• Lead production kickoffs and team briefings, and present production plans to client stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
• Agile Content Execution
• Act as a "maker" on the front line of production—partnering with creators, videographers, editors, and designers to ship high-volume social assets across short-form video, long-form video, and photography.
• Mobilize the team to ship inside the window on reactive briefs when the Lead identifies a cultural moment to chase.
• Creator Operations
• Operate the day-to-day creator relationship: scoping, scheduling, briefing, and shepherding work from concept to final cut.
• Provide hands-on production support and actionable feedback to creators throughout the process, keeping their work aligned to the brief and the creative direction.
• Asset Lifecycle & Delivery
• Own the asset lifecycle end-to-end— from concept through production to delivery—using agency tooling to keep work organized and visible.
• Set internal timelines, effectively consolidate and communicate client feedback for teams to address via actionable revision cycles, manage internal approval gates, track version history, and drive efficiency to remove bottlenecks.
• Collaborate with Project Managers to ensure internal timelines and output align with master WBS and to effectively communicate updates to internal and external stakeholders.
• AI-Enabled Workflows
• Apply AI tools across production and post—generative video, image, audio, editing automation—to drive efficiency and unlock new output.
• Bring useful AI applications back to the team, helping to evolve workflows over time.

What You'll Need To Have

• 4+ years producing social content at an agency, brand, or media company, with credits that prove you can ship volume without dropping the standard.
• End-to-end social production experience: translating creative direction into briefs and shot lists, casting and managing creators, directing on-set, overseeing post, and shipping to deliver.
• Track record of running always-on content programs at scale—managing parallel productions and holding weekly cadence without it becoming chaos.
• Comfort operating inside a creative team—taking direction from creative leadership and mobilizing cross-functional crews of videographers, editors, designers, and creators to execute against it.
• Proven creator partnership skills. Not just sourcing them, but coaching, giving sharp feedback, and getting brand-aligned work over the line.
• Working fluency with AI content tools—generative video, image, audio, editing automation—and a clear point of view on where they fit in production.
• Native command of formats across all major social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.). You know the difference between a TikTok-native idea and an idea that was made elsewhere and posted there.
• Ability to deliver under reactive pressure, turning around social-ready assets inside the window when culture calls for it.
• Polished client-facing communication. You can walk a senior marketer through a production plan and leave them confident.
• Hands-on proficiency with the production and project tools that keep modern content cycles moving (Frame.io, Monday.com, Notion, Slack, etc.).

Additional Considerations

• Awards or industry recognition for social-first creative work.
• Existing relationships with creators across verticals.
• A personal channel, side project, or creative experiment—evidence that you make content because you love it, not just because someone's paying you.

*Submission of a strong portfolio demonstrating a diverse range of strategy-led social media content, campaigns and/or projects is required with application.*
