Job description

TRANSFORMATION | AI Executive Producer — Film & Video Solutions

Our work is bundled by teams, not by organizational layers. But it's not all work. Everyone at Monks knows how to have a good time, and everyone contributes to the positive energy of our culture. If you're intrigued, read on as we may have the dream job for you.

As the AI Executive Producer for AI Film & Video Solutions, you are accountable for the direction, motivation, and financial impact of the team delivering our Global AI Film & Video solution — AI-driven film, video, and motion content produced at scale for the world's biggest brands.

You oversee AI Solution Managers and production teams in pitching and executing film and video work within or across platforms, providing leadership and expert knowledge of the talent, techniques, and technology necessary to execute the work. You run AI production the way a great EP runs a traditional film shoot: everything approved before generation, with structured intake (talent, pose, wardrobe, product, direction, background) as the efficiency lever that makes scale possible.

You are responsible for attracting, developing, and deploying internal production talent to ensure the best content and production value possible for the idea and the client. You are accountable for the overall quality of work, ensuring goals are met and projects are delivered on time, on budget, and within margin targets.

The AI Executive Producer has 8–10+ years of experience across film, video, social, and digital content and has worked in film, photo, and post production capacities. You are a creative problem solver whose production expertise allows you to guide complex development efforts across AI/Innovation funnels — from image-to-video pipelines to fully agentic film production.

You possess strong leadership skills to help build out the Transformation COE team activities, with a focus on comms management, R&D, education, sales, and execution.

You are a great communicator, motivator, and project manager with an innate ability to get things done — leading from the front and setting a strategic environment that allows producers to excel.

As a result, you wear many hats. You take a very proactive role in business development efforts, helping to prepare and present both written and oral presentations. You advise project teams and clients on best practices, process, scope, schedules, and pricing, while building strong, resilient relationships along the way.

You develop, build, and/or evolve operational processes and workflow documentation, for all successful R&D to be implemented into the Monks.Flow pipeline after graduation has been determined. You manage micro AI production squads — the standard shape being CD, Producer, Creative Technologist, AI artist/retoucher, and 3D artist — to deliver product innovation on quarterly timelines. Quarterly, you track, review, and set new goals based on how the AI landscape develops in markets.

You will work closely with the Operations & Casting teams in conjunction with the Scaled Client Leads to manage current workloads as well as best forecast incoming projects to secure adequate resources.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Sales: Drive sales and creative development processes with an AI-enabled/forward production-led mentality. Ensure we show up competitive and set apart by bringing AI film and video production and operations capabilities into the pitch process, with all pitches connected to the global vision and strategy.

• Operations: Build, implement and enhance AI film/video production delivery processes — including QC gates, human review checkpoints, and legal/compliance review workflows (side-by-side validation, AI counsel sign-off).
• Benchmarking: Support tracking on existing productions before and after cost savings and implementing savings structures.
• Client Service: Service our Client.Monks teams with best in class AI service enablement that allows for continuous growth together. Establish in early kickoff calls whether the client's priority is time or quality before production starts.
• Partnership: Closely collaborate with the Regional business leads to deliver on an end-to-end experience for our clients and structure a model that safeguards the production funnels.
• Cross functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with growth and account and social monks to identify opportunities and grow together.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate potential legal risks and challenges that may impact production timelines, budgets, or quality — including talent likeness, training-data provenance, and model usage rights. Develop and implement contingency plans to ensure smooth project execution and client satisfaction.
• Comms: Roll out & manage yearly comms plan on AI for the studio in collaboration with other leads; comms include social, education, implementation, community or go to monks type of AI related messaging.
• R&D: Develop and manage the regional squad teams to deliver on AI products, help form teams, enable them and hold them accountable to deliver on their commitments.
