Job description

pash is a creative incubator and studio dedicated to nurturing meaningful art.

Through collaboration with innovative creators, pash exists to elevate the artistic landscape and everything we bring to life will always adhere to our creative mandate of being deeply meaningful and wildly imaginative.

THE ROLE

pash is seeking a rare hybrid: an Executive Producer who can move fluidly between creative vision, brand building, business strategy, and operations. Reporting to the Founder and partnering closely with the Founder’s Executive Support, this person owns the full arc from idea to expression to viable reality - helping shape pash’s evolving direction, translating it into clear creative and business briefs, and producing the people, decisions, resources, and momentum required to bring it to life.

This is the central producer of pash as a platform - not the producer of a single venue and not a project coordinator. They ensure hospitality, live performance, programming, partnerships, IP, content, and future ventures feel born from one coherent point of view.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Steward pash’s overall creative and business vision alongside the Founder: clarify the North Star, help evolve it, recommend priorities, and protect it across every expression.
• Own the integrated portfolio and production roadmap across brand, hospitality, programming, partnerships, IP, content, development, and future ventures - from concept through launch.
• Turn vision into creative and strategic briefs, through the development of business models, budgets, schedules, decision points, and hard deliverables.
• Assemble, direct, and align cross-functional teams; evaluate the work, give clear feedback, and redirect or reject anything that is off-brand, underdeveloped, or operationally unsound through the lens of the Founder.
• Lead the operating cadence, assign owners, make decisions within agreed parameters, and bring the Founder concise recommendations on the choices that truly require him.
• Connect brand ambition to commercial and operational reality, including audience, partnerships, revenue potential, resourcing, feasibility, and long-term value.
• Hold hospitality groups, advisors, consultants, and project partners accountable while closing the gaps and overlaps between their scopes.
• Partner with Executive Support to channel prioritized decisions and inputs into the Founder's attention.

WHO YOU ARE

• An accomplished executive producer and brand operator who has built or launched a founder-led creative business, brand, or platform end-to-end.
• Equally credible with artists and creative leaders, brand strategists, operators, finance partners, and senior external collaborators.
• Strong creative judgment and storytelling instincts, paired with fluency in business models, budgets, schedules, tradeoffs, and resourcing.
• A synthesizer who can absorb ambiguity, find the throughline, sharpen the idea, and turn it into a clear brief and executable path.
• Decisive, candid, and independent-minded; comfortable challenging the room, saying no, and owning the outcome without territoriality.
• Experience may span branded entertainment, experiential, media, arts and culture, hospitality, production, creative agencies, or adjacent fields.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Every expression of pash feels intentionally produced from one clear point of view. Ideas become fully scoped, brand‑coherent, and financially considered initiatives; teams understand the brief, owners, decisions, and deadlines; partners deliver; the Founder is engaged at the highest‑value moments; and the platform advances without its ownership defaulting back to the Founder or their Executive Support.

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary and benefits commensurate with experience.
