• Coordinate estimates, schedules, scopes, rights, releases, deliverables, post-production, and final trafficking.
• Work with Business Affairs on talent, licensing, usage, and production requirements.
• Flag union, talent, voiceover, licensing, legal, regulatory, accessibility, and brand-safety considerations early.
• Coordinate with integrated agency partners when work intersects with influencer, paid media, PR, shopper, or campaign activity.
• Maintain editorial calendars, production trackers, and organized project files.
• Prepare content for client review, manage revisions, and help keep approvals moving.
• Establish repeatable production workflows, templates, timelines, and review processes.
• Contribute to quarterly planning, performance discussions, and content optimization.
• Stay current on social platforms, creator practices, cultural moments, production tools, and emerging technologies.
• Help teams use AI-enabled tools responsibly while maintaining brand accuracy, human judgment, and appropriate review.
• Deliver work on time, on budget, and at the quality level expected by the client and agency.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in agency, brand, project management, production, or social production roles.
• Demonstrated experience producing social-first content for Instagram, TikTok, and other major platforms.
• A reel, portfolio, or examples of work demonstrating strong social production judgment.
