About The Position

The Creative Lead, Production & Creative Operations is the creative counterpart on the production side after a deal closes and the Strategist hands off to Activation. The role shepherds sold ideas through the studio to delivery, ensuring brand integrations are written into videos early as organic story beats rather than added in post. The position coordinates creative sequencing across the writers' room, social team, and Studio production; brings client requirements into production planning; and helps ensure branded assets are ready for filming. The role is based in Greenville and requires production travel and meaningful presence at the Studio. During shoots, the Creative Lead partners with the Activation AD when plans pivot to help preserve the client's core brand needs. The role also supports client calls by explaining creative trade-offs when production reality differs from the pitch, and feeds production learnings back to the Pitch Creative Lead for future pre-sale concepts.

Requirements

  • 10–15 years of experience in branded content production, integrated production creative direction, or in-studio creative operations at a network, streamer, agency production arm, or top-tier creator studio.
  • Production-floor experience, including experience on sets and in edit bays.
  • Understanding of production and post-production workflows, including call sheets, shot lists, dailies, and edit locks.
  • Writers' room fluency and the ability to advocate for brand-integration beats within a creative structure.
  • Ability to be meaningfully present at the Studio in Greenville.
  • Comfort with frequent creative pivots and ability to protect brand needs within a changed plan.

Responsibilities

  • Own creative integration in the writers' room, helping ensure sold integrations are included early as organic story beats.

  • Ensure branded assets that must be purchased or built are ready on filming day.
  • Attend shoots and partner with the Activation AD to preserve core brand needs when the creative plan pivots.
  • Support brand calls and explain creative trade-offs when necessary.
  • Feed production learnings to the Pitch Creative Lead to inform future pre-sale concepts.
