About The Position

The Creative Production Manager acts as the operational lead and storytelling guardian for the barre3 creative team. Reporting to the Director of Product, this role orchestrates the end-to-end production of premium digital workouts, brand marketing campaigns, and digital content that powers our omnichannel growth strategy. As a leader, you bridge the gap between creative vision and consumer-centric digital execution. You ensure that every piece of digital content provides a seamless, intuitive client experience across platforms—serving a consumer who relies on tech-enabled flexibility to fit mindful fitness into a busy life. You partner directly with the Videographer to execute shoots, bringing a grounded, collaborative, and steady presence to the set to optimize team workflows and unlock the best, most authentic performances from our on-camera talent. Partnership with Product Managers is key to coaching Online Instructors, empowering them to reflect our mindful approach and create a seamless class experience for our consumer. This role operates on a hybrid schedule requiring some days per week/per month in our Portland office. Because regular on-site collaboration is required, candidates must reside within commuting distance of the Greater Portland Metro area.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in digital content production, with a robust portfolio of managing video and photo shoots.
Proven experience acting as a Producer or Line Producer on commercial sets.
Understanding of digital music licensing, rights management, and music supervision.
Must demonstrate alignment with the barre3 core values: Practice Authenticity, Stronger Together, Love of Learning, Give Generously, and Make It Happen.
Ability to maintain operational discipline and a calm, supportive production environment.
Experience managing production budgets, negotiating vendor contracts, and resource forecasting.

Responsibilities

Lead the full lifecycle of content production, from conceptual budgeting and resource planning through to final delivery. Proactively identify operational bottlenecks and implement best practices to increase production value.
Partner with the Director of Product and key Product leaders to ensure that all digital content reflects the broader product roadmap, emphasizing tech-enabled flexibility and seamless hybrid integration.
Manage all phases of brand and campaign photo shoot production, including budgeting, scheduling, location scouting, and vendor coordination.
Command the set during filming and photoshoots. Act as the primary "Producer" during shoots, managing the timeline, crew, and talent while the Videographer focuses on technical execution.

Track and reconcile budgets, flagging risks early and identifying efficiencies.
Own all on-set operations — call sheets, transportation, catering, permits, and real-time problem-solving.
Partner with the Director of Brand & Creative to execute on established brand guidelines, ensuring aesthetic continuity while maintaining alignment with the Product roadmap.
Collaborate with the Product and Training teams to execute on the Product Strategy and ensure a high quality of content.
Manage the acquisition, assessment, onboarding, and coaching of on-camera talent. Partner directly with the Product and Training teams to mentor Instructors, manage talent releases, and provide a One-Brand Experience for the barre3 client.
Champion barre3’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in every casting decision and production process.
Orchestrate structured and efficient workflows from initial wrap to final distribution.

Ensure that physical and digital studio spaces are maintained and kept camera-ready for all shoot schedules
