About The Position

Snap is seeking an experienced Executive Producer to lead Snap Studio, its in-house production and studio services organization. The role is the senior production and service leader, responsible for making Snap Studio a strategic, scalable, and trusted partner to internal customers.

The Executive Producer will establish processes and systems, manage budgets and vendor relationships, partner with internal stakeholders, identify and mitigate risks, and foster an inclusive, high-performing team culture.
