About The Position

Pinterest’s House of Creative is seeking a Lead Creative Producer to lead end-to-end creative production for complex, high-impact marketing programs across multiple channels and workstreams. The role combines hands-on production execution with in-house cross-functional leadership, partnering with Creative, Marketing, Product, Comms, Media, Legal, Finance, and external production partners to move work from early concept through final delivery. The producer will create clarity around how work gets made by establishing shared plans, keeping milestones and dependencies visible, aligning decision-makers, surfacing risks and tradeoffs early, and ensuring teams understand what is happening, changing, and needed. The role also contributes to production standards, tools, and practices and supports other producers. The position requires in-office collaboration 1–2 times per week and a commutable distance from Pinterest’s Los Angeles office. It is not eligible for relocation assistance.

Requirements

At least 8 years of experience in integrated creative production across in-house brand or marketing organizations and/or agency teams.
Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as marketing, communications, or production, or equivalent experience.
Hands-on production experience across large, multi-channel campaigns, including deep knowledge of film/video production and strong fluency across photography, social, digital, experiential, and other integrated formats.
Demonstrated success working within or deeply embedded with complex in-house creative and marketing organizations.
Experience leading highly cross-functional programs and creating alignment across teams with different goals, timelines, and decision-makers.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills, including proactively keeping teams aligned on schedules, milestones, dependencies, changes, and decisions.
Strong production judgment and ability to independently manage budgets, scopes, resources, vendors, timelines, and risk.
Ability to influence without authority, navigate ambiguity, and determine when to resolve an issue at the working level versus escalate it for a leadership decision.
Experience managing external agencies and production partners while maintaining strong internal relationships and accountability.
Must be within commutable distance of the Los Angeles office for in-person collaboration 1–2 times per week.

Advocate for creative craft while balancing business priorities, production realities, budgets, and timelines.
