Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with the Creative Team on all aspects of a campaign, from conception to completion — including building schedules, informing budgets, and flagging any unusual or high-lift elements (e.g. social shoots, 3D animation, motion capture, specialty capabilities). Note: Detailed budgeting will be done with the Head of Production and a Sr. Producer.
Partner with Accounts to communicate production feasibility, flags, and budget information directly to clients, maintaining a high standard of client satisfaction in lockstep with the Account Supervisor.
Creative partner to Strategy — attending brainstorms, contributing to decks and briefs with copy and references, and sharing responsibility on scripts before they go into production.
Acts as an expert partner on respective content, IP, and brief.
Oversee treatments and shot lists for shoots in collaboration with the Design Team; work with the Post Supervisor to resource editors, designers, and motion designers appropriately.
Lead all internal kickoffs and project meetings; when with clients, the AM sets up the call and passes off to the CP for project updates.
Serve as creative lead on shoots — responsible for production staffing and highest-level on-set execution while the AM fosters the client relationship.
Consolidate all client notes and feedback into concise, actionable steps; translate those notes back to the team while maintaining the creative goals and purpose of each deliverable.
Work directly with editors, designers, and motion designers to oversee and uplevel all elements of an edit or static asset: music, SFX, graphics, copy, narrative flow, selects, and scripting.
Line produces shoot days for food-forward content from prep through wrap—managing crew, talent, locations, and on-set food styling logistics with a calm, solutions-first attitude.
Bring genuine food knowledge to every production: understand the difference between a hero shot and a lifestyle capture, and know how food needs to be prepped and handled to survive a full shoot day. You will be hiring a food producer for premium shoots
Be ready and willing to pick up the iPhone and shoot. Whether it’s a quick recipe clip, a creator collab, or a reactive cultural moment, you’re comfortable capturing great content yourself when the project doesn’t require a full crew.
Develop and maintain a library of scalable, repeatable content formats designed for social platforms—think step-by-step recipe reels, “meal of the week” series, and UGC-style taste tests—that can be produced efficiently at high volume without sacrificing quality.
Demonstrate fluency in platform-specific requirements (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest) and ensure all food content deliverables are optimized for where they’ll live.
Stay current on food content trends, viral recipe formats, and creator-driven storytelling to keep content feeling fresh and culturally relevant.
