POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Studio Executive Producer will lead and evolve our in-house production studio, working closely with production, creative, account services, project management, and legal teams to manage multiple concurrent projects and lines of business. The ideal candidate will possess a passion for production, a strong creative sensibility, and exceptional management and interpersonal skills.
The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating complex needs to ensure work is produced efficiently and executed to the highest standards. The EP must be familiar with industry best practices for production and post-production and be well-versed in union and non-union production regulations. A key responsibility of this role is managing external vendors, crew, directors, and post-production resources. As a client-facing position, the Executive Producer must also demonstrate excellent communication skills and diplomacy.
You're a match for this role if you're a builder, leader, and problem-solver who thrives at the intersection of creativity, production, and business. You have experience leading teams, managing the financial health of a studio or production operation, and building strong relationships with talent, vendors, and clients. You're equally comfortable shaping long-term strategy and rolling up your sleeves to solve day-to-day challenges, and you're energized by the opportunity to grow a studio, elevate its creative output, and help define what comes next.
