OPERATIONS, BUDGET & VENDOR MANAGEMENT
Source & Manage Partners: Source and manage a diverse roster of vendors such as photographers, DPs, editors, creators, and production houses.
Own the Budget & Schedule: Maintain strict oversight of approved production budgets and timelines. Negotiate costs, identify efficiencies without compromising design intent, and ensure milestones are met.

Experience: 4+ years in creative production, with a strong background in creative content production (photo/video/social) live events and agency experience a plus.
Industry Knowledge: Deep experience and comfort level working in sports, culture, lifestyle, and brand content. Comfortable working with athletes, talent, creators, and diverse production crews.
Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of photo/video post-production workflows. Ability to shoot/edit social-first content when needed is a plus.

Communication: A direct, confident communicator who can receive feedback quickly and adjust accordingly.
Creative Tools: Proficient use of Slack, Monday.com, Box, Google Workspace, and Keynote and Figma. Use of generative AI for research and workflow optimization is a must.
