Our retail client's in-house Studio is seeking a Line Producer with a production-first skill set to serve as the operational anchor for Style Social. This is a production management role focused on the mechanical, logistical, and financial realities of executing creative content across fashion, beauty, and home.

While a baseline creative/maker sensibility is valued, this role prioritizes elite production toolkits over content creation. As the Line Producer, you are an operational master who owns the production pipeline-managing budgets, schedules, unions, crews, and post-production workflows. You will partner with writers, art directors, creators, and editors, translating big creative ideas into tightly managed, high-efficiency physical and digital productions.

Key Outcomes & Responsibilities

1. Production Leadership & Execution (Primary Focus)

• Operational Control: Own the end-to-end line production process for social-first static, video, and digital campaigns, ensuring complex multi-deliverable packages land on time and on budget.
• On-Set Protocols: Act as the primary production lead on set for studio and location shoots across LA and NY/NJ studio zones. Apply deep technical knowledge of broadcast, high-end editorial, and run-and-gun formats.
• Crew & Union Management: Leverage an existing network of elite LA/NY crews. Direct and manage union and non-union talent/crew, with a working command of SAG, DGA, and IATSE contracts and AICP/AICE bidding guidelines.
• Post-Production Oversight: Supervise post-production pipelines, motion graphics, sound design, retouching, color grading, and CGI deliverables with strict attention to technical specs and delivery formats.
• Legal & Business Affairs: Partner with Business Affairs and legal teams to negotiate usage rights, oversee talent procurement costs, ensure compliance, and maximize production spend optimization.

2. Systems, Efficiency & Fiscal Management

• Budget & Bidding Ownership: Build, track, and reconcile production budgets. Develop baseline and benchmark costs to measure fiscal impact year over year.
• Workflow Optimization: Scope, build, and enforce production processes that allow the studio to move faster and smarter without compromising safety or quality.
• Cross-Production Integration: Collaborate with external and third-party (3P) production teams to capture social content alongside massive enterprise campaigns, ensuring seamless logistics and minimal friction on set.
• Sample & Inventory Logistics: Oversee physical product workflows, including sample procurement, item tracking, and prop/set logistics.

3. Creative Partnership (Secondary Focus)

• Creative Scoping: Translate creative vision into actionable shoot plans, balancing high-concept design with realistic production constraints.
• Maker Technicals: Utilize foundational technical knowledge of video, static lighting, and basic editing tools (Adobe Premiere, CapCut) to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution.
• Trend Awareness: Stay current on cultural, design, and social platform mechanics to efficiently advise creative teams on what is logistically feasible for trending content.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3-5 years of hands-on line production experience within an agency, brand social team, digital publication, or production company.
• Production Mastery: Proven track record of managing physical productions (studio and location) within major studio zones (LA and NY/NJ).
• Labor & Contracts: Deep working knowledge of union guidelines (SAG-AFTRA, DGA, IATSE) and industry bidding standards (AICP/AICE).
• Technical Rigor: Expert understanding of static and video deliverables, multi-format workflows, post-production engines, and file management.
• Software Tools:

  • Operations & Project Management: Airtable, Figma, Slack, MS Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Workspace.

  • Production/Post Awareness: Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere), CapCut.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Production, Digital Media, Marketing, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $60.00/hr to $64.00/hr. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
