Creative Producer

Creative Producer

Museum of Ice Cream is an inclusive & immersive brand, designed to captivate your sweetest fantasy and sugar-filled daydreams online and IRL. At Museum of Ice Cream, we invite you to believe in the magic of creativity, to remind you that inclusive spaces do exist, and to show you that childlike wonder is worth savoring. In our world, ice cream is the agent of change and the vehicle to ignite the creative spirit that lives in all of us.

Fueled by the power of imagination, MOIC is a universe of possibilities with tons of room for you to explore.

Museum of Ice Cream creates immersive experiences that bring people together through imagination, connection and ice cream. This winter, MOIC will deliver four major brand activations across multiple museums, each with ambitious creative ideas, complex partner commitments and immovable launch dates.

We are looking for a hands-on Creative Producer who can turn approved ideas into exceptional physical experiences. This person will lead production of a major Miami cultural activation in December while supporting three additional brand activations across our portfolio.

This is a mid-level individual-contributor role for someone who knows how activations actually get made. The right person can build the workback, manage vendors and budgets, translate creative intent into production requirements, anticipate risk and keep internal teams, partners and museum Operations moving toward launch.

As Creative Producer, you will independently own assigned activation workstreams from approved concept through fabrication, installation, launch and closeout. You will be accountable for the plan, budget tracking, production quality, communication and readiness of your projects.

Your anchor assignment will be the production of a high-visibility Miami activation in December. At the same time, you will support three additional winter brand activations, helping the Senior Creative Producer distribute work, maintain visibility across the portfolio and protect every external commitment.

You will partner with creative leads to preserve the idea while making it achievable. You will translate designs into scopes, specifications and execution plans; manage the people and vendors required to deliver them; and resolve issues quickly without allowing quality, safety, schedule or partner expectations to slip.

This role is ideal for an experiential agency producer who is calm under pressure, excellent with details and energized by turning ambitious creative into a real guest experience. You should be comfortable owning the work while knowing when to escalate a decision or risk.
