About You and The Role We are looking for a Senior Producer to help scale Zipline's creative and marketing organization. This person will lead the production and execution of customer facing marketing across every channel, transforming creative concepts into high quality experiences that reach customers on brand, on budget, and on time.

Working in close partnership with the Creative Director and marketing stakeholders, you will oversee the end to end production of campaigns, launches, and brand initiatives. Whether it's a billboard, storefront, vehicle wrap, event, direct mail piece, printed collateral, or digital campaign, you'll ensure creative work is produced to the highest standards while managing vendors, budgets, timelines, and execution.

Beyond production, you'll build the systems, workflows, and operating rhythms that enable the creative and marketing teams to scale efficiently. This role is ideal for someone who combines exceptional production expertise with operational excellence, creative judgment, and a passion for bringing ideas to life.

Own end to end production across print, OOH, retail, events, direct mail, branded merchandise, experiential activations, packaging, and digital channels.

Partner closely with the Creative Director and creative team to translate concepts into exceptional executions that preserve creative intent and elevate the Zipline brand.

Bring a strong point of view on production, materials, fabrication, and execution, ensuring every touchpoint reflects a high standard of craft, quality, and brand taste.

Serve as a thought partner throughout the creative process, proactively identifying opportunities to enhance the final output through production expertise while balancing quality, timeline, and budget.

Ensure every asset is delivered on brand, on budget, and on schedule.

Continuously evaluate vendors, production methods, and materials to improve quality, increase efficiency, and optimize costs without compromising the creative vision.

Build and manage relationships with printers, installers, fulfillment partners, freelancers, agencies, and production vendors.

Source vendors, negotiate pricing, evaluate production methods, and manage budgets to maximize value and quality.

Maintain production schedules while proactively identifying and mitigating execution risks.

Build & Scale Creative Operations

Develop and manage project intake, prioritization, and project management processes across the organization.

Build scalable workflows, operating procedures, and planning frameworks that improve efficiency and execution quality.

Create visibility into project status, production schedules, timelines, risks, dependencies, budgets, and resource allocation.

Partner closely with Growth, Product Marketing, Commercial, Communications, Community Engagement, Operations, and external partners to bring initiatives to market.

• Demonstrated experience producing marketing assets across print, OOH, retail, events, packaging, direct mail, and digital, with the ability to connect individual deliverables into cohesive, integrated campaign experiences across channels.
