Senior Creative Producer

Zero Overview

Zero is a creative studio founded in NYC. We have offices in New York, Milwaukee, Los Angeles as well as working virtually across the world. Our intention is to create an environment where multidisciplinary teams can solve problems for progressive and contemporary brands. We aim to constantly re-evaluate what it’s like to work with a studio and provide a high degree of value and service to our clients and our team.

Our studio seeks an individual with a background in both creative production and social media strategy and the ability to operate with a wide array of personalities (both internally and client-side). We believe that process is at the center of our success, and are continually seeking to evolve ours to get the most out of each engagement. The unique and complex problems that face our clients call for fresh and strategic thinkers.

As a Senior Creative Producer, you will serve as a leader at Zero with the opportunity to define the creative practice in content production. We expect an entrepreneurial and results-oriented focus to spur the growth of the studio, as well as future-forward thinking and the ability to work across creative disciplines and client needs. You’ll be working directly with the creative and account leads, as well as members of the creative team and will touch many of the accounts at the studio.

Your day-to-day tasks will require you to work across teams and disciplines such as brand, digital, marketing and social. Your focus will be on leading the execution of small to large scale productions at the studio – guiding the team through all aspects of a production: pre, day-of, and post. You will also be responsible for developing and managing budgets throughout the process as well as sourcing all partners and needs to meet the defined budgets.

You will be managing a high volume of projects and will be the primary point of contact for creative production, so problem-solving, seeing opportunity and possibility in projects and communication skills are a must. Inspiring clients to see how creative ideas will impact their business as well as providing measurable value will be vital to your success.

As a Senior Creative Producer, our expectation is that you approach the day-to-day with a positive, and solutions-oriented mindset. We believe the traits of kindness, respect, and empathy are vital to the role and a high degree of emotional intelligence and strategic thinking will be keys to success.

Day-to-day responsibilities will consist of leading the execution of content shoots and experiential productions at the studio – guiding the team through all aspects of a production: pre, day-of, and post. You will participate in resource planning, support and coordination across the full content team including photography and retouching, animation, 3D and video editing.
