What you will be doing:

The Photography and Video Project Manager leads the end-to-end production and delivery of integrated marketing campaign assets for OXO. This role translates campaign strategy, media plans, product launch priorities, and channel requirements into clear scopes, tiered production plans, budgets, workbacks, and final deliverables. The role requires strong knowledge of paid and owned media asset needs, with extensive experience delivering social-first video, photography, digital, e-commerce, retail, and other campaign content across formats, placements, aspect ratios, cutdowns, and usage requirements.

This person manages multiple production vendors and agency partners across several concurrent, tiered campaigns, ensuring assets are delivered on time, on budget, on brand, and ready for activation. The ideal candidate brings experience from a complex consumer-products organization similar to OXO, where a large SKU catalog, seasonal launches, retailer needs, and high asset volume require disciplined prioritization and operational rigor.

This is a senior individual-contributor role with strong cross-functional influence, ownership, and decision-making responsibility.

Lead end-to-end production planning and execution for integrated marketing campaigns, from brief through final asset delivery and archival.

Partner with Marketing, Creative, Media, E-commerce, Sales, Product Development, and Legal teams to translate campaign objectives into actionable production plans.

Develop asset matrices, workback schedules, and production scopes aligned to media plans across social, digital, e-commerce, CRM, web, retail media, and retailer channels.

Apply tiered production strategies based on campaign priorities, budgets, business impact, and channel needs.

Forecast production needs across product launches, seasonal campaigns, retailer requirements, and a large SKU portfolio.

Manage campaign scope, timelines, budgets, approvals, dependencies, and stakeholder communication in a fast-paced environment.

Lead social-first and digital content production, ensuring deliverables meet platform specifications, localization, accessibility, rights, and versioning requirements.

Manage external agencies, vendors, creators, and production partners, including RFPs, SOWs, estimates, negotiations, and performance.

Oversee production logistics including talent, locations, studios, usage rights, post-production, reviews, and final delivery.

Identify and mitigate production risks, resolve issues proactively, and provide clear recommendations on tradeoffs, timing, and budget impacts.

Own production budgeting, forecasting, purchase orders, accruals, invoices, reconciliations, and financial reporting.

Maintain production systems, trackers, schedules, asset records, and reporting to ensure visibility and operational excellence.

Drive standardized production workflows, approval processes, templates, and best practices while continuously improving efficiency and asset reuse.

Ensure all campaign assets are approved, quality-checked, compliant, properly documented, and delivered in launch-ready formats.
