Sr. Integrated Producer

Role:  Senior Producer

Location:  Chicago, Illinois

About the role: 

As Senior Producer, you are the production engine of the studio. You'll manage complex, multi-format projects simultaneously — keeping them on time, on budget, and to a high standard — while staying a trusted partner to creative, account, and brand teams throughout. You'll navigate union and non-union production environments, lead vendor relationships, and ensure the financial and logistical integrity of every project from brief to final delivery. 

What you will be doing: 

• Own end-to-end production for photo, video (short and long form, motion graphics, animation), and experiential/event projects — in-studio, on-location, and remote.
• Lead pre-production planning including crew assembly, location logistics, talent casting, permit coordination, and shoot scheduling.
• Manage post-production workflows for motion and stills, directing editors, motion designers, and retouchers to meet quality and deadline expectations.
• Partner with brand teams to review project briefs and advise on the most effective production approach to meet creative and commercial goals.
• Guide the creative team in developing concepts that are logistically and financially executable without compromising output quality.
• Manage the full vendor bidding process: sourcing, negotiating, and presenting competitive bids for brand approval.
• Navigate SAG and non-union talent requirements, including executing and renewing talent usage contracts in line with current best practices.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date project documentation and keep all stakeholders informed of progress, next steps, and deadlines at every phase.
• Act as a clear, consistent point of accountability between creative and brand teams — aligning priorities to produce the best possible output.

What you need to be great in this role: 

• Solid experience as a Producer or Production Manager within a production company, agency, or in-house studio, across digital, social, broadcast, and experiential formats.
• A proven track record managing complex, multi-format productions: photography (stills, GIFs, cinemagraphs), video (short and long form, motion graphics, animation), and live events — in-studio and on-location.
• Experience creating, managing, and reconciling production budgets across a wide range of project scales.
• Confidence managing vendor relationships: sourcing crews, negotiating rates, and holding external production partners to quality and timeline standards.
• Working knowledge of SAG and non-union talent guidelines, including talent usage contract execution and renewal.
• Familiarity with social and digital content formats and platform-native delivery best practices.
• Strong communication and organisational skills: clear with stakeholders, current on documentation, and proactive about flagging issues before they become problems.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a demanding environment, adapting quickly as priorities shift.
• Willingness to travel for shoots when required.
