The posting
Great creative work takes more than a great idea. It takes people who know how to bring that idea to life across different channels, disciplines and teams.
A single campaign might involve film, websites, digital experiences, social content, print, experiential activations and dozens of individual deliverables. Each has its own requirements, timelines and production challenges. Making them all work together takes experience, judgement and an understanding of how things get made.
We're looking for a Senior Integrated Producer who can bring all of that together. Someone who sees the bigger picture, connects the right people and knows how to turn ambitious creative ideas into exceptional work.
You'll be the connective tissue between teams, disciplines and deliverables. You'll know when to bring in the right experts, recognize when something isn't working and understand which levers to pull to get things back on track.
About ICF & ICF Next
ICF is a global consulting and technology services company working on some of the most pressing challenges facing businesses, governments and communities. From energy and climate to public health, infrastructure and government, our teams bring deep expertise to problems that don't have easy answers.
ICF Next brings creativity into that equation.
We're writers, designers, strategists, technologists and creative thinkers working together to help organizations connect with people and move them to action.
We have the creative ambition of an agency and access to the expertise of a global consultancy. That combination gives us an unusual opportunity to understand difficult problems from the inside, find the human story and create work that makes a difference in the real world.
Our Creative team brings together more than 150 professionals across design, copy, video, motion, production and operations. We work across disciplines to deliver ambitious, effective and beautifully executed work.
The Role
As a Senior Integrated Producer, you'll take ownership of complex, multichannel campaigns, working across Creative, Account, Strategy, Digital and specialist production teams to bring ideas from the initial brief through development, production, launch and delivery.
You'll understand how the different elements of a campaign fit together, what each discipline needs to succeed and how decisions in one area can affect the wider work.
You'll have a strong working knowledge of digital production, including websites, interactive experiences, digital advertising and content platforms, alongside film, video, motion, print, experiential and other channels. You don't need to be a technical specialist in every area, but you do need to understand how things work, recognize potential gaps and know when to involve the right experts.
You'll be expected to make decisions, challenge assumptions and help teams navigate the realities of complex production. When something isn't working, you'll understand why and know what needs to change, whether that's the resources, the schedule, the scope or the way teams are working together.
This is a senior role for someone who can bring clarity to complexity, keep people connected and make sure the work delivers on its creative ambition.
What You'll Do
- Bring it all together. Lead the planning and delivery of integrated campaigns across digital, social, film, video, motion, print, experiential and emerging channels. Understand how individual deliverables connect and make sure the entire campaign works as a cohesive whole.
- Connect the teams. Work across Creative, Account, Strategy, Digital and specialist production teams. Establish clear responsibilities, keep people aligned and know when to bring in the right expertise.
- Know how things get made. Bring a broad understanding of production across channels, with particularly strong digital knowledge. Recognize the technical requirements, dependencies and potential gaps, and work with specialists to find the right solutions.
- Keep things moving. Own project planning, schedules, resources, estimates and budgets. Manage competing priorities and make sure teams have what they need to deliver great work.
- Know when to intervene. Recognize when something isn't working, understand what's causing the problem and take action. Challenge assumptions, adjust resources, revisit timelines or bring people together to find a better way forward.
- Protect the work. Partner with creative and production leads to maintain quality and consistency across deliverables, ensuring the finished work reflects the strength of the original idea.
- Build trust. Develop strong relationships with teams, clients and production partners. Communicate clearly, manage expectations and navigate difficult conversations with confidence and good judgement.
- Make the team better. Improve how work moves through the organization, from briefing and planning to reviews, approvals and delivery. Mentor less experienced colleagues, share knowledge and help build stronger production capabilities across the team.
Who You Are
You understand the big picture without losing sight of the details.
You've worked on complex campaigns with demanding clients, tight deadlines, multiple teams and more deliverables than anyone would like to count. You know how creative work gets made and what it takes to bring everything together.
You understand digital production, but you're equally comfortable working across film, social, print, experiential and other channels. You don't pretend to have every answer. You know enough to ask the right questions, recognize when something isn't right and bring in the right people who can help.
You can spot a problem before it becomes a crisis. And when things do go wrong, you don't just report what's happening. You understand the options, make decisions and help people move forward.
You have strong commercial judgement. You understand the relationship between scope, resources, budgets, timelines and quality, and you know how to balance them without losing sight of the work.
You're comfortable leading teams, but you know that good leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about bringing the right people together, creating clarity and helping them succeed.
Most importantly, you care about the work and the people making it. You know that great production isn't simply about getting things delivered. It's about making ambitious creative work possible.
