As a Lead Creative Producer on Pinterest’s House of Creative team, you will lead end-to-end creative production for complex, high-impact marketing programs across multiple channels and workstreams. This role is built for a producer who is equally strong at production execution and in-house cross-functional leadership. You will partner closely with Creative, Marketing, Product, Comms, Media, Legal, Finance, and external production partners to move work from early concept through final delivery.
Success in this role is not only getting the work made. It is creating clarity around how the work gets made: establishing a shared plan, keeping milestones and dependencies visible, aligning the right decision-makers, surfacing risks and tradeoffs early, and ensuring cross-functional teams understand what is happening, what is changing, and what is needed from them.
What you’ll do:
- Lead creative production from concept through delivery across large, integrated marketing campaigns and programs spanning film/video, photography, social, digital, experiential, and other brand expressions
- Set production strategy across multiple concurrent programs, including scoping, resourcing, budgets, schedules and vendor planning
- Build integrated production plans that clarify roles, milestones, dependencies, decisions and handoffs for cross-functional partners
- Serve as a key connective point across in-house Creative, Marketing, Product, Comms, Media, Legal, Finance, and other partner teams, creating clarity around roles, milestones, dependencies, decisions, and handoffs
- Partner with senior creative and marketing leaders to pressure-test ambition, feasibility, timing, and investment and translate changes into clear production implications and tradeoffs
- Identify risks early, recommend solutions and escalate decisions at the right time to protect quality, timelines and budget
- Lead external production partners, including agencies, production companies, photographers, directors and specialist vendors
- Advocate for the highest level of creative craft while balancing business priorities, production realities, budgets, and timelines
- Use AI thoughtfully to accelerate appropriate production workflows such as planning, research, synthesis, documentation, and repetitive tasks while maintaining critical judgment, accuracy, confidentiality, and ownership of final outcome
- Mentor and support other producers and contribute to the evolution of production standards, tools, and practices across House of Creative
What we’re looking for:
- A minimum of 8 years of experience in integrated creative production across in-house brand or marketing organizations and/or agency teams
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as marketing, communications or production, or equivalent experience
- Robust hands-on production experience across large, multi-channel campaigns, with deep knowledge of film/video production and strong fluency across photography, social, digital, experiential, and other integrated formats
- Demonstrated success operating within, or deeply embedded with, complex in-house creative and marketing organizations
- Experience leading highly cross-functional programs and creating alignment across teams with different goals, timelines, and decision-makers
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills, including a track record of proactively keeping teams aligned on schedules, milestones, dependencies, changes, and decisions
- Strong production judgment with the ability to independently manage budgets, scopes, resources, vendors, timelines, and risk
- Ability to influence without authority, navigate ambiguity, and know when an issue should be resolved at the working level versus escalated for leadership decision
- Experience managing external agencies and production partners while maintaining strong internal relationships and accountability
