The Studio Producer is responsible for end-to-end production management of campaign, brand, and ecommerce photography and video. This role owns intake prioritization, scheduling, and SKU-level accountability from the point of studio receipt through final asset delivery and upload readiness.

The Studio Producer bridges creative vision and operational execution, ensuring assets are delivered on time, on brand, and technically accurate. In addition to production ownership, this role serves as a people manager for key post-production and asset-focused team members, strengthening accountability and reducing operational strain across the studio.
