Draft, negotiate, and manage production contracts, statements of work, talent agreements, and other vendor documentation in partnership with legal teams when needed.

Source and evaluate new production partners and independent talent, expanding a reliable network of trusted creative resources.

Track talent usage rights and licensing requirements across paid social, television, radio, and other channels, ensuring renewals and permissions remain compliant.

Manage multiple concurrent productions, from fast-turn social content to larger brand and product initiatives, while identifying resource constraints and escalating needs early.

Improve production processes, workflows, and systems to increase efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and support growing content volume.

Support broader creative operations through project tracking, stakeholder communication, compliance workflows, and proactive blocker removal.

Incorporate AI tools and workflows into production processes where they can generate measurable improvements in speed, quality, or operational efficiency.
