Executive Producer

As the Executive Producer based in our London office, you will work on a wide variety of projects and content campaigns requiring 360 production expertise (photo, video, digital, print, social, web3, etc) for our global portfolio of brands. You will also oversee the production and post-production teams, supporting their projects, budgeting, and overall team management.

Reporting directly to the Global VP Head of Production & Activation, the Executive Producer will oversee a specialised production and post-production team on a variety of commercial campaigns with advertisers and Condé Nast’s global portfolio of brands. The ideal candidate is an experienced, senior producer with proven experience executing work that brings brands closer to culture. You have a strong passion for visual storytelling, and will apply a discerning point of view to our most valued advertising partners.

At Condé Nast, cross-functional collaboration is vital and success relies on “walking the walk” in both advertising and editorial settings. In partnership with the creative team, activation team, sales team and other internal partners, the Executive Producer will help ensure our productions tell a compelling story for both our advertising partners and Condé Nast brands. Of equal importance is a strong approach in budgeting, timelines and white-glove client service.

You will need to bring a sound base of cultural and creative references and a hard-working collaborative attitude to every project. The ideal candidate will be able to maintain a smooth and efficient process across all projects while upholding Condé Nast’s brand voices, creative standards and codes throughout.

As this role will oversee the Production and Post-Production team, you will need to bring experience managing a team. You will be responsible for ensuring problems are solved, our best creativity is put forth and ultimately contributing to the growth and success of the team.
