The Impact You Will Make

The Production Director at BPI plays a mission-critical role in transforming strategy into impact through bold, beautifully crafted content. Reporting to the Head of Production, this role leads high-profile, integrated campaigns across corporate reputation, advocacy, and public-affairs clients — from short-form social to broadcast-quality productions.

You’ll serve as a strategic partner to creative leadership, ensuring that ideas are executed with precision, efficiency, and excellence — on time and on budget.

  • Salary range : $125,000 - $150,000
  • Location : Expectation to work from one of our offices (NY, DC, Chi, LA, SF) at least 3x a week

What the Day-to-Day Looks Like

  • Lead End-to-End Production : Oversee all aspects of video and digital production, from ideation and scripting to delivery, ensuring excellence at every phase.
  • Drive Operational Excellence : Build scalable production systems, templates, and vendor frameworks that improve efficiency across BPI’s creative teams.
  • Budget & Financial Management : Lead cost estimates, resource allocation, and reconciliation for high-value campaigns; ensure profitability and transparency.
  • Vendor & Partner Leadership : Identify, vet, and manage top-tier vendors — directors, DPs, editors, animators, and photographers — across multiple markets.
  • Mentor & Elevate the Team : Guide producers and project managers through complex shoots and integrated campaigns; foster a culture of craft and accountability.
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines : Work hand-in-hand with Creative, Strategy, Account, and Media leadership to align production with creative intent and client goals.
  • Ensure Creative & Brand Integrity : Safeguard creative excellence, compliance, and consistency across deliverables.
  • Innovate & Evolve : Champion new tools, AI-assisted workflows, and social-first storytelling that expand BPI’s production capabilities.
  • Client Partnership : Serve as a trusted senior point of contact for clients — providing counsel, clarity, and calm under pressure.
  • Requirements

    What You Bring

  • 8–10 years of senior-level production experience in an agency, production company, or in-house environment.
  • Proven success leading complex, integrated campaigns across video, digital, and experiential.
  • Deep expertise in budget management, production contracts, and vendor negotiation.
  • Strong creative instincts — able to translate abstract ideas into tangible, high-impact content.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted production, social-native storytelling, and evolving platform formats (Reels, Shorts, TikTok, YouTube).
  • Ability to balance creativity with structure — managing multiple high-stakes timelines simultaneously.
  • Collaborative, solutions-driven leadership style and strong client communication skills.
  • Experience with corporate, advocacy, or public-affairs content (preferred but not required).
  • Benefits

    BPI offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including  100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) program with employer match up to 4%, generous time off for vacation, $50 monthly phone reimbursement, unlimited sick time, and 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents .
