About the Role
The Commercial Creative and Production team at Microsoft develops advertising and social content. The Social Creative Producer owns the production process for integrated advertising content and social-first creative, managing projects from brief through delivery. This role requires familiarity with line production and the full content-production lifecycle, collaborating with various internal and external partners to bring creative concepts to life while managing practical details.
Responsibilities
- Own assigned advertising and social projects from brief through final delivery, creating a clear production approach for each channel, format, audience, and market.
- Translate creative concepts into executable scopes, schedules, budgets, staffing plans, and production pathways while preserving the core idea.
- Anticipate dependencies and production risks early, present options and trade-offs, and keep partners aligned through timely decisions and communication.
- Build and maintain project plans that cover milestones, owners, approvals, reviews, deliverables, versioning, and launch dates.
- Coordinate internal teams, agencies, production companies, freelance talent, and post-production partners to keep work moving and responsibilities clear.
- Manage multiple concurrent assignments with sound judgment, adjusting plans as priorities, creative direction, platform needs, or production conditions change.
- Apply a working understanding of major social platforms, placements, aspect ratios, content behaviors, and publishing requirements to production planning.
- Plan efficiently for modular content, cutdowns, adaptations, creator or influencer components, rapid-response opportunities, and channel-specific versions.
- Use AI-enabled tools and automation responsibly to improve planning, documentation, versioning, and production workflow without compromising quality, security, or brand standards.
- Partner with line producers and production companies on bids, estimates, treatments, schedules, staffing, locations, equipment, logistics, and production-day requirements.
- Review production plans for feasibility, appropriate resourcing, contingency coverage, and alignment with the approved creative, scope, schedule, and budget.
- Support pre-production meetings, shoot preparation, production execution, and post-production handoff, escalating material issues with clear recommendations.
- Maintain delivery specifications and organized handoffs so final assets, project files, documentation, and approved source materials are complete and reusable.
- Develop and manage project budgets, estimates, purchase orders, statements of work, change orders, invoices, and reconciliations in partnership with finance and procurement.
- Evaluate agency and vendor proposals for production value, completeness, schedule, cost, and risk, and support negotiations with appropriate partners.
- Track budget status and scope changes throughout the project, maintaining accurate records and communicating variance before it becomes a delivery issue.
- Build brand, legal, accessibility, privacy, localization, and platform reviews into the production schedule rather than treating them as final-stage checks.
- Coordinate with business-affairs and legal partners on talent, music, intellectual property, releases, clearances, usage terms, and expiration requirements.
- Provide concise, accurate status reporting on scope, schedule, budget, risks, decisions, and delivery across the projects you own.
- Capture production learnings and use them to improve future estimates, partner selection, workflows, templates, and delivery standards.
- Bring strong production judgment, curiosity, accountability, and calm problem-solving to creative work that may move quickly or change direction.
- Contribute practical guidance, templates, partner recommendations, and production knowledge that strengthen the broader producer community.
- Build trusted relationships across creative, marketing, social, operations, finance, procurement, business affairs, legal, agencies, and production partners.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, Economics, Public Relations, or related field AND 1+ year(s) integrated marketing (e.g., digital, relationship, social media, campaign), event management, marketing strategy, business planning, marketing operations, or related work experience OR equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in advertising production, social-first content production, integrated production, post-production / video edit, related experience OR equivalent experience.
- Production experience within an advertising agency, creative agency, production company, in-house brand or studio, or a combination of these environments.
- Demonstrated ownership of creative projects from brief and scoping through production, post-production, approvals, versioning, and final delivery.
- Familiarity with line-production practices, including production bidding, estimates, schedules, crew and vendor planning, locations, shoot logistics, insurance, permits, and wrap.
- Experience producing content for major social platforms and managing multiple formats, cutdowns, aspect ratios, and deliverable specifications.
- Experience managing project budgets, purchase orders, statements of work, change orders, invoices, and cost reconciliations.
- Working knowledge of talent, music, intellectual-property, usage-rights, release, and clearance considerations in an advertising production context.
- Written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present production plans, risks, options, and trade-offs clearly.
- Experience collaborating with creative directors, designers, writers, strategists, marketers, social teams, agencies, production companies, and post-production partners.
- Experience using work-management, review-and-approval, digital-asset-management, or AI-enabled production tools to improve workflow and delivery.
