Director of Creative Production, Paid Social & Native (Remote)

About this role

About the Role Forbes Advisor is hiring a Director of Creative Production to build and run the production + post production engine that powers our paid social and native creative across every vertical (Health, FinServ, Insurance, Home & SMB). You will own the in-house Editor/Designer team and the Producer, DP/Shooter, and Crew roster that gets us from creative brief to launched ad at performance-marketing pace. The role reports into the VP Creative and partners with three Creative Directors who set vertical creative direction.

You will hire, develop, and retain a team of Editor/Designers (one combined role with both motion and static skillsets) and post production staff, source and manage a flexible roster of Producers and Shooters/Crew, and own the production craft across remote UGC, in-studio shoots, on-location work, and AI-generated content. The successful candidate is a senior production leader. You have run a paid social or DR creative production team before.

You can hire and develop generalist Editor/Designers and source contract production talent across the US. You have strong on-set instincts and have run shoots yourself. You direct DPs, coach non-actor talent, manage time and budget, and ship usable footage. Above all, you balance craft and speed at the volumes performance marketing demands. We are a human-led shop that uses AI to accelerate output without diluting craft, and you will be expected to operate that way from day one.

You can articulate where AI sharpens production workflows and where it weakens them. AI fluency is a baseline expectation. You already use it to improve the quality and efficiency of your team's work. RESPONSIBILITIES : Own end-to-end production for paid social and native creative across all four verticals (Health, FinServ, Insurance, Home & SMB). Hire, develop, and retain a team of senior Editor/Designers (combined motion and static skillset, generalist across categories) and post production staff.

Source, vet, onboard, and manage a flexible contract roster of Producers, Shooters, and Crew across the US. Source and manage freelance casting directors, and build and maintain a library of remote UGC creators to cast from at speed. Own shoot operations end-to-end: pre-production, casting, locations, on-set production, and post. Own post-production workflows, DAM and asset library standards, and the production-to-launch handoff.
