About this role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Lead Producer, Special Projects to lead high-volume campaigns and productions across multiple brands, collaborators and creative disciplines. These projects often involve varying stakeholder groups, approval structures, timelines and ways of working - requiring a producer who can bring clarity, structure and momentum to fast-moving productions.

At this level, you are a senior production leader who combines deep hands-on production expertise with the ability to guide others, shape ways of working and drive continuous improvement. You will lead high-impact campaigns and fashion-forward editorial productions from early creative development through delivery, while helping define scalable production workflows, operational processes and ways of working across a growing portfolio of collaborative projects.

You are trusted to make complex decisions, navigate high-pressure situations with confidence and act as a key production partner to creative and marketing leadership - while still remaining close to the work.

Your Mission

  • Lead end-to-end production of high-profile campaigns and fashion-forward editorial content across film, photography, digital, social and emerging formats, with the ability to adapt approach and rigour across both agile low-budget shoots and complex large-scale productions.
  • Own multiple productions or work streams simultaneously, balancing creative ambition, budget, timelines and risk.
  • Translate creative concepts into robust, scalable production strategies in partnership with creative and marketing teams.
  • Anticipate production challenges early and proactively propose solutions and trade-offs.
  • Leverage the brand’s and collaborator's cultural equity to secure world-class talent and visionaries under strict budget parameters.
  • Act as the strategic bridge between avant-garde guest creatives and internal fiscal realities - ensuring groundbreaking execution without budget overruns.
  • Architect production strategies for high-concept, culturally defining projects that maximize on-screen value through resourceful asset allocation.

Your Story

  • A senior production leader with experience in campaign, content, or commercial production (brand, agency and/or production company side).
  • Highly fluent across the full production lifecycle, with repeated success leading complex productions.
  • Comfortable taking accountability for decisions that affect multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Known for remaining calm, decisive and solutions-focused in high-pressure environments.
  • A strong communicator who can influence senior stakeholders without micromanaging.
  • Curious, entrepreneurial and motivated to improve how production works - not just deliver against briefs.
  • Possess the cultural fluency and artistic vocabulary to collaborate directly with world-renowned designers, artists and elite directors.
  • Highly resourceful with lean budgets; expert at optimising crew sizes, usage rights and cross-functional budgets to achieve a premium look.
  • Comfortable navigating the distinct workflows and strong viewpoints of world-class talent while keeping shoots grounded and on schedule.

What We Offer On is a place that is centered around growth and progress. We offer an environment designed to give people the tools to develop holistically – to stay active, to learn, explore and innovate. Our distinctive approach combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose.

On is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a work environment that is fair and inclusive, where all decisions related to recruitment, advancement and retention are free of discrimination.
