Join to apply for the Senior Producer role at McGarrah Jessee

McJ is looking for a senior producer who is equal parts creative partner, problem-solver and expert of execution. We need a team member to own their own projects and run with them. You’ll be the engine that brings bold ideas to life — championing the work, uniting teams and finding smart, strategic ways to turn vision into reality. Any previous experience deep inside a food-related account would be awesome.

From kickoff to delivery, you own the process. With a sharp eye on budgets, timelines and executional excellence, you’ll lead the charge with urgency, transparency and a relentless drive to move things forward. You know how to navigate challenges, inspire collaboration and protect the integrity of great ideas — all while keeping things on time, on track and on budget.

No mean people need apply. We have awesome clients and a great team. Keeping the good vibes rolling is very important.

What You’ll Do:

• Champion innovation in every project, building workflows that let ideas thrive and creativity shine.
• Partner closely with the creative team to push boundaries and elevate our craft.
• Stay on top of the latest production partners, platforms and tools that align with our agile, cost-effective, excellence-driven model.
• Lead production on all creative assets — video, photo, social content, experiential activations, websites and beyond.
• Oversee social/digital/mobile content from pre-pro to post, managing every detail alongside our account teams.
• Build and manage clear production timelines, budgets and expectations with internal teams, vendors and clients.
• Evaluate creative concepts and shape the smartest production approach — raising flags constructively and collaboratively.
• Lead the search for directors, editors, music houses, photographers and other creative partners.
• Negotiate with vendors and collaborate with the business affairs team on talent rates, clearances and usage rights.
• Troubleshoot blockers and communicate solutions clearly and effectively.
• Provide regular updates on schedules, budgets and deliverables to keep everyone aligned and informed.
• Mentor junior producers and champion diverse talent both within the agency and the wider industry.
• Keep project assets organized and accessible for everyone who needs them.
  
  
  

What You Bring:

• 6+ years of production experience in an agency environment, with a deep understanding of union guidelines (SAG-AFTRA, DGA, AFM, etc.)
• Strong creative instincts and a passion for high-quality execution
• Sharp problem-solving skills and a collaborative, resourceful mindset
• A love of detail, planning and making the impossible possible
• Exceptional communication skills — written, verbal and everything in between
• A genuine interest in all things creative — from tech to culture to craft
• Technical know-how across TV, digital, print, social, experiential
• Proficiency in tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Dropbox, Hive, Workamajig — and a willingness to learn more
• Respect for great work and the people who make it
