About Us
Neuemotion is an advertising agency that takes BIG brand marketing to definable social audiences with science-backed creative ideas. Our customers range from Fortune 100 companies to startups and small businesses. Our default mode of operation is “how can we help our clients succeed in their objectives?” Founded by Ted Harrison, Twitter & X’s former Head of Production, Neuemotion applies neuroscience to content marketing in a unique blend of science and art. Science-backed creative ideas. Built for human attention. That’s Neuemotion.

Job Overview
We’re looking for an Associate Director of Production to report directly to Neuemotion’s SVP of Production, who can own projects from kickoff through final delivery — at scale, across clients, and without losing the detail. This is a senior producer role with a strategic edge. You are not here to make the work — you are here to make the work happen and to build the systems that make it repeatable. You’ll sit between clients and every creative resource at Neuemotion and beyond — orchestrating execution across strategy, production, and creative teams to get work out the door at volume. You’ll manage timelines, budgets, and communication while driving production standards across a high number of concurrent workstreams. This is not a one-project-at-a-time role. You’re spinning up, running, and wrapping shoots simultaneously — scaling resources up, down, and sideways as the work demands. At Neuemotion, this role operates with full production autonomy. You’re embedded in the work — shaping how ideas come to life, identifying what’s performing and why, and moving projects forward without waiting for perfect direction.

Key Responsibilities

Production Ownership

Own projects end-to-end from intake through delivery across multiple clients and workstreams

Translate briefs into clear production plans, timelines, and resourcing

Identify risks early and solve for them proactively

Ensure creative ideas are executed efficiently without compromising quality

Project & Timeline Management

Manage a high volume of concurrent productions without losing fidelity on any of them

Build and manage detailed workback schedules across overlapping projects and pods

Keep teams aligned on priorities, deliverables, and deadlines

Manage budgets and track hours with precision

Source and manage freelancers, vendors, and production partners

Ensure the right team is applied to the right work at the right time

Shoot & Production Execution

Own multiple shoots concurrently at any scale — you’re standing each one up, staffing it, and running it simultaneously

Build and manage all logistics: crew, gear, locations, permits, schedules, and vendor relationships

Source and hire the right people for the job; you know who to call and how to get them

Ensure production days run on time, on budget, and at standard

Serve as the decision-maker on set — not a support role, not a co-pilot

Optimization & Systems Thinking

Identify what’s working across creative output and build systems around it

Guide teams through rapid testing, platform-specific adaptation, and creative iteration without diluting the original insight

Implement workflow improvements that drive efficiency at scale

Understand how content performs across platforms and adapt production approaches accordingly

Be the person everyone trusts to have the answer — or to go get it
