Job Description:

Who We Are We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do. We are an entrepreneurial business – not a traditional “ad agency.” That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We’re unapologetically ambitious! We are looking for a Producer to join Translation’s McDonald’s team! This role is based in Brooklyn, New York with four days in-office and one day remote. What You'll Do At Translation, Producers are vital to bringing culture-shaping work to life.

You’ll support creative excellence while delivering on time and on budget—ensuring each production runs smoothly from pre-pro to final wrap. Represent Translation in McDonald’s Integrated Agency Team (IAT) and collaborate with all IAT agency producers to execute Tier 2 and Tier 3 work; whether that be unique adaptations or direct adaptations of the general market campaign. Lead small-to-mid-sized campaigns and independently manage all phases of production with oversight as needed. Collaborate cross-functionally with all departments to ensure the best creative solutions align with production realities. Build and manage detailed production calendars, track timelines, and coordinate key milestones from concept through delivery. Maintain control of the production budget, with responsibility for estimates, reconciliations, and wrap documentation. Support the evaluation of concepts and ideas to assess feasibility and recommend production approaches. Source, evaluate, and negotiate with vendors and partners to bring the strongest creative teams to the table. Manage productions with attention to quality, efficiency, and creative alignment. Ensure projects adhere to financial policies and wrap procedures. Champion inclusive production practices by proactively identifying and supporting underrepresented creators and collaborators. Travel for production and attend post sessions as needed. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Translating high-level creative concepts into tangible, impactful results. Proven ability to independently manage campaigns of varying scale and complexity. Consistently earn the trust of internal teams, vendors, and clients through clear communication and follow-through. Confidence in presenting and discussing production approaches, costs, and challenges. Ability to think quickly, adapt under pressure, and solve problems on the fly. Familiarity with union and non-union production, including SAG and non-SAG talent. Exceptional organizational and multitasking skills, with precision in budgeting and scheduling. Team-oriented, collaborative, and aligned with the agency’s mission and values. Passionate about elevating culture, embracing innovation, and bringing diverse voices into the work. Minimum Qualifications 5–7 years of experience in production, preferably at a creative or culture-focused agency. A portfolio of work that includes both small and mid-sized productions demonstrating increasing responsibility and ownership. After-hours work and overnight travel required for shoots and post.
