Line Producer

Microsoft’s Creative, Advertising & Integrated Marketing team is looking for a Line Producer to join the Creative Production organization supporting Windows, Surface and Services.  

Reporting to the Head of Creative Production, you’ll play an integral role producing creative campaigns across film, photography, social, digital, content and other marketing channels.  

You are first and foremost a maker and problem solver: an experienced producer who understands what great creative work requires and knows how to build the right production approach around the ambition of the idea.  

You bring a deep, current network across the production community, with relationships spanning production companies, directors, photographers, crews, studios and specialist creative partners. You have line experience producing films, photography, and commercial level work across a range of small to large projects. Just as importantly, you have the judgment to know who is right for the work. You can assemble a nimble team for a fast-moving piece of content, identify emerging talent for an unconventional idea, or bring together world-class partners for a major global production.  

This is a hands-on production role. You’ll partner closely with creative teams from early development through production and final delivery, bringing resourcefulness, rigor and calm to the process. You’ll help us find smart ways to make ambitious work, balancing creative possibilities with budget, schedule and production realities without losing sight of what makes the idea great. 

Required qualifications:

• 4+ years experience in professional production environment (e.g., lighting, shooting, audio recording, web production, writing), post-production environment, or broadcasting (e.g., local news) OR equivalent experience.

Additional or preferred qualifications:

• Significant professional experience as a Line Producer, Agency Producer, Integrated Producer or equivalent within an advertising agency, production company, in-house creative organization or related production environment.  

• Demonstrated experience producing high-quality consumer advertising, film, photography, content or integrated creative work from initial scoping and bidding through production, post-production and final delivery.  

• A deep and current network across the production ecosystem, including strong relationships with production companies, directors, photographers, crews, studios and specialist production partners across a range of scales and production models.  

• Strong production judgment and the ability to identify the right talent, partners and approach for the creative idea, whether the work requires a small, agile team or a complex, high-profile production.  

• Strong command of production budgets, schedules, bidding, logistics and commercial production workflows, with the ability to balance creative ambition with responsible production management.  

• Experience collaborating closely with creative teams and external partners, with a reputation for being resourceful, solutions-oriented and calm under pressure.  

• A genuine passion for creative work, production craft and finding smart ways to make ambitious ideas possible.   

• Experience producing nationally or globally recognized consumer advertising and creative work.  

• Experience across a range of production models and scales, including live action, photography, social content, motion, animation and VFX.  

• Experience producing with leading and emerging directors, photographers, production companies, studios and creative talent.  

• Strong knowledge of contemporary production culture and an active interest in discovering new talent, partners, technologies and approaches.  

• Experience producing domestic and international work with complex production requirements.  

• Experience working in technology, entertainment, gaming, lifestyle or other culturally relevant consumer categories is a plus.
