LinkedIn Media Productions (LMP) is evolving. What began as a best-in-class live events and broadcast production team is becoming a modern, in-house creative production engine—partnering directly with Marketing, Brand, and Content teams to bring campaigns to life across video, social, events, and emerging formats. We're looking for a Director of LinkedIn Media Productions to lead that transformation. This role is about building and leading a world-class team of creative executors—exceptional editors, motion designers, and producers—while defining how LinkedIn delivers high-quality, high-volume creative work with speed, consistency, and craft. You'll partner closely with creative and marketing leads, but your core mandate is clear: turn ideas into outstanding work, at scale. This is a highly visible role for a hands-on production leader who thrives at the intersection of craft, systems-building, and execution—someone equally comfortable running large-scale production pipelines and diving into the details of creative output. Responsibilities Production Leadership & Transformation: Lead the evolution of LMP from a live events and broadcast organization into a modern creative production partner for marketing, defining how production operates across campaigns, tentpoles, social content, and always-on storytelling. Creative Production Excellence: Own end-to-end execution across video, motion, live experiences, and post-production, maintaining a high bar for editorial craft, motion design, pacing, and storytelling quality. Scaling Output & Modern Workflows: Design production systems and modular, repeatable workflows that enable speed, volume, and consistency without sacrificing quality across formats and channels. AI & Innovation: Introduce and scale AI-assisted production tools and workflows to accelerate iteration and output, keeping LinkedIn at the forefront of modern creative production. Scalable Production Models: Establish production approaches that support both high-touch flagship work and high-volume content systems, translating campaign ideas and creative direction into polished, channel-ready output. Team Leadership & Culture: Build and lead a high-performing team of creative executors—editors, motion designers, producers, and post-production specialists—creating an environment where craft is valued, output is prioritized, and teams move quickly without friction. Talent Development: Establish clear roles, expectations, and growth paths that attract and retain top-tier production talent. Operational Oversight: Oversee production planning, resourcing, budgets, and vendor/contractor ecosystems, ensuring all work is delivered on time, on budget, and at a consistently high standard of quality. Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner closely with Marketing, Brand, and Content teams to ensure alignment on priorities, timelines, and deliverables, balancing competing demands across tentpoles, campaigns, and ongoing content needs. Creative Partnership: Act as a trusted execution partner to creative leadership, bringing discipline, clarity, and feasibility to the work while supporting key decisions on vendors, talent, and production approach. Performance & Insights: Leverage performance data and feedback to continuously refine formats, workflows, and output quality, establishing clear metrics for production effectiveness, efficiency, and creative impact. qualifications Basic Qualifications 12+ years of experience in media production, post-production, and creative production leadership. 8+ years of experience leading hands-on creative production teams (edit, motion, video, events)..
