[Hiring] Production Lead - Campaigns @Atlassian

Role Description

The Producer Team Lead is the senior production authority within Atlassian’s in-house Creative Studio. You personally lead the studio’s most complex, high-visibility work, from first brief through final delivery. You also raise the bar for the Producers around you by mentoring them on live projects, setting the production standard and being the person they turn to when a project gets hard.

You’ll partner directly with the Head of Creative Operations to define how Producers work: the processes, practices and tools that make the studio’s production predictable, scalable and fast. You’ll also work closely with Resource Management so the right people are on the right work at the right time.

You’re the connective tissue between creative vision, business priorities and operational reality. You’re equally comfortable advising a VP on trade-offs and stepping in to unblock a critical project. Your impact comes from the quality of your own delivery and from how much better the team’s work gets because you’re on it.

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end production on the studio’s largest and most complex integrated campaigns and creative programs across brand, product marketing and demand generation.
• Own scoping, resourcing, scheduling, budgeting, forecasting and delivery for your projects, running multiple concurrent workstreams at different stages.
• Partner with the Head of Creative Operations to define and evolve Producer processes, playbooks and tooling, including intake, scoping, estimating, status reporting and delivery standards. Pilot new approaches on your own projects and roll out what works across the team.
• Partner closely with Resource Management on forecasting, capacity planning and staffing. Give early, accurate demand signals and scope assumptions, and help resolve conflicts between competing priorities.
• Mentor and coach a group of Producers on live projects: pair on scoping and planning, review plans and risks, model stakeholder and vendor management, and give feedback that builds their skills and judgment.
• Partner with Creative Directors and Design leadership to shape scope, approach and feasibility early, and to translate creative vision into clear plans, milestones and deliverables.
• Act as the senior production partner to Marketing leadership. Set expectations, advise on trade-offs and communicate status and risk to VP-level stakeholders.
• Manage external vendor and agency relationships on your projects, including SOW negotiation, timelines and quality review. Share what works so the wider team benefits from your network and rate knowledge.
• Define and uphold production standards for brand, legal, accessibility and technical compliance. Establish review checkpoints, clean handoffs and delivery documentation that others can adopt.
• Lead by example in adopting AI-assisted production workflows. Pilot tools, document where they add value and where human judgment is essential, and share guidance with the team.
• Serve as the escalation point for the team’s hardest production problems.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in creative production, ideally in an in-house creative studio or integrated marketing environment.
• Track record of delivering complex, multi-workstream programs across film, design, digital and integrated campaigns.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and raise the performance of peers and junior producers without formal authority.
• Strong command of production financials: budgeting, forecasting, bids, scope and change control.
• Experience defining, improving or building production processes, playbooks and tool workflows, not just operating within existing ones.
• Experience partnering with resource management or capacity planning functions to balance demand, staffing and delivery.
• Proven vendor and agency management, including SOW negotiation and a strong network of external partners.
• Confident communicator and influencer who can advise senior business partners and creative leaders and hold a position under pressure.
• Experience with project and resourcing tools (Jira, Asana, Float or equivalent).
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities.

Nice to have

• Experience in B2B SaaS or technology marketing.
• Familiarity with Atlassian’s product suite (Jira, Loom, Confluence, Trello) in a production workflow.
• Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted creative tools (Figma Buzz, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Runway) into a production workflow.
• Experience leading global or distributed creative production.
