Creative Production Lead

The Community You Will Join

Airbnb's Marketing Creative Studio is a team of storytellers dedicated to bringing the Airbnb brand to life through world-class content. We produce animation, film, and design work that spans product launches, social content, and globally visible campaigns. This role sits at the heart of that studio, working closely with cross-functional partners across Program Management, Communications, and Marketing to deliver high-impact content at the speed of Airbnb's product cycles.

The Difference You Will Make

As a Creative Production Lead, you will serve as a dedicated, full-time producer embedded within our studio team — owning the end-to-end production of content for product launches, social announcements, and digital events. You will be the connective tissue between creative and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring high-quality animation and film content is delivered on time and at the highest standard. Success in this role means flawlessly executing the October launch cycle and becoming a trusted production partner across the organization.

• Partner closely with cross-functional teams- including Program Management, Communications, and Marketing - to align on release moment cycles and ensure production meets launch needs
• Manage animation-heavy workstreams while flexing into film production as needed, adapting to the demands of a fast-paced studio environment
• Support design production work, bringing fluency across formats to contribute to a range of content types within the studio
• Find, source, and manage diverse production partners to support the work.
• Educate stakeholders and agencies on processes and guidelines for projects.

• Work in partnership with creatives, producers, program managers, product design stakeholders, legal and other XFN partners to drive projects to completion.
• Ensure a highly organized workflow that shows operational excellence at every stage of the project.
• Plan and execute Integrated Productions (e.g., film/video, social, design, illustration, animation, product demos, etc.)
