The Creative Production Manager acts as the operational lead and storytelling guardian for the barre3 creative team. Reporting to the Director of Product, this role orchestrates the end-to-end production of premium digital workouts, brand marketing campaigns, and digital content that powers our omnichannel growth strategy.

As a leader, you bridge the gap between creative vision and consumer-centric digital execution. You ensure that every piece of digital content provides a seamless, intuitive client experience across platforms—serving a consumer who relies on tech-enabled flexibility to fit mindful fitness into a busy life. You partner directly with the Videographer to execute shoots, bringing a grounded, collaborative, and steady presence to the set to optimize team workflows and unlock the best, most authentic performances from our on-camera talent. Partnership with Product Managers is key to coaching Online Instructors, empowering them to reflect our mindful approach and create a seamless class experience for our consumer.
