We’re looking for an Executive Producer to step into a senior leadership role focused on a long-term, enterprise client partnership. This role is designed for a highly experienced producer with deep digital product delivery experience, strong client leadership instincts, and the ability to guide complex, ongoing work across multidisciplinary teams.
This Executive Producer operates with a high degree of autonomy and accountability. In this role, you’ll act as a strategic client partner and delivery leader—owning account health, product delivery workflows, and financial oversight while advocating for both the client’s goals and the creative and technical teams doing the work.
We are currently seeking candidates who are based in, or able to work primarily aligned with, one of the following West Coast metro areas:
San Francisco Bay Area
Seattle metro area
Portland, OR metro area
Los Angeles metro area
While Instrument supports distributed work, this senior-level role requires regular collaboration with enterprise clients, senior partners, and studio leadership, which is best supported through proximity to these hubs.
What You'll Do:
- Serve as a senior client partner, leading communication and client meetings in close partnership with a dedicated producer
- Establish and own overarching project schedules and workflows, collaborating with producers to build detailed plans with milestones and dependencies
- Build strong client relationships from day one, starting with stakeholder sessions and ongoing strategic engagement
- Proactively set and communicate internal goals to ensure projects stay on track and teams are aligned
- Partner with producers and discipline leads to distill client feedback into clear, actionable direction that supports project goals
- Own and maintain resourcing and staffing needs across your projects and accounts, proactively flagging gaps or availability
- Oversee financial management for projects and accounts, including SOW creation, project setup, financial tracking, and accurate, timely invoicing
- Monitor team morale and energy, contributing to a positive, supportive, and sustainable team culture
- Build and nurture long-term client relationships that help grow and deepen accounts over time
What You'll Bring:
- Extensive experience leading digital product work—such as platforms, tools, or large-scale web applications
- A high level of organization and attention to detail, paired with the ability to zoom out and think strategically
- Experience owning senior-level client relationships and instilling confidence through clear communication and follow-through
- A strong understanding of digital project lifecycles and how to structure processes that support successful delivery
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams across multiple workstreams
- A proactive mindset—you surface risks early, identify where support is needed, and help solve problems before they escalate
- Comfort adapting to existing processes or creating new ones when the situation calls for it
- Clear, thoughtful communication with both internal teams and client partners
- Your own perspective, style, and approach—bringing leadership, optimism, and purpose to the work
Pay Range
- The expected pay range for this position is $125,000-$200,000 depending on level for our base US Region 3*. We have three regional pay ranges that are adjusted for cost of living (US1 +15%, US2 +7.5%, US3 Base), *learn more about our pay philosophy and cost of living adjustments.
