ABOUT THE POSITION

With the relaunch of our brand look and feel in 2023, our marketing creative has worked hard to differentiate Mountain Hardwear and affirm our position as both a tenured yet forward positioned brand - and we need a sharp, driven, experienced, and outrageously organized producer to continue seeking our wilder path.

Working closely with the MHW Brand Creative Director, you will be the main point of contact for our 20+ seasonal external creative partners regarding contract negotiations, procurement, designing and driving project timelines, managing budgets and scope of work, orchestrating photo and video shoots (in the wild and in studio), receiving and organizing assets on Content Hub, and ensuring successful delivery of seasonal assets across all channels to internal and external partners.

• Communicate clearly and kindly with internal MHW internal 'clients and partners', external project team members, and post-production personnel as needed to complete each job.

• Ensure all final images and video are sized, formatted, named, placed, and tracked accurately.

• Display and maintain fluency with necessary computer programs and keep up to speed with new technology in the field of digital and film photography and video.
