Instrument is a design and technology company. We build brands, products, and experiences that move businesses forward—by making the complex simple.
For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with companies like Google, ServiceNow, Uber, Eventbrite, and ŌURA, helping them navigate change, launch new ideas, and grow with intention.
Our work spans Brand, Marketing, and Product, but what defines us is how we work. We bring strategy, design, and engineering together from the start, moving quickly from idea to execution and refining as we go. We aim to do great work and be great to work with, because both matter.
We’re a collaborative, hands-on team with roots in Portland and New York and a distributed presence across the U.S. and Europe. We build teams around the needs of the work, staying nimble without sacrificing craft.
We value curiosity, perspective, and continuous learning, and we’re committed to building an inclusive environment where people can do their best work.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
We’re looking for an Executive Producer with deep experience leading content, campaign, and brand-focused digital engagements for large-scale clients. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of creative production, operational leadership, and client partnership — someone who can confidently guide complex work from early scoping through final delivery while helping shape and grow an expanding area of our business.
You’ll play a key role in supporting a long-standing enterprise technology client as we continue to expand beyond product work into broader campaign, content, and brand initiatives. This is an opportunity to help define how this work is scoped, structured, and delivered while partnering with an established, trusted client team.

- Build trusted client relationships through clear communication, proactive leadership, and thoughtful problem solving
- Navigate difficult client conversations with confidence, protecting team health, timelines, and scope integrity while maintaining strong partnerships
- Develop proposals, scopes of work, staffing plans, and rate structures for new and expanding initiatives
- Lead project intake and help define scalable delivery processes for content and campaign-focused workstreams
- Guide multidisciplinary teams through ambiguity while creating clarity, momentum, and accountability
- Mentor and support Producers across engagements while contributing to the broader health of the production discipline
- Collaborate with leadership to expand and evolve client partnerships and service offerings
What You'll Bring
- Extensive experience leading campaigns, brand and content —such as platforms, tools, or large-scale web applications
- Strong experience managing enterprise-level clients and large cross-functional teams
- Proven experience leading campaign, content, and brand initiatives — ideally for technology or B2B-focused clients
- Experience building and managing retainer-based client relationships and ongoing delivery models
- Strong operational expertise across budgeting, forecasting, staffing, scoping, and financial management
- Confidence developing proposals, project plans, and delivery approaches for net-new initiatives
- Ability to navigate high-pressure client situations with tact, emotional intelligence, and strong communication skills
