The Role

Linqia is searching for a seasoned Senior Producer to lead celebrity talent partnerships and high-production-value content for our most important clients. This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role for someone who has spent their career working inside the celebrity machine—navigating agents, handlers, and publicists, and delivering under the pressure of live or high-frequency production schedules.

Think: a show producer who has run weekly rotating-guest productions (talk show, lifestyle series, HGTV-style content), not an influencer coordinator. You understand how to move talent, manage talent ecosystems, and build the agency relationships that make elite content possible.

You will be the senior production presence in our New York / San Francisco office, working closely with senior leadership and serving as both a doer and a developer of the production team around you.

What You'll Do

Production Leadership

• Lead end-to-end production on high-profile campaigns: pre-production planning, on-site execution, and post-production delivery.
• Manage the cadence and logistics of multi-shoot, rotating-format productions — including events, live and studio-style content, and branded series.
• Serve as the senior on-site production presence, functioning as producer, talent handler, and project lead simultaneously when needed.
• Develop and standardize production processes, vendor relationships, and pricing frameworks that scale with the business.
• Partner with editorial, creative strategy, and client service teams to ensure content meets both creative and commercial objectives.

Celebrity Talent & Agency Relationships

• Own and expand relationships with top-tier talent agencies (UTA, WME, CAA, and boutique firms), negotiating directly and proactively building a pipeline of high-value talent.
• Serve as the senior point of contact for celebrity talent, handlers, publicists, and legal/business management throughout the engagement lifecycle.
• Manage all contractual considerations: compensation, scheduling, usage rights, approval processes, and contingencies.
• Build and maintain a sourcing playbook for identifying and securing celebrity talent aligned to specific client briefs and budgets.
• Anticipate and navigate the complexity of high-profile talent with calm and experience.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Act as a subject matter expert for celebrity production best practices, advising internal stakeholders on feasibility, cost, and execution strategy.
• Collaborate with the Talent Partner team on creator and agency relationships, supporting the broader initiative to build proactive talent pipelines.
• Provide regular reporting to leadership on production status, talent relationships, and emerging opportunities.

What We're Looking For

Experience

• 7+ years of production experience, with significant time in environments involving celebrity or high-profile talent.
• Proven background in talk show, live/studio, lifestyle, or event production—video-forward formats with high cadence, rotating casts, and real-time problem-solving.
• Direct experience working with talent agents, publicists, handlers, and legal/business management.
• Track record of building agency relationships and sourcing talent proactively, not just reactively.
• Experience supervising junior producers or production coordinators.

Skills & Attributes

• Exceptional relationship builder—warm, credible, and trusted by talent and their teams.
• Calm under pressure with a "the show must go on" mentality; thrives in high-stakes, fast-moving environments.
• Strong negotiator with the ability to protect client interests while maintaining talent goodwill.
• Highly organized with excellent project management instincts—can hold multiple productions at different stages simultaneously.
• Collaborative and generous with knowledge; sees team development as part of the role, not a distraction from it.
• Entrepreneurial and self-directed—comfortable setting your own benchmarks and driving toward them without constant oversight.
• Must currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area and be available to commute to the San Francisco office 3 times per week; occasional travel to client shoots and events nationally.
• Must currently reside in the New York City area and be available to commute to the San Francisco office 2 times per week; occasional travel to client shoots and events nationally.

Why This Role

Linqia is growing its investment in premium, celebrity-driven content at a pivotal moment. This role is an opportunity to build something—not just execute someone else's playbook. You'll have direct access to senior leadership, real influence over how the production function evolves, and the chance to work on campaigns with some of the most recognized brands and talent in the country.

If you've spent years inside the celebrity production world and want to bring that experience to a fast-growing company where your work is seen and your relationships are valued, this is the role.
