Media Services is Vanguard’s in-house media production and post-production team. We deliver video, photography, audio, and live experiences you’d expect from a commercial production company, powering enterprise initiatives across advertising, branded content, social, PR, executive communications, and broadcast.

The Executive Producer will lead a team of Producers to help drive outcomes for Marketing and Communications partners. This role will report to the Head of Media Services and will oversee end-to-end content creation in close collaboration with the Production Lead and Post-Production Lead, ensuring projects meet strategic objectives and creative standards. The Executive Producer will manage planning, scoping, production, delivery, and reporting while evolving workflows, vendor relationships, and technology to improve efficiency and quality.
