Creative Lead, SPECS, Social

Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.

As a member of the Creative & Marketing team, you’ll help shape how SPECS shows up across luxury, fashion, design, and culture through distinctive, social-first creative work.

We’re looking for a hands-on social creative producer with deep luxury experience and a strong understanding of how to translate ideas into compelling content. You have a sophisticated visual eye, understand the creative codes and cultural nuances of luxury, and know how to develop elevated storytelling across video, designed assets, photography, and other social-native formats.

You’ve ideally spent meaningful time within a true luxury house or luxury-adjacent brand or publication, where you had meaningful ownership over the development and execution of creative content for social channels. You can articulate not only what great work looks like, but how you developed the concept, shaped the creative direction, aligned stakeholders, and brought the work to life—from early thinking through production, launch, and iteration.

• Direct shoots on set and guide photographers, directors, stylists, designers, creators, talent, and production teams.
• Take ideas from concept through delivery by developing treatments and briefs, building alignment, guiding production, and protecting the creative intent.
• Lead production logistics, including schedules, budgets, vendors, crew, locations, permits, talent, and post-production.
• Partner with creators, agencies, and external partners, while creating or editing content directly when needed.
• Translate luxury brand-building into technology and hardware storytelling that balances aspiration, innovation, design, and product.
• Bring knowledge of luxury, fashion, design, culture, creators, and emerging formats to create work for SPECS that feels credible, elevated, and unexpected.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Deep experience supporting creative direction and social content production, ideally within or alongside a true luxury brand.
• Sophisticated creative eye and strong taste across brand, design, art direction, photography, video, and storytelling.
• Ability to develop social-first concepts, treatments, and briefs, then direct execution across formats.
• Proven on-set direction and collaboration skills across creative teams, talent, creators, and production partners.
• Strong production instincts, including shoot logistics, location scouting, vendor management, budgets, schedules, and post-production.
• Experience managing creative, production, and social agencies from briefing through delivery.
• Hands-on content creation skills across photography, video, design, editing, or social-native formats.
• Strong judgment, organization, and communication skills, with the ability to balance creative ambition, practical constraints, and cross-functional input.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in design, marketing, communications, filmmaking, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of relevant experience across creative direction, content production, social, brand, or marketing roles in the luxury space.
