WORK WITH US

We are currently hiring for the role below.

PRODUCER (PROJECT-BASED)

Spilt Milk Collective · NYC-based, with travel · Starting immediately

Spilt Milk Collective is a culinary production studio creating food, beverage, and event experiences for brands, weddings, and private clients — from intimate dinners to large-scale outdoor activations. We’re hiring a Producer to own the nuts and bolts of our productions end to end, beginning with a flagship project this fall and continuing into ongoing work.

This is a project-based role with real room to grow into a core seat on our team. We’re looking for a right hand — someone who runs production so well that things move forward without being asked.

The role

  • Own vendor, rental, and staffing coordination from first outreach through on-site execution — complete, decision-ready, handled.

  • Work directly with chefs, rental companies, and venues to source, schedule, and solve problems in real time.

  • Set up and run kitchens in outdoor and non-traditional venues, including spaces with no existing kitchen infrastructure.

  • Build and run timelines, run-of-show, and the production details that keep a multi-vendor event on track.

  • Represent SMC to clients in writing and on calls — clear, polished, trusted to send without review.

  • Run point on-site: load-in, setup, service, breakdown, and the live decisions of event days.

  • Bring your own systems. We want someone who improves how we work, not just executes inside it.

You

  • 3+ years in event production, catering, or high-end hospitality, including large-scale productions (required).

  • Experience producing outdoor events and building out kitchens in non-traditional spaces is a strong plus; live-fire cooking experience is helpful.

  • Fluent coordinating rentals and working hand-in-hand with chefs and kitchens.

  • A strong, gracious writer who can represent a brand to high-touch clients without oversight.

  • Organized, resourceful, and genuinely calm on a fast timeline.

  • Takes full ownership, communicates directly, and brings ideas — including pushing back when something can be better.

  • Wedding and/or multi-day production experience a strong plus.

Availability

  • Immediate remote availability for coordination over the coming weeks.

  • Full availability across September, including early- and late-month dates and some weekends.

  • Travel availability this fall; comfortable on-site and on your feet through long event days.

Details

  • Project-based to start, with ongoing project work to follow for the right person.

  • Project fee starting at $4,000 – commensurate with experience, with travel and accommodations covered for any on-site work.

  • Google Workspace required; Canva and Dubsado a plus.
