The Moving Picture Institute is seeking an impact producer to lead the design and execution of impact strategies that expand the cultural, educational, and policy influence of MPI’s film library, including documentaries, narrative features, and short-form projects. This role ensures that MPI’s films function as long-term assets for engagement, learning, and change—extending their relevance well beyond release and distribution windows.

Reporting to the vice president of marketing, the impact producer works cross-functionally with production, development, and distribution teams to align impact strategy with audience growth, brand positioning, and institutional partnerships. The role also collaborates directly with key film stakeholders—including filmmakers, investors, and film subjects—to ensure impact campaigns are strategically aligned, ethically grounded, and responsive to the communities represented on screen.

• Establish clear campaign goals, priority audiences, and influence-based outcomes for each project.
• Integrate impact planning into film marketing, distribution, and long-term audience engagement strategies.
• Identify opportunities to reactivate and extend the life of existing titles through targeted impact campaigns and partnerships.

• Serve as a strategic liaison between stakeholders and internal teams, ensuring transparency, trust, and alignment.
• Support investor and stakeholder engagement by clearly articulating impact goals, outcomes, and learning.
• Ensure impact strategies are ethically informed and respectful of the lived experiences and perspectives of film subjects.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with the Vice President of Marketing to align impact campaigns with audience development, publicity, and brand strategy.
• Partner with the Development team to support donor engagement, institutional partnerships, and funding opportunities connected to impact priorities.
• Work with Production and Distribution teams to ensure impact considerations inform release strategies and partner outreach.
• Provide strategic recommendations based on campaign data, stakeholder input, and field trends.

Strategic Partnerships & External Engagement

• Build and steward mission-aligned partnerships with nonprofits, policy organizations, educational institutions, cultural organizations, and community leaders.
• Develop partnership models that emphasize depth, sustainability, and shared outcomes rather than one-off engagements.
• Represent MPI externally as a leader in film impact strategy and engagement.
• Expand MPI’s national impact footprint through strategic alliances, and collaborations.

Measurement, Learning & Reporting

• Lead implementation and refinement of MPI’s influence-based impact framework across campaigns.
• Assess qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate effectiveness, learning, and long-term influence.
• Translate findings into actionable insights for marketing strategy, film development, fundraising, and stakeholder communication.
• Contribute to organizational reporting, including impact reports, case studies, and funder- and investor-facing materials.
