From concept through to final delivery, we collaborate with brands to explore, imagine and define their future vision.

You’re a natural problem solver who sees every challenge as an opportunity to shine. You enjoy collaborating with artists to bring productions to life.

• Coach and Mentor members of the Production team informally through productions and formally through our coaching program
• Collaborate with production leads (ex, HOP, EPs) to architect production plans that are realistic and achievable
• Responsible for launching projects on time and within budget
• Navigate and manage changes to project scope, negotiating budget adjustments directly with clients

• Act as a primary point of contact for the client and the team. Own all current details and information related to the production
• Nurture client relationships, searching for opportunities to grow project scope and identify future opportunities
• Run a client call/ presentation independently as needed without the support of an EP/CD
• Read client contracts, pointing out unclear areas and assisting in redlining
• Proactively collaborate with the Head of Production to refine best practices as related to production process milestones
• Ensure that your project teams consistently practice a polished process methodology (e.g., Dailies, Kickoff Meeting, Project Actualisation, Wrap, etc.).
• Track actuals and manage project budgets, POs and invoices, flagging concerns to EP/MD/HOP
• After launching a production, ensure that the budget is completed through

actualisation
