  • Partner closely with Creative, Strategy, and Ops to align production with direction, timelines, and budgets
  • Ensure all work is delivered on time, on budget, and at the expected level of quality
  • Oversee vendor selection, contracting, and production negotiations in partnership with Finance and Legal
  • Build and scale production capabilities, including hiring and managing producers over time
  • Provide direction and oversight to internal producers and production partners
  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, and production quality across the organization
  • Drive visibility and clarity across production timelines, risks, and dependencies

REQUIREMENTS
