  • Advise on all key production and delivery decisions that impact budget and schedule, including problem solving any issues that arise during production. 
  • Lead and continue to scale our production team.

  • Oversee insurance, permitting, guild matters, crew payroll, production legal, and production safety protocols.
  • Work with our Content Management team to create efficient post-production workflows.
  • Manage the build-out of a new production studio.

What you’ve accomplished:

  • 12+ years of production management experience, with at least 7 years in digital media. 
  • 5+ years of experience in a leadership role, including experience in scaling production teams and building processes from the ground up.
  • Experience successfully collaborating with cross-functional teams (from brand to marketing to product) at a digital publisher.
  • Deep knowledge of production best practices and a strong network of production personnel.
  • Inspiring manager who helps train, mentor and bring the best out in their team. 
  • Creative problem solver who looks around the corner to anticipate issues before they arise. 
  • Superhuman organizational skills —nothing slips through the cracks.
  • A passion for the quality of programming you produce.
  • A self-starter who has an entrepreneurial knack for building things from scratch.
  • Exceptional project management and organizational skills required to handle multiple projects at once.
