YOUR ROLE IN A NUTSHELL

Hogarth is looking for a passionate and proactive Content Producer (entry mid wt) to join our dynamic Sydney-based Content Studios department.

Supporting more senior production experts, you will be the central point of contact for clients, expertly managing expectations, schedules, budgets, assets, and project scopes. A high level of attention to detail is paramount, from creative development and shoots to post-production and financial reporting. You will ensure projects are thoroughly mapped, have clearly defined schedules, are profitable, and always deliver a high standard of quality.

You will collaborate closely with specialists from our Client Delivery and Creative & Strategy Chapters. With a deep interest in all forms of content production, you will bring strong proficiency in marketing content, integrated communications, post, photography, social, and OOH.

• Ensure timely review and approval of timelines, estimates, and scope of work for new projects by senior production leads.
• Actively manage and mitigate risks and issues throughout the project lifecycle, escalating to senior production leads when necessary to resolve blockers.
• Monitor project burn rates and proactively flag any overruns, supporting post-project reconciliations for analysis and reporting of projected vs. actual time/budget/profitability.
• Ensure projects within your remit are delivered profitably through accurate estimating, timely reconciliation, job closure, and minimising write-offs against set targets.
• Recognise and flag instances of missed revenue and scope/timing overruns, sharing learnings for continuous improvement..

Collaboration & Leadership

• Develop trust-based relationships with relevant client contacts, crew, supplier, and agency partners.
• Work collaboratively with all content studio members to produce the best possible work within agreed budgets and timeframes.
• Support and collaborate with colleagues, offering mentoring and guidance to more junior colleagues.
