• Proactively manage project scope, timelines, risks, and dependencies to keep work on track.
• Monitor budgets, profitability, and financial forecasts; identify risks early and develop mitigation plans.
• Own day-to-day client communication, including review schedules, delivery expectations, and creative feedback loops.
• Partner with Heads of Department and Department Managers to balance client needs, creative quality, capacity, and delivery requirements.
• Lead and support production teams across the full project lifecycle.

• A proven ability to manage scope, schedule, budget, and client relationships on complex productions.
• Strong commercial awareness, financial accountability, and forecasting experience.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary production teams.
• Sound judgment and the ability to balance creative excellence with practical delivery needs.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Confidence making strategic decisions in high-pressure environments.
• Experience with production-tracking tools such as ShotGrid or equivalent.

• Experience working with international teams and distributed production environments.
• Experience supporting bids, resource planning, utilization forecasting, or studio-level planning.

You are a collaborative, highly organized production leader who builds trust with clients and internal teams alike. You know how to protect the work, the team, and the commercial success of a project—without losing sight of the creative ambition behind it.
