We're hiring for a Production & Delivery Director as part of our Liveposter production team in London.

Purpose of the Role

Liveposter has become the industry leader globally in Dynamic Out of Home, producing data optimised creative and making brands more relevant & effective in the OOH space. We define dynamic as campaigns that use data, or pre-agreed scheduling rules, to optimise which content is displayed on to digital Out of Home screens.

Put simply, dynamic is telling the right story at the right time - not the same story all the time. We believe most Digital Out of Home (DOOH) campaigns could benefit from a dash of data and dynamism, for the simple reason that dynamic content is inherently more engaging than its static equivalent. Data and triggers allow us to determine which brand or execution plays where or when. The feed itself can be anything from ambient data such as the weather or location, to social content like tweets or your own proprietary business information.

At Liveposter, we're experts in using data triggers to serve up the most relevant message and large-scale dynamic engagement is where we really excel.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage communications during the campaign scoping and production process to ensure external agencies and internal stakeholders from Creative, Media, and Client are aligned.
• Line management of the production and delivery team including goal setting and career progression (3-4 people)
• Ad hoc creation of simple project documentation, such as timelines, specifications, and content matrices.
• Lead on production and delivery of campaigns using our custom CMS platform. This includes creating posters, integrating data files, delivering ad containers to media owners, scheduling posters, creating and assigning data triggers, conducting testing, and troubleshooting any issues.
• Become a trusted and credible ambassador for both Liveposter and Dynamic within Posterscope & Dentsu.
• Support of post campaign documentation where required.

Qualifications + Skills

• Extensive experience in advertising production with previous experience from creative or media agency with an emphasis on OOH, digital display or video production.
• Strong Excel skills and well as a solid understanding of key Adobe Suite tools including Illustrator, Photoshop.
• Proactive, self-starter with a positive can-do attitude.
• Strong logical thinking skills, detail orientated and able to deal with a lot of data.
• Confident communication skills, experience dealing with a wide variety of internal teams and clients.
• Technical background or coding understanding would be a plus although not mandatory.

What we offer

• This is a permanent role.
• The team is based in our London office but operates under flexible working arrangements. The team are currently in the office one/two days per week.
• As well as a competitive salary, you'll enjoy a benefits package that you can tailor to your needs.
