• Plan resources, pilot workflows, and test scalable content formats to build brand engagement.
• Identify where in-house capabilities can enhance storytelling and brand visibility.

About You

• 10+ years in senior production roles across creative agencies, entertainment, branded content, or digital media.
• Proven track record managing production from concept to delivery across TV, digital, social, and branded content.
• Experienced in managing large budgets, agency partnerships, and tight timelines.
• Strategic thinker with experience evolving production models and building internal capabilities.
• Skilled in balancing outsourced and in-house production, with good judgment on investments.
• Highly organized, solutions-focused, and operationally excellent.
• Collaborative leader with experience influencing senior teams and cross-functional collaboration.
