• Coordinate the production process from ideation through execution, ensuring all deliverables meet quality standards.
• Manage timelines, assets, and workflow across internal teams and external partners.

• Collaborate closely with designers, writers, and strategists to ensure cohesive creative output.
• Provide clear communication and updates on project status, challenges, and needs.
• Ensure all creative deliverables align with project strategy and cultural context.
• Support budget tracking, vendor coordination, and production logistics when needed.
• Maintain a solutions-oriented approach and contribute creative problem-solving throughout the project.

Performance & Collaboration

• Demonstrates strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Works effectively under tight timelines and across multiple workstreams.
• Collaborates positively with team members and contributes to a supportive, creative work environment.
• Takes initiative, offers ideas, and actively participates in team discussions.
• Adapts to evolving project needs and maintains a flexible, proactive mindset.

Qualifications & Experience

• 4–8 years of experience in creative production, content creation, or related roles within media, creative agencies, culture/arts organizations, or similar fields.
• Strong understanding of creative workflows and production processes (digital, content, events, or multimedia).
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects, timelines, and multiple deliverables efficiently.
• Excellent communication skills in English; Arabic is a strong advantage.
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners.
• A passion for creativity, storytelling, and culture-driven projects.
• Familiarity with arts, culture, heritage, or experiential projects is a plus.

About the Project

This role supports a multidisciplinary initiative within the arts and culture sector, requiring a blend of creativity, coordination, and cultural sensitivity. The Creative Producer will play a key role in bringing creative ideas to life and ensuring seamless execution.
