• Oversee the full production lifecycle, including estimating, resourcing, timelines, budgets, execution, and delivery.
• Establish and maintain scalable production workflows, processes, and standards across disciplines.
• Partner with creative, strategy, technology, and account teams to translate ambitious ideas into executable production plans.
• Work closely with finance and leadership on forecasting, budget management, pipeline visibility, and revenue planning.
• Anticipate and resolve production challenges before they impact delivery or client relationships.
• Lead, mentor, and develop producers and production team members, building a high-performing and scalable production function.
• Help evolve Thinkingbox's production offering and identify new capabilities, partnerships, and opportunities that strengthen our position in the market.
