PRODUCTION MANAGER - INTEGRATED RESOURCES

Description

We're looking for a Production Manager, Integrated Resources to become a vital part of our Event Production team. This role is ideal for an operations-minded professional who thrives behind the scenes, bridging the gap between internal systems and flexible freelance talent.

What You'll Do:Project Estimation & Documentation

• Create project estimates, technical drawings (CAD), and documentation.
• Coordinate labor and equipment availability with internal Resource Managers.
• Organize and hand off clear documentation packages to execution teams.

Operations & Systems Management

• Act as the main point of contact for contract/flex team members who don't have system access.
• Enter and manage POs, estimates, and change orders in ERP and financial platforms.
• Ensure data alignment across sales tools, scheduling, and production documents.

Support for Freelance Teams

• Help source, vet, and onboard freelance Producers, PMs, and Technicians.
• Coordinate credentialing, documentation, and orientation to our workflows.
• Serve as the go-between for freelancers and internal teams—keeping communication clear and projects on track.

Process Improvement & Cross-Team Coordination

• Work with Production, Sales, and Design teams to ensure smooth internal workflows.
• Maintain rate cards and support centralized bidding processes.
• Promote consistency in processes—especially in work led by external partners

Event Support (Occasional)

• Travel up to 30% for live event execution when needed to support major moments or cover gaps in coverage.

What You Bring:

• 10+ years of experience in technical project management or live event production.
• Deep understanding of AV, scenic, logistics, and labor coordination.
• Proficiency in Vectorworks (or similar CAD software), ERP systems, and Excel.
• Outstanding organizational skills and a proactive, solutions-first approach.
• A team player comfortable supporting others without being front-and-center.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Love keeping the engine running and making others shine.
• Can translate creative input into technical documentation.
• Are energized by process, detail, and centralized coordination.
• Have experience supporting freelance or distributed workforces.
• Take pride in service—both to internal colleagues and external partners.
