Producer Hybrid

The Producer within the Design Team at Battenhall manages the full end-to-end lifecycle of creative and design projects, serving as an adaptable, multi-skilled lead across video production, print, design, and events. Beyond standard production duties such as managing budgets, vendor relationships, and on-site logistics, this role actively steps into broader project management to own the delivery of creative outputs from initial briefing to final execution.

During downtime between shoots, the Producer gets hands-on with project management by liaising with client handling teams, streamlining client feedback, managing external design freelancers, and ensuring timelines and deliverables are met. As a responsive, client-facing point of contact when needed, they support all logistics and supplier needs across the full spectrum of creative and design work to guarantee smooth, successful project outcomes.
