Production Manager

The Production Manager runs the floor build and the technical package on site, owning load-in, the crew call, and the day-of standard for festivals, activations, and live events.

As Production Manager you turn the plan into a built environment. You own the on-site build from load-in to strike: sequencing crew, vendors, and freight, holding the schedule, and keeping the show safe and on standard. You report to the Production Director and work alongside the Project Manager and Technical Director.
