THE JOB

The Senior Technical Producer is a strategic and detail-oriented leader responsible for managing the execution of projects across diverse technologies and service offerings. This role oversees the full project lifecycle-from intake and briefing to development, QA, and final deployment-ensuring that timelines, budgets, and quality standards are met while balancing both client expectations and internal team needs.

In addition to leading the day-to-day management of project schedules, costs, and deliverables, you take a broader view by overseeing multiple projects within a client's scope, guiding Producers as needed, and mentoring junior team members. You continuously refine processes to drive efficiency and advocate for best practices while maintaining flexibility to adapt when challenges arise.

With expertise in CRM, email marketing, web/app development, and a platform-agnostic mindset, you are comfortable navigating a wide range of technologies and leading teams through the creative and technical process. Though this role primarily focuses on internal production, it is highly client-facing, managing approvals, reviews, and final scheduling to ensure smooth execution from concept to launch.

AS A PERSON, YOU ARE:

• Highly organized. You oversee a high volume of deliverables moving at a high pace, and always know where everything is at, and what's next. You anticipate speed bumps before they occur, and move obstacles to ensure seamless workflow.
• A skilled negotiator. You run internal and client reviews of the work at every iteration. You juggle competing demands with ease and diplomatically navigate any issue, scope, or schedule change while maintaining version control and timeline.
• Tactful. You're an effective, comfortable communicator. You read the room and align the team and client towards a shared objective. You delicately maneuver challenging situations, lead by example, and know when to go the extra step or stay steady. In short, you captain the fleet.
• In-tune. You have elevated soft skills and a deep understanding of each discipline that inspires creativity across the team, working/collaborating effectively with different diverse professionals all while juggling various projects with unique stakeholders.
• Inspired. You thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and know how to inspire a project team to follow. You have a proven track record leading teams. You proactively block and tackle while keeping an eye on the big picture and anticipate future challenges.
• Steady. You predict and preemptively eliminate budding conflicts before they arise while resolving current conflicts and challenges through proactive feedback, kind conversation, and problem solving. You navigate and balance the trust of your internal team and the needs of your stakeholders.
• Curious. You're eager to stay on the cutting edge of digital trends, tactics, and seek to inform where we take the work next. You're always on the lookout for the next opportunity and build the foundation to make it a reality.
• Confident. You know how (and when) to have the hard conversations, with internal teams and clients alike, and know when to elevate issues to discipline and account leadership while providing thoughtful solutions.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

• Manage and track budgets of $1M-$3M which include complex projects, initiatives, or SOWs that span one or multiple lines of business. You are accountable for managing the project budget in accordance with client and agency expectations.
• Build meaningful relationships with clients rooted in reliability and trust to support day-to-day needs and build a solid foundation for organic growth.
• Proactively partner with Production Leads, Account Supervisors, and Technology Stakeholders to forecast work and drive planning and budgeting conversations specific to your line of work. You are actively seeking opportunities for studio growth and facilitating those opportunities.
• Exercise discretion and good judgment in representing the company, advocating on behalf of the client while supporting your team and preserving agency work. Foster strong relationships and trust with clients through anticipating needs while serving as a knowledgeable, reliable and prompt communicator.
• Own and facilitate project management of all assigned projects within our project management tool according to our creative process: information gathering, brief evaluation/review, working to distill and communicate client needs and goals to the team executing the work, creating workback schedules, and ensuring that all schedules stay on track and on budget.
