This will include working closely with Creatives, CGI Artists, Photographers, Retouchers & Film Makers to take ownership of all aspects of production & post‑production processes.

Along with the opportunity to develop your producer skills, this role offers great opportunities for career progression as the Content Studio expands and evolves.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to work with a suite of awesome household name global client – we can’t say who – but they’re amazing.

In this role you will:

• Budget, estimate, schedule, and manage production across several concurrent brands and projects
• Manage all aspects of day‑to‑day production in a CGI‑led studio environment
• Proactively communicate and manage expectation with clients and client service teams around all aspects of production and project delivery
• Identify and clearly communicate project resource requirements in a consistent, accurate and timely manner
• Work with Resource Managers and Producers in other global studio locations to proactively solve capacity challenges
• Forecast, request, book, and on‑board freelance resource, when necessary
• Negotiate costings with external providers, ensuring their costs align to budgets and expectation
• Manage all aspects of project documentation management, including estimates, PO’s, NDA’s, MSA’s etc.
• Manage multiple third‑party supplier relationships

You will have:

• Experience gained within a CGI‑led studio environment, ideally within a brand or packaging‑centric agency
• Experience of pre/post‑production & shooting of video content would be highly advantageous
• The ability to craft and review SOWs with experience in accurately identifying project risks
• Ability to quickly and effectively draft indicative project budgets in advance of concept approval
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to direct a team while promoting a positive morale in a fast‑paced, delivery‑driven environment
• Proficiency in project management tools such as Shotgrid, Jira, Trello etc
• A point of view on the tools required by teams to ensure consistency in best practice for production management – what to use when, and why
• Ability to manage, coach and lead teams of production artists and direct reports
• Ability to outline and develop best practices and processes – a leader, not a follower

When working for Marks you will enjoy an excellent base salary, along with an outstanding suite benefits including :
