Responsibilities

• Pioneer the New Workflow: You will not just oversee production; you will reinvent it. Lead the integration of Monks.Flow and proprietary AI tools into everyday operations, blending the speed of machines with the taste of human talent.
• Tech-Enabled Craft: Bridge the gap between artists, producers, and creative technologists. You must understand the client's tech stack and how to leverage it to create content that is “authored, not just automated.”
• Future-Proofing: Continuously assess and implement new ways of working. You are responsible for ensuring our production capabilities stay ahead of the curve, moving from traditional timelines to the client’s speed.
• Oversee a massive variety of outputs: heavy live-action (broadcast & social), deep experiential activations, high-end animation, and scaled content production. You ensure epic execution across every format.
• Global Orchestration: Manage a dedicated internal team distributed globally, while seamlessly partnering with the broader Monks Content Studio for overflow and specialized needs.
• Quality Control: You are the final barrier against mediocrity. Ensure that “execution is everything” and that we never ship work that doesn’t meet the client’s grade—clear, human, and useful.
• Executive Partnership: Serve as a primary point of escalation and partnership for stakeholders.
• Commercial Health: Manage the financial health of the production department. You are responsible for scoping, vendor contracts, and ensuring we maximize profitability while delivering award-winning work.
• Vendor Ecosystem: Curate and manage relationships with top-tier external vendors, directors, and production partners. You ensure we have the best talent on speed dial.
• Build the Bench: Recruit and mentor a team of hybrid producers—staff who can pivot from a six-figure shoot to an AI-generated social workstream with ease.
• Foster Maker Culture: Instill a culture where “making” is celebrated. Encourage your producers to be creative problem solvers who say “how we can” rather than “why we can’t.”

Requirements

• Experience: 15+ years of hands-on production experience, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership role managing large teams (30+).
• AI Fluency: You don’t just know about AI; you use it. You have a vision for how GenAI changes the economics and creativity of production.
• Multi-Disciplinary: Deep experience across live action, experiential, and digital. You must be comfortable discussing set design for an event one minute and render pipelines for a digital demo the next.
• Global Tech Client Scale: Experience working with massive tech clients or global brands in a fast-paced environment is non-negotiable. You understand complex product areas and matrixed organizations.
• Operational Savvy: Strong grasp of production finance, legal contracting, and global resource management.
• Soft Skills: You are a “protector of vibes.” You remain calm in the chaos, you negotiate with empathy, and you lead with a people-first mentality.
