The Role

Digital Pulp is looking for a passionate and talented Senior Producer to lead development of creative/technical solutions and innovative brand experiences for our clients. Our ideal candidate is more than an expert in project management, but also someone who can champion product strategies that will move our client's business forward.

This is a contract position with potential for conversion to staff. Note that we love cover letters; get special consideration by telling us why you think you're a good fit for this role.

• Manage the feedback and revision cycles with the client, ensuring our creative team has clear direction
• Review and edit project functional requirements to ensure they align with client expectations and business needs
• Manage the budget and schedule from idea to launch, including collaboration with the project team to come up with solutions to scope creep
• Discuss the technical implementation approach with the front-end and back-end development teams, and then explain the pros and cons to non-technical stakeholders
• Manage ongoing interdisciplinary project meetings to foster vital team collaboration and efficient use of project hours
• Hold daily Scrum meetings and sprint planning sessions
• Maintain project resource bookings for your projects, and flag resourcing conflicts early
• Assign and manage workflow through our JIRA project management system
• Provide regular progress reports, both internally and to our client
• Serve as a communication hub for the overall project effort, inspiring the team to produce the smartest and most creative solutions

You

• Exemplary verbal and written communication skills
