Exec Producer - mat cover contract
We're looking for an experienced Executive Producer to join a fast-paced creative production team for a 9-month maternity cover.
This is a hybrid role, with 2-3 days per week working from our London office. Unfortunately, we cannot consider fully remote applications for this position.
This is a senior role for someone who knows how to turn ambitious creative ideas into brilliant, achievable productions and can keep people, budgets, timelines and clients moving in the right direction when things get busy.
This is not a broadcast production role. We're looking for someone with strong agency, branded content, advertising or creative production experience, who is comfortable working across multiple clients, fast-moving briefs and varied creative outputs.
You'll lead projects from pre-production through production and post, acting as the senior production lead and key client contact. You'll also manage and mentor Producers across the team, work closely with Creative, Strategy and Client Services, and help continually improve how the team works.
You'll:
Own end-to-end production across live-action, animation and mixed-media projects, from initial creative concept through to final delivery.
Manage and mentor Senior Producers, Producers and Junior Producers, creating a supportive, accountable and high-performing team.
Partner with Creative & Strategy to turn ambitious ideas into smart, practical production plans.
Manage budgets, schedules, resources and workloads, spotting risks and opportunities early.
Build trusted client relationships, provide clear communication and navigate challenges calmly and confidently.
Bring production expertise to new business pitches, including feasibility, scoping, ballpark budgets and client presentations.
Develop workflows, documentation and best practice that make production smoother, smarter and more efficient.
Be the calm, solutions-focused person in the room when plans change, pressure builds or something needs fixing quickly.
We're looking for someone with:
6+ years' experience in production management or producing, ideally within a creative agency, advertising, branded content or production environment
Proven end-to-end production experience across live-action, animation and/or mixed media
Strong agency experience is highly desirable, particularly working across multiple clients, creative briefs and fast-paced production environments
Experience managing and mentoring production teams
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects and deadlines
Strong experience across budgeting, scheduling and resource management
Excellent client-facing and stakeholder management skills
A calm, proactive and solutions-focused approach to problem solving
Strong understanding of production workflows, compliance and industry best practice
Confidence collaborating with Creative, Strategy and Client Services
Experience with production management systems and a willingness to embrace new tools and technology
We're looking for someone who combines creative thinking with production rigour, someone who can protect the quality of the work while keeping the realities of time, budget and resources firmly in view.
Please note: this is not a broadcast/TV production role. Experience in creative agencies, advertising, branded content or commercial production is particularly relevant.
If you're an experienced Executive Producer with a strong agency and multi-format production background, we'd love to hear from you.
