  • Oversee delivery across assigned products and workstreams, ensuring milestone commitments are met without compromising quality.
  • Establish and maintain portfolio-level roadmaps, resource plans, and milestone frameworks.
  • Identify and resolve cross-product dependencies, risks, and blockers, escalating to executive leadership when necessary.
  • Ensure consistent application of production standards and tooling across teams.
  • Act as the senior production voice in cross-functional and executive forums, communicating delivery status and risks.
  • Drive resourcing strategy for the production team, planning for growth, managing capacity, and developing talent.
  • Build onboarding and development frameworks for production talent.
  • Align ways of working with other teams across the organization.

Requirements

  • Proven track record building and leading high-performing production teams.
  • Deep expertise establishing production processes, tooling, and standards from the ground up in early-stage or high-growth environments.
  • Strong command of portfolio-level planning, including resource allocation, milestone management, risk frameworks, and cross-team dependency mapping.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, including regular engagement with executive and C-suite leadership.
  • Ability to operate fluidly between strategic leadership and hands-on production oversight.
  • Experience working across platforms, genres, or product types, adapting delivery models to different contexts.
  • Self-directed, able to operate effectively with limited oversight in a fast-moving technical and creative environment.
  • Background in UGC (preferred).
