You Are: The Associate Manager, Creative Production sits within our Internal Creative Agency and plays a vital role in the delivery of our creative programmes. This is primarily a producing role, someone who takes clear ownership of high and medium complexity projects, brings strong production craft, and operates with increasing independence. You will work closely with senior Creative Producers and Creative Directors and creative teams to ensure projects are scoped well, timelines are grounded in reality, and creative intent is protected from brief through to final delivery. You bring a genuine understanding of the creative process, a bias for solving problems, and the communication skills to build confidence with everyone around you. The Work: Project Delivery Own end-to-end delivery across a portfolio of high and medium complexity projects—managing scopes, timelines, budgets, and risk with transparency and precision. Lead project scoping and readiness for your assigned work, ensuring briefs are clearly defined, resourced, and signed off before production begins. Maintain clear, proactive communication across stakeholders—managing expectations, flagging changes early, and keeping projects moving with confidence.

Develop and deepen your production craft across experiential, live events, and brand activation formats. Cross-Functional Collaboration Act as a connector across creative, strategy, and client-facing teams—ensuring clear communication and no gaps in handoffs. Participate in stakeholder meetings and cross-functional planning sessions, representing the PM perspective with clarity and confidence. Contribute ideas to improve team processes, systems, and workflows—bringing a practitioner's view to how we get work done. Support the onboarding of new team members and help embed production norms and standards as the team grows. Here's what you need: A minimum of 5 years of production experience, with a focus on experiential, live events, or physical brand activations. Bonus points if: Demonstrated ability to own and deliver high and medium complexity projects independently, from scoping through to execution. A genuine understanding of the creative process—you work fluidly with designers and directors and advocate for the work with confidence. Proven ability to manage multiple projects concurrently without losing attention to detail or creative standards. Experience working within an in-house team or internal agency environment (agency background welcome). Working knowledge of production tools (e.g., Adobe Workfront) and openness to applying generative AI tools in daily workflows. Clear, confident communicator who builds trust with stakeholders across levels. Comfortable navigating ambiguity—you can find a path forward even when the brief is still forming.
