Job Description

- Own Complex Productions: Lead large scale campaigns, content shoots, productions, and cross functional projects from planning through to delivery.

- Experience mentoring team members and leading delivery across large accounts.
- A proactive mindset, sharp problem solving skills, and the ability to stay calm when everything suddenly becomes 'priority one'.
