Digital Production Manager Jobs in Park Ridge, IL

This role reports into the Executive Producer.
This is a hybrid role based in our Chicago office 3 days a week. 
The salary for this role is between $80k and $90k
SUMMARY
The Digital and Print Producer is the strategic production lead who helps digital work move from concept to launch with clarity, speed, and control. For owned agencies and direct-studio clients, this role ensures digital projects are not just well managed, but built for real-world execution across platforms, placements, and timelines that rarely get simpler once the work begins. This role is especially valuable in a scaled production model, where digital campaigns often involve multiple asset types, fast-moving approvals, evolving specs, and a high volume of outputs across display, CRM, web, landing pages, social, and modular content systems. The  Producer helps clients feel that the work is in capable hands from the start, with the right structure, the right questions, and the right people aligned to get it done well.
The Producer is the connective tissue between the ask, the team, and the final output. They are the ones making sure digital work does not just move, but moves intelligently. They translate briefs into production plans, flag missing information before it becomes a problem, align timelines to actual build realities, and help the studio manage shifting priorities without letting the work turn sloppy or reactive. In an Omnicom Production environment, this role matters because digital jobs rarely arrive clean. They come with partial specs, changing deliverables, last-minute revisions, platform quirks, and everyone pretending that all of this is somehow normal. The Producer keeps the machine steady. They partner with designers, production artists, developers, QA, and senior production leadership to ensure the work is scoped correctly, assigned properly, and tracked all the way through release. They understand enough of the build process to ask smart questions, enough of the workflow to keep things moving, and enough of the client relationship to know when clarity, speed, or pushback is needed. In a scaled studio model, this role is not just about shepherding one digital project at a time. It is about helping the studio handle volume with intention. The Producer helps create repeatable digital workflows, stronger handoffs, cleaner timelines, and a better experience for both the team doing the work and the clients counting on it. When they are doing their job well, the work feels smooth, the communication feels sharp, and the studio looks like it knows exactly what it is doing.

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Manage digital production projects from intake through launch across HTML5 display, CRM, web, landing pages, modular content, rich media, and related digital executions.
• Review incoming briefs and identify missing information, incomplete specs, timeline risks, and production dependencies early.
• Build and manage production plans, schedules, and workflows that support scaled digital delivery across multiple assets and channels.
• Partner with digital developers, designers, production artists, and QA teams to ensure projects are set up correctly from the start.
• Translate creative intent and client needs into clear digital production requirements and execution plans.
• Monitor project status, manage milestones, and keep stakeholders informed throughout the production lifecycle.
• Support resource planning and workload management across digital assignments, helping the studio balance priorities and team capacity.
• Troubleshoot workflow issues, timing challenges, and handoff gaps that impact digital delivery.
• Ensure final deliverables are reviewed, approved, and released according to platform requirements and internal standards.
• Help define and improve digital production processes, templates, and best practices that support efficiency at scale.
• Maintain documentation related to specs, timelines, revisions, approvals, and delivery requirements.
• Serve as a calm, informed production partner to both internal teams and external stakeholders during fast-moving digital engagements.

COMMON TOOLS:
Workfront, Excel or Google Sheets, PowerPoint or Google Slides, Teams, Outlook, Slack, Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud for review and collaboration, QA and browser testing tools, project tracking systems, DAM or file-sharing platforms such as Egnyte, Box, Frame.io, and working familiarity with HTML5, email, web, and digital ad platform requirements.
HOW THEY ARE MEASURED:
On-time digital delivery, clarity and accuracy of production plans, ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, reduction in workflow friction and missed handoffs, quality of communication with clients and internal teams, efficiency in moving digital work from brief through release, partnership with developers and creative teams, and contribution to stronger, more scalable digital production operations
