What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a live production manager?

To thrive as a Live Production Manager, you need strong organizational skills, in-depth knowledge of event production processes, and experience in managing technical crews, often supported by a degree in production, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with audio-visual equipment, lighting and sound systems, stage management software, and safety certifications like OSHA are typically required. Outstanding communication, problem-solving, and leadership abilities help you coordinate teams and adapt quickly to real-time challenges. These skills ensure seamless event execution, safety, and high-quality audience experiences in dynamic live environments.

What are the typical challenges a live production manager faces during live events, and how can they be managed?

Live Production Managers often face challenges such as last-minute technical issues, tight timelines, and coordinating multiple teams under pressure. Managing these challenges requires strong organizational skills, clear communication, and the ability to make quick decisions in high-stress situations. Successful managers typically prepare detailed run-of-show documents, conduct thorough rehearsals, and maintain close collaboration with technical crews, talent, and vendors to ensure seamless execution. Building contingency plans and fostering a collaborative team environment are also key to managing unexpected problems effectively.

Job description

Production Manager

Seals Productions

Seals Productions is looking for an experienced Production Manager to take ownership of the technical execution of our live events.


This is a senior, hands-on leadership position for someone with significant real-world experience in live production. You don’t need to be an expert in every discipline, but you need to understand how professional audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and power systems work together—and know what good execution looks like.

Responsibilities

  • Take sold productions from contract through execution and load-out
  • Develop technical plans, equipment needs, staffing requirements, and production logistics
  • Lead production crews and make on-site technical decisions
  • Coordinate audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and power
  • Work directly with clients throughout the production process
  • Manage individual show budgets and make cost-conscious production decisions
  • Ensure equipment is properly prepared, deployed, returned, and cared for
  • Work with our warehouse and technical teams to prepare upcoming productions
  • Troubleshoot problems and keep productions moving
  • Maintain Seals Productions’ standards for quality, professionalism, and safety

Experience & Technical Knowledge

5–10+ years of professional live-production experience preferred.

Candidates should have substantial experience managing live events and working with multiple production disciplines, including:

  • Audio
  • Lighting
  • Video / LED
  • Mobile staging
  • Rigging
  • Power distribution
  • Production logistics

You do not have to be an A1, L1, V1, and staging expert all at once.

However, you need enough experience to understand what each department is doing, communicate effectively with specialized technicians, identify problems, and make informed decisions.


Technical knowledge and real-world production experience will be evaluated during the hiring process.

Who We’re Looking For

We want someone who is confident enough to make things happen and humble enough to accept criticism.

You should be:

  • A strong leader and decision-maker
  • Fun, upbeat, and positive
  • Organized and dependable
  • Comfortable taking ownership
  • Calm under pressure
  • Able to lead people without having an ego
  • Willing to jump in and get the job done when necessary

Safety is our #1 priority. You must have the judgment to recognize unsafe situations and the confidence to stop or change a plan when necessary.

Schedule & Travel

Seals Productions produces corporate events, festivals, church events, and other live productions throughout the region.

Travel typically occurs 2–3 times per month, depending on the season. When not on-site, you’ll work with our team preparing upcoming productions and equipment.

Growth Opportunity

We’re looking for more than someone who can run shows.

The right person will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility within Seals Productions, with the potential to eventually oversee much of the company’s day-to-day operations.

We’re looking for someone who wants to take ownership, build a great team, and grow with the company.


Company Description

Seals Productions is a full-service live event production and A/V integration company based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We provide professional audio, lighting, video, mobile staging, and technical production services for corporate events, festivals, churches, concerts, and special events throughout the Southeast.

In addition to live production, we design and install permanent audio, video, lighting, and control systems for churches, businesses, venues, and other facilities.

Since 2013, we’ve built our company around doing things right, taking care of people, and delivering work we’re proud to put our name on. Our culture is built around three things: Character, Competence, and Chemistry.

We’re a growing, hands-on company that works hard, solves problems, has fun, and takes ownership of the job. We’re looking for great people who want to grow with us and help take Seals Productions to the next level.
