Productions Manager information

What does a productions manager do?

A Productions Manager oversees the entire production process in manufacturing or media, ensuring that operations run efficiently, safely, and on schedule. They coordinate between different departments, manage staff, allocate resources, and solve problems that arise during production. Additionally, they are responsible for quality control, budgeting, and maintaining compliance with safety and regulatory standards. Their role is critical to meeting production goals and maintaining product quality.

What are some common challenges faced by a productions manager, and how can they be addressed?

Productions Managers often encounter challenges such as balancing tight deadlines with limited resources, coordinating between multiple departments, and handling unexpected disruptions like equipment failures or supply chain delays. Effective communication, proactive planning, and strong problem-solving skills are essential for navigating these obstacles. Building strong relationships with team members and suppliers, as well as using project management tools, can help ensure smooth production workflows and minimize downtime.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a productions manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Productions Manager, you need strong leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills, typically supported by a degree in business, engineering, or a related field, and relevant industry experience. Familiarity with production management software (such as ERP or MRP systems), lean manufacturing principles, and safety certifications is often required. Effective communication, adaptability, and the ability to motivate teams are essential soft skills for this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring efficient production processes, meeting deadlines, and maintaining high quality and safety standards.

Job description

The Manager, Creative Strategy & Activation plays a hands-on role in shaping and delivering Dick Clark Production brand partnership business - supporting everything from pitch development through flawless campaign execution. This role blends creative thinking with day-to-day project ownership, working across the partnership lifecycle: pre-sale concepting and pitch support, deal scoping, and post-sale activation and delivery.
You'll work closely with Sales, cross-functional teams, and senior Creative Strategy & Activation leadership to bring partnerships to life - ensuring every deal you touch is creatively sharp, well-scoped, and delivered without a hitch. This position can be located in our Los Angeles or New York City office.

  • Contribute original ideas to the department's creative approach for partnership opportunities
  • Support client and prospect meetings, presenting creative concepts as needed in collaboration with the Sales lead

Deal Development
  • Work with cross-functional teams to help scope deal deliverables that are creative, realistic, and aligned to budget and timeline
  • Partner with Leadership and Sales on deal level P&L creation and management
  • Flag resourcing or feasibility risks early in the deal-shaping process
  • Draft and maintain deal documentation, scopes of work, and creative briefs

Post-Sale Activation & Delivery
  • Own day-to-day execution of assigned partnerships from kickoff through campaign wrap
  • Build and manage project timelines, coordinating across all cross functional teams including events, programming, branded content, talent and social
  • Track deliverables against what was sold, proactively surfacing issues before they become problems
  • Create post-campaign recaps, performance reporting, and case study development

Collaboration & Growth
  • Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for partner-facing questions on assigned accounts
  • Partner with the AVP and department leadership to identify process improvements across the pre- to post-sale workflow

Requirements
  • 2-4 years of experience in brand partnerships, sponsorships, integrated marketing, or a related field, with exposure to both pitch/strategy work and delivery/execution
  • Strong creative instincts paired with solid project management skills
  • Experience managing multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously in a cross-functional environment
  • Comfortable presenting ideas and updates to internal stakeholders and, at times, clients
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
