Production Manager

As part of the production management team, the role of the Production Manager is to ensure a production is made and delivered as smoothly, efficiently, safely, within budget to the designated deadline with a focus on ‘on-the-ground production’ and support.  Reporting to the Senior Production Manager of Northeast region, the Production Manager will manage a slate of production crew, including freelancer coordinators, production assistants and compliance teams, overall logistic planning and coordination and scheduling. 

The Production Manager is responsible for a slate of programming, which involves both in house produced material and external commissions through production partners. You may manage a team both internal and external coordinators to ensure the delivery of the programming to the designated deadline.
