The role of the Senior Production Manager is to ensure that each production is executed and delivered smoothly, efficiently, safely, on budget, and on schedule.
Working alongside the Director of Central Region Production to oversee the strategic and organizational planning of the production process, the Senior Production Manager is responsible for a slate of programming that includes both in-house productions and external commissions through production partners. The role may include managing a team, including both internal and external coordinators, to ensure that all programming is delivered by the agreed deadlines.
Much of the Senior Production Manager’s work relies on sound judgment: maintaining a strong attention to detail and resolving problems when things do not go according to plan. Involved in every stage of production—from initial planning, budgeting, scheduling, and contract negotiations through to final delivery—the Senior Production Manager has oversight during and after delivery to ensure that all contractual obligations are fulfilled.
