About the Role

We are makers. We create because we are curious, and we believe that the best way to prove an idea works is to make it real.

As the Head of Production for the Global Tech Client account, you are the architect of "how." You will lead the building and evolution of our production function, ensuring that every piece of work—from a brand launch campaign to a scrappy social asset or a global experiential activation—meets the client's standard of excellence.

This is not a traditional production role. We are moving from a world of pure labor to a world of "Talent + Machines." You will lead this transformation, integrating AI-first workflows and the client's tech stack into our pipeline to drive efficiency without sacrificing soul. You will report directly to the Head of Creative, serving as a strategic partner who protects the integrity of the work while navigating the commercial and operational realities of one of the world’s largest brands.

Responsibilities:

Strategic Innovation & AI Leadership

• Pioneer the New Workflow: You will not just oversee production; you will reinvent it. Lead the integration of Monks.Flow and proprietary AI tools into everyday operations, blending the speed of machines with the taste of human talent.
• Tech-Enabled Craft: Bridge the gap between artists, producers, and creative technologists. You must understand the client's tech stack and how to leverage it to create content that is “authored, not just automated.”
• Future-Proofing: Continuously assess and implement new ways of working. You are responsible for ensuring our production capabilities stay ahead of the curve, moving from traditional timelines to the client's speed.

Integrated Production Oversight

• 360 Scope: Oversee a massive variety of outputs: heavy live-action (broadcast & social), deep experiential activations, high-end animation, and scaled content production. You ensure epic execution across every format.
• Global Orchestration: Manage a dedicated internal team distributed globally, while seamlessly partnering with the broader Monks Content Studio for overflow and specialized needs. You are the conductor of a very complex orchestra.
• Quality Control: You are the final barrier against mediocrity. Ensure that “execution is everything” and that we never ship work that doesn’t meet the client's grade—clear, human, and useful.

Client Partnership & Commercial Rigor

• Executive Partnership: Serve as a primary point of escalation and partnership for stakeholders. You must build trust through transparency, demonstrating that you understand their business as well as you understand production.
• Commercial Health: Manage the financial health of the production department. You are responsible for scoping, vendor contracts, and ensuring we maximize profitability while delivering award-winning work.
• Vendor Ecosystem: Curate and manage relationships with top-tier external vendors, directors, and production partners. You ensure we have the best talent on speed dial.

Team Leadership & Culture

• Build the Bench: Recruit and mentor a team of hybrid producers—staff who can pivot from a six-figure shoot to an AI-generated social workstream with ease.
• Foster Maker Culture: Instill a culture where “making” is celebrated. Encourage your producers to be creative problem solvers who say “how we can” rather than “why we can’t.”

About You

The essentials:

• Experience: 15+ years of hands-on production experience, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership role managing large teams (30+).
• AI Fluency: You don’t just know about AI; you use it. You have a vision for how GenAI changes the economics and creativity of production.
• Multi-Disciplinary: Deep experience across live action, experiential, and digital. You must be comfortable discussing set design for an event one minute and render p
