• Networking skills – sourcing the best locations, studios, photographers, videographers, models, stylists and hair and make-up artists
• External talent sourcing – in-depth social knowledge and ability to make talent recommendations for pitches that fit within budget and host brand
• Managing scope creep across projects

Key skills and experience:

• Project management - including internal and external team
• Budget management
• Quality control
• Client and stakeholder management
• Negotiation
• Creative process understanding
• Digital, print and social experience
• Flexibility and initiative

This is the ideal role for an experienced (or ambitious) media production professional who loves being part of a team and the creative process.
