Digital Producer

Monks is seeking a Producer with a knack for design, animation, and video editing at scale. This person will work closely with our clients, so client-facing experience is a must. This mid level role requires prior experience in digital advertising, transcreation, asset creation and/or integrated production, as well as an understanding of what is needed in the first place to make first-rate projects come about.

Role:

• You’ll partner with one of our biggest clients to produce digital advertising assets that require our in-house teams to deliver quality x quantity.
• You are responsible for the process and completion of multiple design & animation projects simultaneously, managing the in- and output of our Design, Illustration and Animation Monks.
• A quality watchdog, you work closely together with our Program/Project Managers and production teams across several time zones to make sure pixels are pushed to perfection.
• You make sure that the work meets the client’s strategy, brand and creative goals, as well as our own quality standards.
• You help scoping and quoting projects, working with senior Monks and department leads to propose timelines and ballparks.
• As part of Monks, you are part of an international production company, with 9,000+ Monks from all production disciplines working together to craft the best of work.

Responsibilities:

• A big part of your day-to-day is briefing team members on delivery objectives and keeping everyone informed on the progress of projects, and the latest office gossip.
• You make sure deadlines are met with lethal precision, and flag the ones that aren’t attainable upfront.
• You schedule, track and prioritize assignments and make sure the right resources (we mean people of course!) are available.
• You liaise between clients and teams to make sure Monks nails milestone after milestone, hustling internal resources to meet external deadlines no matter what.
• You’ll be responsible for managing a team of producers and designers in your region, leading with passion and care. 

Requirements:

• You have at least 3+ years of hands-on experience doing awesome work as a Producer or Project Manager in digital advertising or creative production.
• Fluent English communication is a must.
• You have a solid understanding of the creative workflow of fast-paced design and animation projects.
• You also have sufficient technical knowledge to foresee and address possible planning/production issues, translating the complexity of such projects into lucid language that clients can understand.
• We need a true-born and fun-loving team player who can successfully work across teams, time zones and technologies.
• You can collaborate comfortably with digital artisans including creatives, illustrators, designers, 2D animators, 3D animators, concept artists.
• Setting up and managing production projects between offices is no easy task and requires superb written and verbal communication skills.
• Spreadsheets are your natural habitat, project management tools your best friend (e.g., TeamGantt, 10,000ft, Basecamp, Post-it notes).
• You break the ice, instead of breaking a sweat when in front of the client and when facing crazy cases of ambiguity.
• You have the experience and tools to solve problems in your back pocket, and you're not afraid to use them as needed.

 

At Monks, you join a young & fun, successful, and super-fast-growing company that constantly pushes the envelope when it comes to production and use of adjectives. In addition to an unlimited supply of awesome projects and coworkers, Monks gets you a one-of-a-kind company culture, amplified through awesome awards. If you meet and exceed this profile, we’d love to meet you in person.
