Producer/Production Coordinator full-time
Our client, a marketing technology company that creates interactive
digital marketing programs for Fortune 500 clients, is seeking a
Producer with exemplary relationship skills.
In the role of Producer you will oversee digital program launches and
ongoing client projects to ensure high-quality and flawless execution.
Producers work closely with both internal team members and our
client's stakeholders to provide optimal solutions for our clients on
time and on budget. They also act as a client advocate, building trust
through clear communication and exemplary project management skills.
This is a new role in our client's company and they're looking for someone to
help define it and make it live.
What we're really not looking for: Project managers whose real passion
is to launch a new Boeing aircraft. We are looking for talented
individuals who have what it takes to create strong relationships and
manage relatively short but highly dynamic projects -- by the time you
get it into MS Project, it's all changed!
The successful candidate will have proven experience working in a
digital agency or equivalent environment, where fast-paced projects
can take on a life of their own. Relationship building skills will set
the successful candidate apart from all the rest.
