Key Responsibilities

AI-Native Production Management

• Manage day-to-day production planning and execution across JAMS projects, PODs, creative teams, technical teams, and external partners.
• Translate creative ambition, scripts, treatments, visual references, and technical requirements into executable production plans.
• Coordinate across Creative Technologists, Producers, Narrative and Visual Storytelling Leads, Writers, Editors, VFX/Post teams, Product, Engineering, Data Science, and vendor teams.
• Maintain visibility on project scope, milestones, dependencies, review cycles, vendor readiness, resource needs, and delivery timelines.
• Help teams move from experimentation and prototypes into structured production execution without losing speed or creative flexibility.

Production Planning, Scheduling and Tracking

• Build and maintain production schedules, milestone plans, shot/asset trackers, delivery trackers, review calendars, and status reports.
• Track project progress across concepts, scripts, storyboards, animatics, previs, AI generation, VFX/post, edit, sound, QC, and final delivery stages.
• Monitor scope, bid assumptions, schedule health, team capacity, vendor capacity, resource utilization, and delivery risks.
• Organize dailies, reviews, stand-ups, planning meetings, retrospectives, and follow-up actions.
• Surface blockers early and drive clear follow-through on decisions, priorities, and next steps.

Production Workflow Systems and Reporting

• Own and maintain production workflow systems for JAMS projects, including show trackers, shot/asset trackers, milestone dashboards, review trackers, vendor trackers, and delivery reports.
• Configure and operate production management tools such as ShotGrid/Shotgun, Ftrack, Airtable, Notion, Jira, Monday, Excel/Sheets, or equivalent systems based on production needs.
• Translate creative and technical production workflows into clear tracking structures, statuses, handoffs, owners, timelines, and reporting views.
• Use production data to surface risks, bottlenecks, vendor capacity issues, bid-vs-actual movement, schedule drift, and delivery health.
• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to improve internal JAMS production tools, dashboards, automations, and reporting workflows.

Vendor and Cross-Functional Coordination

• Support vendor onboarding, capability assessment, production briefing, schedule alignment, delivery tracking, and quality follow-through.
• Coordinate with external VFX, animation, sound, post-production, AI tooling, and creative vendors as required by each project.
• Maintain clear communication between internal creative/technical teams and external partners.
• Ensure vendors understand creative intent, technical methodology, asset requirements, review cadence, naming/versioning expectations, and delivery specifications.
• Help build strong production partnerships that improve quality, efficiency, and predictability across JAMS workflows.

Quality, Risk and Delivery Discipline

• Maintain a holistic view of project health across scope, schedules, resources, review cycles, production quality, and final delivery.
• Identify production risks early and escalate them with clear options, trade-offs, and recommended next steps.
• Support QC and delivery readiness across scripts, visual outputs, edits, VFX/post assets, sound, metadata, and final publishing requirements.
• Drive documentation of learnings, blockers, retrospectives, process improvements, and repeatable production practices.
• Ensure JAMS productions remain organized, accountable, and delivery-focused while operating in a fast-evolving AI-native environment.
