Project Manager, Global Program Management - Production Solutions

Own the rollout for new media production capabilities, partnering with Product, Design, and Engineering from early exploration through pilot and full-scale deployment. Concurrently manage multiple early-stage, interdependent initiatives across the portfolio, applying sound prioritization judgment when competing for limited resources. Serve as the operational connective layer across a broad studio technology ecosystem, partnering with the Product & Technology teams that own shared systems to ensure new capabilities integrate cleanly. Design and execute change management and rollout plans across multiple international markets, tailoring messaging and pacing to local production workflows, cultural nuances, and talent-relations. Orchestrate work across cross-functional partners (e.g. Finance, Legal, Operations, Support/IT, Post Production), creating a collaborative environment that accelerates measurable outcomes. Communicate program status, progress, risk, and performance clearly to stakeholders and senior leadership, including synthesizing feedback and sentiment gathered across regions into clear strategic recommendations. Establish a reliable, visible cadence for portfolio reviews, prioritization, and decision-making, so that improvements are measurable and progress is transparent to partners and stakeholders. 5-7+ years of experience in project management. Background in management consulting (or similar fast-paced, high-performance role) and/or an MBA is a plus. Experience with techniques and tools that drive process efficiency and continuous improvement (for example, Six Sigma, Lean thinking, Scrum). Knowledge and experience with the content creation process strongly preferred (for example, on-set production, post-production, and VFX workflows). Knowledge of product development practices preferred. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent, ambiguous, early-stage initiatives at once, and to make sound prioritization calls without waiting for full cross-functional consensus. Be comfortable quickly grasping and speaking credibly about new and emerging technologies (e.g. generative AI and cloud-based infrastructure) as they relate to creative tools, and translating their capabilities and known limitations into practical rollout plans. Working knowledge of media asset management concepts (e.g. asset types, metadata, interoperability, open standards across systems) and comfort partnering directly with technology teams on systems design. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to socialize, explain, and gain buy-in for new and complex strategies, practices, and workflows. This includes being able to influence the direction of work without direct authority or reporting lines. Experience and capability to respectfully and confidently engage with executives, creative partners, and operational colleagues alike. Ability to manage and operate in ambiguous situations, and to think on your feet to solve problems in real time.
