THE ROLE: EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Do you love building things? Being the dream-maker? Seeing a client’s dreams come to life, knowing that you had a hand in every part of the process? From ideation and conceptualization to crunching the numbers and doing site visits, putting a world-class team together and collaborating with experts in the field, being on the ground while an intricate set is assembled, to eventually watching faces light up the moment it goes live…
Does the idea of working with our resident Dream Crusher (think of her as the human embodiment of every meme you’ve ever seen tagged ‘client expectations vs. client budget’) also known as our Global Head of Production Amy Robinson, the London-based production wonder, light you up?
If your answer is a resounding YES to all of the above, then this might just be the gig for you, so read on!
New Moon is on the hunt for a wildly talented Executive Producer to lead the development and production of our experiential work and live events in North America.
As a senior, full-time, in-house member of our US team, you will be the lead of our US Production Department, working cross functionally with our Creative, Strategy and Client Service teams to create, manage and oversee world-class events and impressive, original experiences that New Moon is all about.
Working on multiple live projects simultaneously, all of which are at different stages from planning and pre-production through to build-out and execution, multi-tasking is something you’ve honed, finessed and perfected over your years of experience.
You have a rolodex (virtually speaking!) of preferred vendor and collaborator talent/industry contacts to call upon for various project types, and enjoy meeting new vendors and learning partner capabilities that will grow the team’s network and enhance strategic production/creative output.
On that note, you’re a natural at bringing out the best in the people that you work with—from the vendors and suppliers that you look after and truly care about (which is why when you occasionally need to call on them at the 11th hour, you know they’ll go that extra mile) to the bump-out staff who are still smiling even if it’s been a long day—because you have the ability to make them feel seen and valued.
You are a creative, resourceful, lateral-thinker, looking for out-of-the-box approaches to client requests, no matter how bonkers they might seem at times! You have an appetite for cutting-edge innovation and fresh perspectives, and are constantly researching and learning about new innovations and emerging technologies, bringing that knowledge to the practicalities of your work in a way that makes you a go-to problem solver.
When opportunity knocks, you can hold your own at the pitch table. Pitching and presenting production feasibilities to both existing and new clients is something that you genuinely enjoy being involved in, and you are able to add tangible value to the development process through your presence, participation and expertise.
YOUR PURPOSE
While you will produce key projects from concept to execution alongside a team, a core part of this role includes the development and growth of New Moon’s FTE production department over time. You will have ownership and support of the business to build and manage a team of producers (FTE or contract) as our team continues to grow. You will work with the Global Head of Production & Operations Director to identify freelance production talent to lead projects as needed, as well as third-party vendors across disciplines.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
- 8+ years experience in event production
- Experience in planning and executing large-scale and high-quality events with budgets upwards of $500,000 – $1MM+
- Proven leadership skills and team management experience (oversight and delegation)
- Ability to manage and supervise various projects/events and teams simultaneously
- Ability to manage junior members of the Production team/department (full-time or contract) on projects that you are leading, and/or across projects that other Producers are leading when agency has several programs overlapping
- Ability to build the required teams in order to deliver a large-scale program successfully (including Technical Directors, Content Managers, Junior Producers etc.) alongside Department Heads, both with New Moon and your own network contacts
- Ability to manage deliverables using strong delegation and prioritization skills
- Experience working collaboratively across Production, Creative, Strategy, and Account departments
- Ability to manage and work with client teams; certain program team structures vary based on project size/need; ability to interface with clients is a must
- Ability to vet, bid, and manage third-party vendor partners
- Ability to build and manage budgets and track agency profit
- Excellent communication, written, oral, and presentation skills
- A razor-sharp attention to detail, ensuring consistency of vision and output is unwavering
- Diplomatic approach to internal team problem-solving and client requests
- Self Awareness and Accountability: shows the ability to work collaboratively, both internally and externally
- Naturally attuned to the changing tides of popular culture and an ability to bring that cultural intelligence to your workflow through strong recommendations to clients and in the ideation process with your peers
- Demonstration of humanity and empathy in all that you do
RESPONSIBILITIES SNAPSHOT
- Team & Client Integration
- Third-Party Vendor & Collaborator Sourcing, Vetting & Management
- Budget Management
- Admin, Timeline & Document Management
- Scheduling & Staffing
- Physical / On-site Production
KEY DETAILS
- Location: NYC-based candidates will be prioritized, though LA-based humans will also be considered. This role does require face-time with team members, clients, and stakeholders and as such is not a fully-remote or at-large position
- Full-time, in-house role as either a permanent employee or a 12-month contract
- Working: 3 days per week in the office (Tues-Thurs), with Mondays and Fridays WFH
- New Moon offers a competitive and generous benefits scheme that includes 4 weeks vacation
SALARY RANGE: $125,000 – $140,000 USD
