WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Personally deliver BDs most complex, highest-value work across MENA, while directing and coaching Lead Producers, line producers and production teams across the wider portfolio.
• Define how each campaign comes to life across cinematic hero, social-first and always-on content, building the right model around the idea, market, creators, budget and client ambition.

• Deputise for the CBO on production process, building the templates, playbooks and standards that help teams move faster without compromising the work.
• Partner with Creative and Creators to grow BDs network and design lean, high-performing production models around the right talent for each brief.
• Lead feasibility, permitting, insurance, compliance and production planning across international markets, knowing where the risks are before anyone steps on a plane.
• Drive margin performance across the portfolio, maintaining a clear view of budgets, actuals and where production decisions are creating or eroding value.
• Build practical AI use into production and post-production workflows to improve planning, speed up repetitive work and create more time for the judgement, relationships and problem-solving that great production depends on.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 10+ years in production, with experience leading, developing and raising the standard of other producers, not just running your own work.
• A track record leading complex, high-value productions across cinematic hero, social-first and always-on content, with work youre proud to put your name to.
• Youve worked across production companies and digital or content-first agencies, and know how to combine production rigour with the pace and flexibility modern content demands.
• Youve owned relationships across the full production life cycle, from the first commercial conversation through the difficult moments to final delivery.
• Youve owned significant budgets, margins and actualisation at portfolio level and understand the commercial consequences of production decisions.
• Youre comfortable delivering across markets, cultures and time zones, leading remote teams and navigating the realities of international production.
• Youve built or rolled out processes, templates and playbooks that improved how teams work without adding bureaucracy for the sake of it.
• You bring calm judgement under pressure, make good calls with imperfect information and know how to protect the client, the team, the commercial outcome and the creative. Experience across government, tourism or hospitality is highly valuable, with GCC experience strongly preferred.
