Because our current much-beloved production manager is moving to the other side of the world, Espresso’s Toronto office is seeking a dreamy new replacement to oversee a range of projects in the digital, social, experiential, and traditional realm.
Our future Infiltrator will have about five or so years of production management expertise, be a smartie pants with delightful communication skills, and have the diplomatic savvy to push hard without causing major irritation. You love a good Gantt, Visio gives you joyful heart palpitations, and you play with new project management tools in your spare time just for fun. (What? We don’t find it at all odd that you mapped out your wedding in Basecamp. Hmph.)
Oh yeah, and digital/dev experience is pretty much essential.
So what would you have to do?

• Create project estimates and timetables – and mean them
• Schedule and oversee production timelines
• Negotiate and manage vendor relations
• Production trafficking
• Work with account service team to track, manage, and report on job financials
• Prepare key project milestone reports for client review
• Attend weekly account service status meeting
• Oversee weekly production status meeting
• Systematize, formalize, and obsessively fantasize about ongoing efforts to streamline in-house production flow, processes, and reporting
• Manage production team

Outside the obviousness of the role itself, we are seeking someone who falls in love with ideas, who thrives on learning more and thinking smarter. Someone who lives and breathes emerging media. Someone who can handle a plethora of details on projects both traditional and innovative. Someone who embraces the exclusion of ego like it’s a personal science.
