Production Manager

When I moved from Coordination to Management, I was given the opportunity to recruit an Assistant who quickly progressed into a Coordinator under my leadership and with the increased workload, we recruited another Assistant. I worked with this team, onboarding them to their new roles and encouraged Learning and Development together to create a great, close-knit team, of whom I am still in regular contact with and am very proud of. I also worked closely with producers and directors to deliver projects and was present in development meetings, through to final sign off meetings with clients. Responsible for managing the production team, recruiting crew members as well as sourcing locations, contributors, costume and art department as required. I am skilled at creating and managing both budgets and production schedules. I have carried out risk assessments for a wide variety of shoots including large studio sets and smaller on-location shoots. My job is to ensure that the production runs smoothly and that all stakeholders are happy, which I really enjoy and am very happy to go the extra mile to ensure this. Show less
