About this role

The role of Director of Production is a key role which will partner with the MD’s and Creative leaders (Creative Directors and Executive Producers) in our Scripted Labels to drive forward their ambitious slates and achieve their business and creative objectives. This includes acting as a key advisor and expert across the whole slate, working with the Creative Heads and Executive Producers, enabling them to marry editorial aims with the financing and resourcing of the shows from development and throughout production.

Responsibilities

  • Responsible for ensuring delivery to the broadcaster and ensuring they and their team , work alongside the individual Line Producers and Producers on each show, to manage and control costs, adhere to agreed budgets, timescales and delivery dates to ensure the profitability of individual shows in the Scripted Hub Labels.
  • Manage a number of programmes at different budget levels across drama and comedy slate and budgets at varying stages of production, with multiple different stakeholders, marrying staffing and production needs with resources.
  • Line management of the in-house production management team and allocating this internal resource across productions and development activity as well as recruiting, managing and developing best-in-class production management teams for each production. You will support the production management team in managing all non-editorial staff and freelancers on the shows within the Scripted Hub.
  • Alongside colleagues in Finance and Legal, responsible for determining the best production and financing models and implementing solutions to help deliver and enhance the creative vision and ambitions for our productions.
  • Support and advise productions on major issues and ensure their teams in-house and on productions formulate and implement policies and protocols (COVID protocols, health & safety, data protection, compliance etc) mitigating risk in all areas of production.
  • This role should oversee and guide the production management team in working collaboratively to share knowledge, secure the best deals, identify efficiencies and continuously review and consider new working practices and procedures to ensure all productions are well supported in a cost-effective way and can deliver on time and on budget.
  • Manage a number of programme budgets at varying stages of production, with multiple different stakeholders, marrying staffing and production needs with resources.
  • Ultimately responsible for ensuring ensure all productions in the Scripted Hub follow health and safety and data protection guidelines, compliance and copyright protocol and other Banijay UK policies and processes are implemented and adhered to.
  • The Director of Production is ultimately responsible for production management across the labels. Whilst that likely means overseeing, in-house production management team members and teams hired on productions, inevitably this is a role which will need someone who is happy to roll their sleeves up if needed, to ensure the productions and labels deliver creatively and commercially.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

  • Demonstrable experience of managing the production of multiple high end, high profile drama series and lower budget returnable series or comedies simultaneously preferably as a Head of Production.
  • Experience of managing series and budgets for both streamers and terrestrial channels.
  • Experience in both domestic and international production with proven experience in leading multiple teams remotely across a number of bases.
  • Strong relationship management skills and an inspiring leader who excels at rallying and guiding teams to achieve goals and ambitions.
  • Extensive experience of budgeting, scheduling, cost reporting and P&L management across multiple productions simultaneously.
  • Excellent working knowledge of key industry agreements – ie. PACT/Equity, WGGB, FAA, Working with Children, terms of trade
  • Considerable experience of managing clients and multiple stakeholders including broadcasters, talent agents and distributors
  • Extensive experience of negotiating deals, contracts, commissioning and licensing agreements, using business acumen and an up-to-date knowledge of the market
  • A wealth of experience in setting up foreign shoots including visas, carnets and local crew sourcing, insurance and payments, an advantage
  • Good technical and post production knowledge, in particular scripted workflows, file formats and metadata handling.
