Job description / Role

Employment: Full Time

Digital producers co-ordinate, supervise and plan projects involving the creation of digital media. They collaborate with multiple project teams or departments to oversee the design and development of a range of digital campaigns.

Digital producers also have to ensure that the work that is being produced is within brand guidelines and has been Quality Assured.

Typically, a digital producer will:
• Take briefs from clients or internal stakeholders and build good relationships with them
• Work with media agencies to ensure that specs are correct
• Plan project schedules
• Keep all parties updated on the delivery of digital campaigns
• Highlight any issues and strive to resolve them
• Manage the finances of projects and ensure project administration and billing is kept up-to-date
• Key skills
• Excellent organisational skills: You need to be highly organised to manage multiple projects simultaneously and to a high standard whilst keeping all parties updated and ensuring project administration and billing is completed
• Diplomacy skills: You will be facilitating between creative teams and development teams, which can naturally push against each other
• Stakeholder management: You need to be able to translate very technical terminology to non-digital stakeholders
• Budget management: You need to be able to provide cost estimates and quotations, as well as delegate big budgets for projects
• Resource management: You need to identify and appoint the correct resource and brief them as and when projects comes in

Requirements

Qualifications are not always essential for the role of digital producer. As more agencies adopt agile principles, a certificate in Agile SCRUM could be helpful. Project management qualifications may also be useful, although practical experience is often more relevant.

To be successful as a digital producer you need to have experience working across integrated projects in advertising and marketing, including digital components. You need to be able to demonstrate you have delivered projects end-to-end and it is also often desirable to have experience working with big brands, and design and development teams.
