Production Manager
London
Launched in January 2021, Untold Fable is a unique tech-powered content production that makes film and audio content for some of the world's biggest brands. We have an important mission at the heart of our business - to make diversity in our industry the norm, not the exception. That's why we've built a bespoke production platform that allows us to bridge the gap between brands and diverse talent, creating fresh opportunities for collaboration and impactful work that truly reflects its worlds. And it's why our global network of production talent is proudly open to all.
Untold Fable is a warm, encouraging, close-knit and supportive place to work. We foster an empowered culture by creating an environment where different people and perspectives can thrive at every stage of their careers. Sharing a passionate belief in our mission is essential as it will be central to this role, as is having an entrepreneurial spirit that's spurred on by the idea of the 'untold fable' - all the powerful stories yet to be told.
What we're looking for:
As Production Manager, you'll be the lynchpin of the team. You'll support the Head of Production in the day to day running of a busy department, whilst overseeing the work of the Coordinator and PA. You'll welcome fresh challenges in a calm manner and thrive when working under pressure. You are solution orientated and a great communicator, bringing the team together and inspiring them to deliver their best work. We are looking for a PM with experience juggling multiple projects at once, someone who is assertive and yet empathetic to the needs of clients, colleagues and suppliers alike. You have a passion for delivering work to the very highest standards.
The Ideal Candidate will have:
- A minimum of 5 years as a Production Manager.
- A wealth of experience with short form content. Knowledge of TVC production is a bonus, but not essential.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills.
- A head for numbers and a love of budget writing.
- Good commercial business sense and a focus for achieving consistently high margins across all projects.
- A commitment to our diversity mission, and a desire to champion talent that you haven't worked with before.
- A desire to help create and streamline processes that drive efficiencies and make the department run more smoothly.
- Experience managing direct reports.
How We Work:
We are redesigning our office to be a collaborative work space and will implement a phased return to the office with a 2:3 remote / office model being our future set up. Right now, our Folks continue to work remotely with the office open if they need to use it and we have invited local start up's into our office space to support them during this time.
