What you’ll do The Head of Production will help build the Producer function from the ground up, shaping the team, workflow, standards, and production habits that Marketing will scale from. This role is both a people manager and a hands-on content producer, especially in the early stages of team building. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Marketing Operations, the person in this role will lead production flow for Marketing’s publishing work while also researching, writing, packaging, scheduling, publishing, and monitoring early audience response. This hands-on producing is intentional: it will help pressure-test the workflow, identify gaps, and build practical processes that future Producers can follow. Over time, as the Producer team grows, the role will shift toward a dedicated Head of Production role focused on team leadership, production planning, resourcing, handoffs, publishing readiness, and process improvement.
We are a hybrid office, with team members working from home and in our Vancouver office. This role requires in-office attendance once per quarter and availability during the Pacific Standard Time zone business hours.
