- Monitor performance, utilization, and resourcing to support department growth.
- Foster a positive, resilient, and development-focused culture, ensuring juniors feel supported and equipped to succeed.

- Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and familiarity with AI creative tools.
- Experience building and optimizing production workflows, particularly for fast-turnaround content.
- Excellent client-facing communication skills and experience liaising with multiple stakeholders.
- Strategic mindset with the ability to align creative output with business goals.
