We’re looking for a Creative Producer to lead high-profile client projects requiring deep expertise in animated content. You will ensure creative vision translates into feasible, profitable, and high-quality execution — balancing client ambitions with production realities. Sitting at the heart of the Creative Agency, you’ll collaborate closely with Business Partnerships and SMM to deliver end-to-end solutions for global brands. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on storytelling, loves fast-paced creative environments, and knows how to turn bold ideas into compelling visual content.

Responsibilities

• Own animation projects from pitch to delivery: scoping, budgeting, resourcing, and ensuring delivery against contract.
• Build and lead a team of internal and external animation talent (illustrators, storyboard artists, animators, VFX), overseeing recruitment, training, and performance management.
• Supervise scripts, animatics, storyboards, design, and final animation, ensuring clarity at each lock stage.
• Analyse the market and competitors to identify and test new topics and content formats.
• Lead cross-functional workflows with BPMs and SMMs, ensuring smooth handovers and project stage ownership.
• Provide mentorship to junior producers and supervisors, fostering a pipeline of creative talent.
• Partner with internal teams to align on cost allocations, reporting, and project profitability.
• Implement process discipline (Asana/approval flows) to avoid past inefficiencies.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience producing animation in an agency or studio environment.
• Demonstrated client-facing experience: comfortable leading calls, managing expectations, and handling escalations.
• Proven track record managing end-to-end animated series, branded content, or campaigns - shipping multi-stakeholder projects on time and on budget.
• Strategic thinking with the ability to plan, develop, and implement long-term content strategies.
• Strong knowledge of production pipelines (script → animatic → design → animation → delivery)
• Expertise in scoping, scheduling, and change-order management. Budgeting skills and experience in resource allocation aligned with business objectives.
• Excellent planning and organizational skills, with the ability to run multiple projects in parallel. 
• Process optimisation abilities: capable of identifying and resolving bottlenecks to improve efficiency.
• Strong cross-functional coordination across creative, post-production, SMM, and vendors.
• Deep understanding of target audience interests and needs, with knowledge of current trends. 
• Excellent analytical skills with experience in data analysis and using metrics to assess content and process effectiveness.
• Ability to judge technical feasibility and maintain quality within tight timelines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; crisp client storytelling and escalation handling.
• Experience establishing or upholding process/QA standards and tools across teams.
• Ability to mentor and raise the bar for other producers; contribution to hiring and onboarding.
• Fluency working with remote, international teams and multiple time zones.
• Fluent English; Russian is a strong plus (to support bilingual client/stakeholder coordination).
• Familiarity with Asana (or similar) for structured planning, status, and reporting cadence.
• High ownership mindset; thrives in a no-red-tape, outcome-driven culture.
