Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Design Studio/ Production Manager to lead production operations for a fast-moving creative team delivering a high volume of complex content. This is a hybrid role between a Design Studio Manager and Production Manager, responsible for driving workflows, quality control, delivery, and execution excellence across a wide range of assets — including PowerPoint decks, live productions, print and production design, executive events, conferences, and large-scale internal communications.

This is not a traditional design agency environment. While agency experience is valuable, the work leans heavily toward scientific education rather than marketing or PR, and the team operates within a flat organizational structure. Success in this role requires someone who is comfortable leading execution without rigid hierarchy and who can collaborate seamlessly with designers, subject-matter experts, and senior executives alike.

Key Responsibilities

Production & Workflow Leadership

  • Plan, organize, and maintain production schedules across multiple concurrent initiatives
  • Assess project scope and resource requirements, ensuring efficient utilization of creative talent
  • Own delivery timelines and ensure milestones are consistently met
  • Drive executional excellence while maintaining a collaborative, high-trust team culture

Creative & Technical Collaboration

  • Partner closely with designers (graphic, 3D, motion, UX/UI, video) to coach for high-quality execution
  • Work with Quantum Subject Matter Experts and technical stakeholders to ingest complex information and translate it into accessible, high-impact content
  • Maintain quality standards across all deliverables, with a strong focus on scientific accuracy and clarity

Executive & Live Production Support

  • Support workstreams involving C-level executives and CVP-level leadership
  • Manage production for executive events including roundtables, quarterly all-hands, conferences, trade shows, and live productions
  • Oversee logistics, run-of-show planning, and execution for live and hybrid events

Financial & Operational Management

  • Open and manage Purchase Orders (POs)
  • Oversee production budgets and vendor relationships
  • Ensure financial accountability across all projects

Qualifications & Experience

  • 10+ years working with creative professionals (graphic, 3D, motion, UX/UI, video production)
  • Demonstrated experience supporting C-suite and senior executives
  • Proven success operating in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments with high quality standards
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft tools and project management platforms
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and 3D production pipelines
  • Experience with live production strongly preferred
  • Background in scientific education, journalism, or digital news is a significant plus
  • Comfortable driving execution within a flat team structure and operating effectively at all organizational levels
