Production Manager

About the role

TACTECH New Media is a Dubai-based creative technology studio combining storytelling, design and technology, creating interactive experiences, immersive environments, digital installations, applications and visual content. It is hiring a full-time Production Manager who owns the operational delivery system for its creative production: people, assignments, deadlines, dependencies, suppliers, quality gates and deployment readiness. The role connects creative, content, software and technical execution so multiple projects run at once without losing scope, schedule or standards, and is both a production-leadership and traffic-management position.

Key responsibilities

• Production planning and resource management: turn confirmed project scopes into schedules, work breakdowns, milestones and accountable owners, and allocate internal and freelance capacity across art direction, design, animation, CGI, editing, development and technical operations.
• Maintain a single, accurate view of the production pipeline, utilization, priorities, blockers and delivery commitments, and run production traffic reviews to flag capacity conflicts or schedule risk early.
• Execution control and quality assurance: set checkpoints for briefs, scripts, storyboards, design approvals, build versions, content exports, testing and final sign-off, ensure complete producer handovers, coordinate version control, internal reviews, client feedback cycles, change requests and approval logs, and oversee quality and readiness of interactive applications, media-server content, installations and multi-screen delivery.
• Commercial, vendor and deployment coordination: align delivery plans with approved scope, budgets and client commitments, monitor production costs and vendor requirements, and coordinate integration tests, site schedules, logistics and installation with technical operations and partners.
• Team management and continuous improvement: manage producer workflows and coaching, improve templates, scheduling tools, reporting cadence and escalation paths, and give the Managing Director weekly updates on project health, risks, resourcing and decisions.

Required profile

• 8+ years in multidisciplinary production or delivery management, including leadership across more than one concurrent project.
• Demonstrated experience delivering motion/CG content, interactive applications, immersive media or technology-led installations.
• Ability to plan creative production and software workflows together, including dependencies, approvals and testing.
• Confident handling of budgets, suppliers, resource capacity, scope control and deadlines.
• Clear written documentation, strong escalation judgment and hands-on knowledge of project management tools.
• Experience with live deployment, installation or exhibition environments is valuable; fabrication-only experience is insufficient.

The Production Manager reports to the Managing Director, while the Producer owns day-to-day delivery of individual projects. To apply, submit a CV and three relevant case studies outlining scope, team, delivery timeline, your production system and the final outcome.
