Interactive Producer
The Interactive Producer will work with a team of designers, copywriters, account managers, programmers and outside resources to develop creative solutions that meet our clients’ strategic interactive needs. The producer must, not surprisingly, have a good understanding of all interactive vehicles (Web, e-mail, multimedia, etc.) and â unlike other jobs out there â possess exceptional communication and organizational skills. You must be able to play nice with others and keep yourself productive when alone. Programming knowledge is a definite plus.
Primary responsibilities include:
- Oversight of interactive projects â including determining scope, developing cost estimates and establishing timelines â from initiation to final quality assurance and maintenance
- Document client objectives, technical requirements, and user requirements for each project
- Serve as project lead while working with a team of designers, writers and programmers â yes, we said that earlier, but it’s important
- Identify the need for external resources and manage them accordingly
- Build and maintain client relationships in conjunction with the account manager; this may involve lunches
- Create test plans and manage the entire quality control process with internal and outside resources for the life of the project
- Work directly with the assigned account manager and/or client
Qualifications:
- One to five years of interactive project management experience
- Strong understanding of programming languages, technologies and online advertising
- Detail oriented, deadline driven, and possessing excellent communication skills (no mumblers)
- Ability to manage complex projects with multiple deadlines
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Able to develop strong, positive relationships with outside suppliers and co-workers
Other Qualities:
- Able to complete work without supervision
- Conscientious and detail-oriented (if you noticed the redundancy of this one, that’s a start)
- Outcome-focused on delivery of work
- Takes ownership of issues and sees them through to resolution
- A fast learner of new systems, tools, ideas, and business models
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- Ambitious person who wants to learn new system, processes, and production techniques
- Analytically minded individual who can spot problems and their real causes
- Ability to work in a team to solve more difficult issues
- Professional on the phone and through e-mail (leave your emoticons at the door)
- Desires to learn and build a valuable career
