#LI-MV1
You know that feeling when the edit lands perfectly? When a pitch deck makes the room lean forward? When a shoot wraps and everyone knows something special just happened?We'relooking for the person who lives for that feeling.

The Role

Havas Village Australia is hiring a Senior Producer / Executive Producer to lead our production capability from Melbourne, with national reach across the Village network. Equal parts maker, storyteller, new business weapon, and calm centre of gravity when everything is moving fast.

We'relooking for a Senior Producer or EP who is as comfortable rolling up their sleeves on a fast-turnaround content shoot as they are steering a high-budget TVC through post. This is a hands-on leadership role sitting within our in-house production company, responsible for driving the quality, efficiency, and culture of everything we produce.

You'llbe the operational backbone of the production team, owning workflows and processes while staying close to the work itself. Youdon'thand things off and walk away. You know when to lead, when to support, and when to be hands-on to get the job done yourself.

What You'll Do

Some weeksyou'rebuilding proposals that win rooms. Othersyou'reon set, across budgets, timelines, crews and the thousand small decisions that separate good production from great.You'llneed to love new business-not tolerate it, love it. The energy, the theatre, the satisfaction of turning creative into a plan that makes a client say yes.

You'lloversee the end-to-end production of a diverse project slate, ensuring every job is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest creative standard. Day to day, that means:

• Managing production workflows and resourcing across the team, building and refining processes that keep projects moving without sacrificing quality

• Owning production budgets frominitialscope through to final reconciliation, building the P&L discipline and financial visibility the department needs to scale

• Acting as the senior point of contact for creative, account, and client stakeholders

• Working closely with directors, editors, and production crew tomaintainexcellence and troubleshoot problems before they escalate, on-set and from behind the scenes

• Setting the standard for how the teamoperates, from briefing and scheduling through to wrap and delivery

• Stepping into an EP capacity on larger projects, whileremaininghands-on as acreativeproducer when the job calls for it

• Managing supplier relationships and contributing actively to new business

Andyou'llneed to be steady. Production is chaos managed beautifully. When timelines compress and three things need you at once,you'rethe person the team looks to. Not because you have all the answers, but because youdon'tpanic, you prioritise, and you move.

What Makes This Different

We'reDeliberately Different. Havas Village brings creative, media,productionand technology under one roof, with the agility of an independent and a global network across 100+ markets.

This is also a moment. AI is reshaping production workflows and rewriting the economics of content at scale.We'renot looking for an AI expert.We'relooking for someone whose curiositywon'tlet them sit still. Already experimenting, pulling apart new tools, figuring outwhat'sreal and what's hype. Because when traditional craft meets AI, storytellers do more with less and push creative further than the budget would normally allow.

You

Your attention to detail is the thing people comment on. You care about the kerning on apitchdeck,thelayoutand assumptions in a budget,and how every word in a client email reads before you hit send, because excellence is a thousandsmall thingsdone right.

You'rea leader who creates clarity when things are ambiguous. You protect creative standards while respecting commercial reality.You'reflexible enough to shift between a scrappy social shoot and a polished TVC without losing quality on either.

Andabove all, you'rethe perfect conductor You love the craft, the problem-solving, the alchemy of turning an idea into something peopleactually seeand feel.
