Senior Producer

Monks is a digital-first marketing and advertising services company connecting the dots across content, data & digital media and technology services. Inspired by the connectivity and flexibility of technology APIs, Media.Monks’ single-P&L model offers brands seamless access to a nearly 6,000-strong team of digital talent organized across 57 talent hubs in 33 countries.

With us, you'll find a diverse group of colleagues with different backgrounds and perspectives. We believe everyone has something of value to offer, and that sustaining a truly diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace begins with fostering an environment where people can be themselves, authentically, every day. We want to build something with the potential to change the heart of our industry, and we’d love to include your unique perspective. Now, about the opportunity: Media.Monks is hiring a brilliant and hyper-organized steward of client relations and internal project excellence for one of the world's highest–profile brands.

Now the opportunity: We are looking for a Senior Producer to lead the production of dot-com websites, banners, advertising campaigns, mobile apps and other digital products and platforms.

The individual will need to work in both English and Japanese and therefore have very strong fluency in Japanese to effectively work with the clients team. 

Role & Responsibilities:

• You’ll frequently work face-to-face with our clients, occasionally embedding with them for sustained periods.
• You’ll work as part of a small but fast-growing team of Monks to build out our reputation as the top creative production partner.
• As a Senior Digital Producer, you specialize in setting up, stewarding and sustaining digital products such as brand apps, dot-com websites, digital transformation projects, digital advertising campaigns, and e-commerce platforms.
• You act as the initial bridge between Monks and new-business leads, introducing our company and capabilities alongside an amazing collection of platforms and assets.
• You kick-start new projects by reaching out to the right people and by being the right person when people reach out to us — responding to agency briefs and RFPs and co-creating pitches, treatments and proposals.
• You shape new projects into a joint success by leading the production on our behalf: you’re the pace and peacemaker, principally responsible for projects’ timely and expectations-exceeding delivery.
• Your role is to bring all of our in-house talent together and ensure great work is done between our office and our production strongholds around the world.
• You’re responsible for scoping and quoting projects as well as timing and planning production work.
• You establish what gets done and when  making sure projects are profitable and doable, with realistic targets and deadlines.
• Meeting against monthly and annual targets, you help to grow business accounts into a long-term success for all parties.

Requirements

• For this client-facing role, we’re looking for someone with 5+ years of experience producing high-end brand sites, digital ad campaigns, apps and e-comm platforms — leading digital projects from proposal to an actual product.
• You have hands-on experience with producing high-end digital work and an intimate understanding of what is needed to make technical projects come about.
• With the backing of our global team of producers and tech directors, you’re confident in advising C-level clients on digital transformations and big redesign projects for websites and apps.
• You can work in English & Japanese at the highest professional level.
• You can handle high-stakes accounts and are confident proposing next steps from a strategic, technical perspective.
• You have a keen understanding of the (digital) business objectives of global brands and are able to quickly fathom a project’s challenges and what needs to be achieved.
• You love to geek out when it comes to new technologies and trends, because while managing the client relationship is your foremost responsibility, you grasp technology in a way that allows you to establish realistic costs and timings.
• You don’t think in projects but in partnerships, developing client relationships and work-streams miles(tones) ahead
