• Lead pre-production activities including briefs, storyboards, scripts, shot lists, scheduling, talent preparation, locations, equipment, and releases.

• Direct filming and recording; oversee lighting, sound, camera operation, editing, motion graphics, captions, color, mixing, versioning, and final delivery.

• Assign and review work of direct reports; provide coaching, performance feedback, staffing input, and personnel management consistent with company policy.

• Own production calendars, project intake, prioritization, vendor coordination, and milestone tracking; deliver projects within approved budgets and deadlines.

• Partner with subject matter experts to accurately communicate banking technology, operations, strategy, payments, and other financial institution topics without overstating claims.

Problem Solving/Analysis

• Assess creative briefs, audience needs, production constraints, technical issues, and competing deadlines; select workable formats and allocate resources.

• Resolve production or post-production problems independently within the agreed scope and escalate material budget, legal, reputational, or schedule risks.

Communication and Collaboration

• Work closely with marketing, consultants, practice leaders, business development, event teams, and external vendors to clarify objectives and secure reviews.

• Communicate project status, dependencies, creative recommendations, and delivery expectations clearly to non-production stakeholders.
