Senior Producer

Our Producers manage projects from beginning to end. They’re problem solvers that know every detail of any given project and serve as the ‘go-to’ for both clients and the R/GA team. They know what to expect, what to do next, and where they need to be at all times. 

Combining skills in project management, client management, and entrepreneurial leadership, the Senior Producer manages R/GA’s more complex work from kick-off to delivery. As the central point of contact for project teams and clients, the Senior Producer establishes project plans, budgets, and contracts, tracks progress and removes obstacles for the team, and ensures that we deliver world-class work on strategy, on time and on budget.
