Negotiate contracts, track deliverables and ensure vendors meet deadlines and quality benchmarks.

Maintain a vetted vendor database and periodically assess performance.

4. Process Setup & Improvement

Establish SOPs for pre-production, shoot execution, post-production and final asset delivery.

Ensure all content adheres to brand guidelines and legal requirements.

6. Budget & Resource Management

Manage the studio budget, equipment procurement and maintenance.

Optimize resource usage for both in-house and outsourced work.

7. Reporting & Communication

Share weekly production and post-production status reports with the Creative Head.

Flag risks and delays early, with proposed corrective actions.
