Producer/Project Manager
Who we are and what we are about
Drumroll is infatuated with the WHY. Our focus is on turning often-overlooked moments into meaningful connections, in memorable and measurable ways. We started Drumroll a decade+ ago with a vision of a new kind of agency, one that supports brands struggling to differentiate themselves through products and services alone and who can no longer reach and engage audiences through common advertising tactics. We believed then, as we do now, that the experience a customer has with a brand is an extension of that company’s values, products and services. And a great experience can create a valuable customer for life.
The Gig
Drumroll is looking for a Producer/Project Manager to be responsible for managing the on-time and on-budget delivery of client and agency projects, while also working as a critical creative fulfillment resource when working with external production partners. This role will collaborate with cross-discipline internal teams, as well as outside partners and specialists. This requires a solution-minded individual with a demonstrated mix of balancing scope, time, cost, risk and quality all while problem solving to deliver incredible work with a positive “can do” attitude.
