Job Description - Billboard & In-Mall Media Production Lead
A fast-growing Out-of-Home media company is seeking a tenacious, ultra-organised Billboard & In-Mall Production Manager to take end-to-end ownership of their production and flighting operations. This is a permanent, full-time role based in-office with some flexibility. Working hours are Monday to Thursday, 07h30 to 16h30 and Fridays 07h30 to 15h00.
This is a hands-on, high-volume role for a master coordinator who loves getting things done and keeping projects moving seamlessly. As the operational backbone between relationship managers, agencies, printers, installation teams, and landlords, you will be the go-to person who ensures every campaign is printed, flighted, maintained, and billed flawlessly on time. If you thrive under pressure, possess relentless follow-through, and take pride in being a proactive "doer," this position is for you!
Core Responsibilities
Production Management: Oversee the complete lifecycle of billboard and in-mall campaigns. Chase artwork ahead of deadlines, verify technical specs, liaise with printers/suppliers, manage proofs and special builds, and maintain accurate production chaselists.
Flighting & Installation Coordination: Schedule and manage flighting teams, issue flighting notices, maintain the master schedule, and ensure 100% of completed installations receive checked, dated photographic proof within 24 hours.
Site & Structure Maintenance: Coordinate repairs for billboard structures, artwork, and site illumination. Obtain supplier quotes, arrange site access with shopping centre managers and landlords, and track repairs through to completion.
Production Financial Administration: Prepare Purchase Orders (POs), reconcile weekly PO lists, chase supplier CIs and invoices, verify billings against quotes, and resolve discrepancies with the finance team.
Stakeholder & Supplier Management: Build strong, accountable relationships with printers, installers, landlords, and internal teams, communicating proactively to resolve potential delays before they impact campaigns.
