Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Producer (client content projects) to join the team!
InnovationAus.com is an independent publication that reports on government policy as it affects technology-based innovation across the nation’s growth industries. From mining and agriculture to financial services, MedTech, cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing, our reporting focuses on the opportunities that align with Australia’s strategic priorities and connects government, institutional researchers, investors, entrepreneurs and the mainstream business community.
Our goal is to galvanise new thinking and encourage new action in building on Australia’s economy in transition – and we do this through our publication, targeted industry forums, high-level roundtables and bespoke content and events.
The role
The Senior Producer – client content will own the execution and delivery of content projects commissioned by our clients, including podcasts, whitepaper reports, trade show artwork, advertising, marketing videos, thought leadership articles, social media and much more. You will often be the key point of contact between the client and broader team/suppliers, to consult on best practice and translate their ideas and messaging into high-impact content.
You must be an exceptional senior project manager who knows how to manage upwards and take responsibility for the delivery of production projects from start to finish.
In this role you will directly lead one team member, ensuring their effective contribution to projects. Additionally, you will have the confidence and experience to lead external stakeholders, from CEOs, region VPs and CMOs, to local subject matter experts and sales teams, to internal producers, copywriters and graphic designers.
After projects are scoped and approved, you will take full ownership, managing the execution from start to finish. You will be responsible for delivering a variety of content pieces – and occasionally events for our multinational enterprise tech clients, often in very tight timeframes!
Your role will encompass all areas including overarching strategy (and engaging the right people for the right thinking / subject matter expertise), project planning, talent acquisition and management, scheduling, briefing, supplier liaison, engagement of specialists like copywriters, graphic designers, and the digital team.
InnovationAus.com is a high-performing team that values proactivity, curiosity, and the confidence to grapple with tricky subject matter – and we expect the Senior Producer to hold these same values.
