About Us
We’re a multidisciplinary creative studio producing ambitious experiences for some of the world’s most iconic luxury brands, cultural organisations, and private clients.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve brought together creatives, makers, technical experts, designers, and producers to deliver projects that push boundaries — blending storytelling, design, engineering, and innovation to create unforgettable spaces and experiences.
From immersive installations and large-scale activations to technically complex builds across the globe, our work lives at the intersection of creativity and precision.
Now, we’re looking for a Senior Production Manager to help bring the next generation of extraordinary ideas to life.
The Opportunity
This is a role for someone who loves figuring out how to make ambitious things happen.
As Senior Production Manager, you’ll lead technical delivery across some of our most exciting and complex projects — translating creative ideas into real-world experiences with confidence, calmness, and technical expertise.
You’ll work closely with creative, design, and project teams from the earliest stages of concept development, helping shape ideas through technical insight and production know-how. You’ll be the person people turn to when the challenge feels impossible — and the one who finds the solution.
From managing large-scale builds and installation programmes to overseeing suppliers, fabrication, logistics, and on-site execution, you’ll play a central role in how our work gets made.
This is a senior leadership role with real influence, autonomy, and impact.
