Coach team members through real work, providing actionable feedback, identifying development needs and building consistent performance across the team. Manage production velocity, ensuring the function consistently delivers the required volume while maintaining high creative standards. Identify production bottlenecks, inefficiencies and recurring issues, then design and implement solutions that improve speed, quality and reliability. Build scalable production systems covering workflows, team structures, capacity planning, prioritisation, resource allocation and quality assurance.
