Who We Are Hi! We’re Thinkingbox, the brief to built agency. Creating innovative digital, experiential, social, and content, we partner with leading brands across industries like sports, gaming, entertainment, and technology. We believe the hands that carefully craft the work should belong to the minds that dreamed it. So while others pass the buck, we’re already building. Because our thinkers are also the makers. Culture is at the heart of who we are, and our offices are hubs of natural collaboration. From hanging out with our office dogs to enjoying Thursday happy hours, we keep our work environment vibrant, welcoming, and fun. Each year, we also encourage our people to spend a month exploring the world, whether that means working from another office or even from the beaches of Mexico, to expand their perspectives and bring fresh inspiration back to the team. The Opportunity We’re looking for a Director of Production to lead production across the studio while playing a key role in the continued growth of the business.

Oversee the full production lifecycle, including estimating, resourcing, timelines, budgets, execution, and delivery.

Partner with creative, strategy, technology, and account teams to translate ambitious ideas into executable production plans. Work closely with finance and leadership on forecasting, budget management, pipeline visibility, and revenue planning.

Lead, mentor, and develop producers and production team members, building a high-performing and scalable production function. Help evolve Thinkingbox’s production offering and identify new capabilities, partnerships, and opportunities that strengthen our position in the market. What You'll Bring 8+ years of senior production experience within an agency, studio, or similarly fast-paced creative environment.
