About Thesis

Thesis is an independent agency working at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and technology. We partner with ambitious brands to solve complex business and marketing challenges and create ideas, experiences, and systems built to scale.

Role Overview

As a Senior Technical Producer at Thesis, you are a delivery strategist, product owner, and trusted client partner who turns complex business needs into seamless digital and technical execution. This role goes beyond tracking milestones—you will shape delivery strategy across multidisciplinary teams, acting as the essential translator between client ambitions and technical delivery. You're a thinker and a maker with operational clarity, strategic instincts, and the ability to move fluidly between high-level roadmapping and roll-up-your-sleeves execution.

You'll play a critical role in establishing delivery rigor across high-value workstreams, translating complex workflows and processes into crisp product requirements to deliver operational systems built in Airtable. In parallel, you'll partner closely with Accountand Technology leadership to ensure project profitability, anticipate client needs, and build operational frameworks that allow our teams to make great work efficiently and at scale.
