About The Position

TentBox is the UK's leading roof tent brand, dedicated to revolutionizing outdoor exploration with high-performance roof tents. We are seeking a Creative Production Manager to cover a 12-month maternity leave. This role is crucial for the day-to-day operation of TentBox's content production. You will work closely with the Head of Content to plan, coordinate, and deliver creative output across various projects, including shoots, campaigns, and ongoing content. Your responsibilities will include ensuring projects are well-defined, timelines are met, and stakeholders are aligned, thereby keeping the team productive and unhindered. This is a highly operational role at the heart of the creative function, requiring more than just project management skills. You will contribute a creative perspective to shape content delivery across channels, manage workflows, coordinate internal teams, community and UGC creators, and external freelancers. You will act as the liaison between production and channels, ensuring creative assets are delivered efficiently, on schedule, and to a high standard. A key aspect of this role is a holistic approach to content, considering the creation of complete channel-specific asset suites rather than just individual deliverables.

Proactive approach to removing blockers and ability to keep work moving even when a brief isn't fully defined.
Strategic thinking about the end-consumer first, focusing on delivering cohesive, channel-specific asset suites rather than just individual files.

Deep understanding of how content workflows differ across social, paid media, and web.
Experience managing freelancers, UGC creators, and external creative partners.
