About The Position

Overtime is looking for an experienced production leader to serve as Head of Production Management and oversee the end-to-end production management lifecycle across our leagues, branded content, and live events. As the leader of Overtime’s Production Management team, you’ll oversee the people, budgets, logistics, and operational planning that bring our productions to life. You’ll set the direction for the team and ensure every production is properly staffed, budgeted, planned, and executed. This role will manage a complex and constantly evolving production calendar across Overtime’s leagues, branded content shoots, content production, and events. You’ll work cross-functionally with teams across the organization, league leadership, and external partners to develop budgets and production plans, manage resources, identify risks, and solve problems before they impact execution. We’re looking for someone who understands every stage of production and can balance senior-level department leadership with hands-on production management. The right person is highly organized, financially disciplined, calm under pressure, and comfortable leading teams through fast-moving, complex productions.
