About The Position

The Senior Production Artist turns creative concepts and brand systems into accurate, compelling, production-ready work across print, digital, social, and emerging channels. This hands-on role combines craft, technical expertise, quality control, and practical problem-solving to help teams deliver consistent work at scale, from initial adaptation through final release. The role partners with creative, account, strategy, media, digital, and production colleagues; contributes to efficient studio workflows; and helps uphold quality, accessibility, and brand integrity across executions. The role receives general direction from the Director of Studio Operations and/or Studio Lead. It independently manages assigned production work, communicates status and dependencies, and seeks review or guidance when scope, risk, or creative direction requires it. It may provide day-to-day production guidance or quality feedback to teammates, but is not necessarily a people-management position. The role operates in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment managing multiple projects and shifting deadlines. Specific tools, channels, responsibilities, and experience expectations may vary by team and client portfolio. Omnicom policy requires employees to work in the office at least three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by the agency or manager.
