The Role: Director of Production 

TH Experiential is seeking a Director of Production to serve as a senior agency leader responsible for production excellence across all experiential programs. This is a hands-on, deeply experienced production leadership role—not a generalist or purely operational position.

The Director of Production owns how TH brings ideas to life: translating creative vision into executable, on-budget, on-time experiences that build trust with clients and elevate the agency’s reputation. This leader has seen it all—from complex vendor negotiations and fabrication challenges to last-minute logistics pivots—and brings strong judgment, calm authority, and a clear point of view to every program.

Working as a peer counterpart to Account and Creative leadership, the Director of Production is both a builder and a standard-bearer: developing the production team, shaping how production shows up in pitches, and ensuring the work is tight, realistic, and profitable. As volume grows, the role is designed to be increasingly oversight-driven, with hands-on production focused at key moments rather than owning every show end-to-end.

Compensation is $175K – $200K base.

About TH Experiential

TH Experiential is a creatively-led experiential agency built on craft, collaboration, and trusted client partnership. Since 2006, we’ve helped leading global brands create culturally resonant, meticulously produced experiences that blend storytelling, design, and real-world impact. We bring deep activation expertise across fabrication, production, and execution—delivering work that shapes culture and creates moments to remember.

As experiential demand accelerates, TH is entering its next chapter of intentional growth. We’re evolving our leadership team and production model to support a growing slate of ambitious programs while protecting quality, margins, and team health. This is an opportunity for a seasoned production leader to help define how great work gets made—and how it scales.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Production Leadership & Execution Excellence

• Own the full production lifecycle from award through closeout, ensuring programs are delivered on time, on budget, and to TH’s quality standards.
• Set the bar for run of show, show flow, timelines, and executional detail—ensuring work is tight, buttoned up, and client-ready.
• Oversee sourcing, bidding, fabrication, logistics, and onsite execution across programs.
• Travel as needed to support key onsite moments and critical checkpoints.
  

Budget Ownership & Vendor Oversight

• Own production budgets end-to-end, including vendor selection, triple-bidding, negotiations, and spend control.
• Build and maintain a trusted vendor and fabricator ecosystem, setting clear standards for when and how partners are used.
• Ensure production decisions align with approved scope, budget, and margin targets.
• Lead vendor closeouts and ensure financial accuracy across invoices, expenses, and reconciliations.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, and develop the production team (EPs, Senior Producers, Producers, Coordinators).
• Establish clear expectations, standards, and ways of working across full-time and freelance producers.
• Coach the team to deliver confidently, communicate clearly, and manage both creative ambition and financial responsibility.
• Build a scalable production org that balances in-house leadership with flexible freelance support.

Client-Facing Authority

• Serve as the production authority in key client moments, including pitches, kickoffs, and high-stakes conversations.
• Instill confidence bringing credibility, calm, and decisiveness to the room.
• Partner closely with Account and Creative leadership to align expectations early and avoid downstream risk.

Pre-Sale & Upstream Support

• Engage upstream in scoping, feasibility, and pricing, ensuring projects are set up realistically and profitably.
• Support a meaningful portion of pre-sale work, recognizing the value of experienced production input early in the process.
• Identify executional risks and opportunities before work is sold, not after it’s awarded.

Financial Partnership & Margin Awareness

• Act as a partner in margin management, understanding how production decisions impact hours, cost, and profitability.
• Make informed calls on where to invest vs. pull back to protect both the work and the business.
• Not a pure “numbers” role, but must be financially fluent and commercially minded.

Target Qualifications

• 10–12+ years of deep experiential and live events production experience.
• Extensive hands-on background across vendors, fabrication, logistics, permitting, budgeting, and onsite execution.
