- Put everything in place to pave the way for production: develop workflows and pipelines + implement means to facilitate interaction between colleagues.
- Set clear goals for your team members to achieve + make sure the process of delivering those goals is as smooth as possible.
- Anticipate risks & put plans of action in place to overcome them.
- Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, give updates, address concerns, provide direction, gather feedback, etc.
- Sync up with other production team members on progress and momentum + follow up on budgets.
- Look for opportunities to improve and evolve our processes, methods, and practices.
- Take part in recruitment to build your team + foster their professional growth and career progression.
