Job Description
ABOUT JELLY
Jelly is a specialist creative studio with bases in London, New York, and Barcelona — and a fi rm belief that great production is nothing without great thinking. We partner with world-class talent to help brands solve real problems and tell stories that actually connect. Our work is rooted in animation, illustration, and lettering, spanning everything from 2d cel animation to high end 3d, character design to fonts, motion graphics to mixed media live action - all brought together under one creative vision. We're not a production company that executes briefs. We're a creative partner for brands who want more than just deliverables.

THE ROLE
Jelly is evolving, and this role is central to that. You'll be the day-to-day engine running projects across our UK, EU and US client base. You're not just managing timelines - you're the connective tissue between our clients, our creative team, and our talent network. You have a deep love of craft, you genuinely care about the work - and our clients and talent will feel that.
You'll report to our Global Head of Production and work closely with our Executive Creative Directors, EPs, and talent roster.

Client & Project Leadership
- Serve as the primary day-to-day contact on projects — building trust, managing expectations, and communicating with clarity and confidence.
- Lead scoping, budgeting, and scheduling of projects from brief through to delivery.
- Ability to digest a brief and break it down into a solid production plan — always balancing quality, timing, and cost, whether the project is 2D, 3D, stop motion, or mixed media. If you don’t know something, you’ll know who to call.
- Define the right production setup for each project — roles, fees, and timelines — in close collaboration with our EPs and Head of Production.
- Having access to a strong, proven network of key talents and collaborators to build smart and competitive teams
- Collaborate with the creative team to help shape and interrogate briefs — asking the right questions, not just taking the brief at face value. You care about the work enough to have an opinion - and you're not afraid to use it in a creative conversation.
- Having an integral role in treatments and pitches, helping us win work and convert opportunities.
- Manage changing circumstances with clients diplomatically and proactively, always keeping the Global Head of Production informed.
- A curious mindset, being up to date with production pipelines and new ways of producing i.e. AI workflows.

- Oversee projects from end-to-end: from initial scoping and ensuring we have the right team in place through to production and delivery.
- Manage timelines, deadlines, and resource bandwidth across active projects, coordinating with the global team.
- Be accountable for project budgets and margins, always looking for ways to push our production approach to be more efficient and effective.
- Maintain Jelly's high standards of quality, craft, and communication throughout every project.

- Help recruit and manage crew and talent that align with Jelly's standards and values.
- Stay across industry trends and bring fresh thinking to production challenges and client briefs.
- Support Jelly's social responsibility outreach as part of our commitment to DEI and leaving the industry in a better place than we found it.

WHO YOU ARE
You're the kind of producer who doesn't wait to be told what to do. You spot a problem before it becomes a crisis, communicate before anyone has to chase you, and take genuine pride in the quality of everything that goes out the door. You're as comfortable in a creative review as you are in a budget spreadsheet and you understand that great production is what makes great creative actually happen.
You care about the work, the people making it, and the clients trusting you with it. You're ready to be part of a studio that's ambitious, evolving, and serious about doing things differently.
