As our Production Manager, you will be responsible for managing a small team of four including a graphic designer, desktop publisher, QA manager, and a project support officer. The production team is involved in the creation of a diverse range of multilingual assets including audio, video, animations, social media, and print material. You will be responsible for ensuring all production tasks are completed on time and within budget while actively identifying and implementing opportunities to improve production workflows and processes.
