Agency : Prose On Pixels Job Description : The Opportunity We’re looking for a Head of Production Systems — someone who loves transforming creative chaos into organized brilliance. You’ll be the go-to expert on Adobe Workfront and other production systems, designing smart workflows that make our global studios faster, more efficient, and better connected. You’ll be hands-on with configuration and workflow mapping, working closely with producers, project managers and creative teams to bring structure to the creative process — then partnering with development, training and support teams to scale those solutions globally. This role also plays a key part in implementing content automation workflows — ensuring that automation initiatives are correctly deployed and operationalized — and in supporting the integration of financial workflows within Workfront, working closely with Operations and Finance teams to align process, data, and reporting. What You’ll Do Design and Build Workflows: Translate real-world production processes into scalable, intuitive Workfront configurations, forms, and templates. Implement Content Automation: Work with the Technical Architecture team to translate automation concepts into working solutions, ensuring they are correctly implemented, tested, and adopted across production teams. Financial Workflow Alignment: Collaborate with Operations and Finance teams to design, configure, and maintain Workfront workflows that integrate financial tracking, approvals, and reporting. Rollouts: Partner with production teams during early rollout phases, helping them transition onto new systems and workflows. Champion Adoption: Collaborate with training teams to ensure smooth onboarding and enthusiastic adoption across global studios. Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work alongside Development, Operations, and Support teams to ensure Workfront plays nicely with AEM, Frame.io, and other production tools. Drive Continuous Improvement: Spot opportunities to automate, optimize, and evolve — turning feedback into smarter systems. Shape the Future: Contribute to the global Architecture Council, ensuring our workflows and data model are consistent, scalable, and future-ready. Who You Are Deeply familiar with Adobe Workfront (or equivalent tools like Wrike, Monday.com, or Asana). Experienced in media production or creative operations, especially in agencies or production studios. Comfortable working with financial workflows and data (e.g., job costing, project budgeting, approval chains). A workflow designer who sees patterns, simplifies complexity, and loves making systems intuitive. A confident communicator who can collaborate with creative, technical, and operational teams. Hands-on with system setup, form design, and user configuration — but strategic enough to see the global picture. Passionate about improving how teams work — and how technology can make creativity flow faster. Bonus Points For Knowledge of Adobe AEM and Frame.io. Understanding of Workfront Fusion or API-driven workflows (handled by a dedicated integration team). Experience leading rollout workshops or training sessions. Familiarity with financial workflow automation and/or ERP integration. Curiosity about how technology can evolve creative production. Success Looks Like Global adoption of the Adobe Content Supply Chain. Smooth rollout and implementation of content automation workflows across global teams. Seamless integration of financial workflows into production processes. Efficient, consistent workflows across all hubs. Production teams who love using the tools you’ve built. A foundation for data-driven, scalable creative operations. #LI-CO1 Contract Type : Permanent Here at Havas across the group we pride ourselves on being committed to offering equal opportunities to all potential employees and have zero tolerance for discrimination.
