Description

Description de l'entreprise Ubisoft is a global leader in gaming with teams across the world creating original and memorable gaming experiences, from Assassin’s Creed, Rainbow Six to Just Dance and more. We believe diverse perspectives help both players and teams thrive. If you’re passionate about innovation and pushing entertainment boundaries, join our journey and help us create the unknown! Description du poste We are looking for a skilled production management leader to manage and develop the team of Creative Project Managers (CPMs) within the Campaign Content Hub. This role is specifically responsible for the day-to-day management of asset production — translating briefs from Campaign Directors into executed, delivered assets through the coordination of internal designers, video editors, and external agencies. This is a hands-on production management role. The Group Manager, Creative Project Management is not responsible for campaign strategy, deliverable planning, or stakeholder governance — those responsibilities sit with Campaign Directors. Instead, this role ensures that once a brief is received, the production machine runs smoothly: the right resources are assigned, quality standards are met, and assets are delivered on time and on spec. How This Role Fits in the Campaign Content Hub The Campaign Content Hub operates with two distinct but complementary management layers: Campaign Managers own the big picture: they build the deliverable plan, manage relationships with Brand Managers and XF teams, run governance meetings, and are accountable for the overall campaign production roadmap. Creative Project Managers (CPMs), led by this role, own production execution: they receive briefs from Campaign Managers, coordinate the designers and editors doing the work, manage the day-to-day with agencies, and are responsible for the quality of the output that is delivered. The Group Manager, Creative Project Management ensures the CPM team operates as a high-performing, consistent, and scalable production function — bridging the gap between campaign intent and creative delivery. Key Responsibilities Team Leadership & Development Manage, coach, and develop a team of Creative Project Managers, providing clear direction, regular feedback, and structured development support. Define workload allocation across the CPM team, ensuring each PM has a clear "major" — a primary asset type expertise and preferred XF client relationship — while remaining transversal across campaign needs. Establish consistent ways of working across the CPM team: briefing standards, production tracking hygiene, agency communication protocols, and handoff processes. Act as the escalation point for production-level issues, unblocking CPMs when briefs are unclear, resources are unavailable, or agency delivery is at risk. Production Management & Brief Execution Ensure CPMs translate briefs received from Campaign Managers accurately into production-ready instructions for internal execution resources or external agencies. Oversee the day-to-day production workflow across all asset types: static crops and key art formats, video cutdowns, CRM assets, paid media formats, D2P materials, and localized versions. Monitor production status across all active jobs, maintaining accurate and up-to-date tracking in the shared delivery and workflow management tools. Ensure assets are delivered at the right quality, in the correct format, by the agreed deadline — flagging risks early and coordinating solutions with Campaign Managers when timelines are under pressure. Agency & Execution Resource Coordination Manage the day-to-day relationship with external creative agencies on behalf of CPMs, ensuring briefs are clear, feedback is consolidated, and rework is minimized. Partner with the Group Manager, Graphic Production to coordinate the use of internal designers and video editors, ensuring production requests are correctly routed and prioritized. Contribute to agency briefing framework development, ensuring transformation needs are clearly captured at the outset to limit billable rework. Track external production spend across active campaigns, flagging overruns to the Director of Campaign Program Management, and the Head of Creative Campaign Operations. Quality & Process Standards Hold the bar for execution quality across all CPM-managed assets — ensuring brand guideline adherence, technical format compliance, and consistency with the approved creative direction. Ensure mandatory QC steps in collaboration with the Senior Manager Global Publishing Localization (copy editing, compliance checks, translation review) are built into every production workflow, and that CPMs are not bypassing them under delivery pressure. Champion the adoption and disciplined use of workflow management tools, asset tracking platforms, and shared naming conventions across the CPM team. Identify recurring production errors or friction points and lead initiatives to eliminate root causes through improved briefing, templates, or process adjustments. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work in close, daily partnership with Campaign Managers, who provide the production briefs and campaign context that CPMs execute against. Collaborate with the Group Manager, Graphic Production to ensure seamless handoff between project management and in-house creative execution. Participate in resource management calls to align on production capacity, flag upcoming peaks, and coordinate resourcing decisions with Campaign Managers. Represent the CPM function in broader Campaign Content Hub planning and continuous improvement discussions. Qualifications Required A strong experience in creative project management or integrated production, with at least few years in a team management role. Proven expertise coordinating asset production across multiple formats: static and motion (key art, display, social, OOH); video (cutdowns, crops, localized versions), digital (CRM, D2P, paid media) and paper parts (box inlays, leaflets, disc label...) Strong working knowledge of creative production workflows from brief to delivery, including agency management, feedback consolidation, and QC processes. Experience operating in a centralized creative hub or shared-service production model. Highly proficient with project management and workflow tools (e.g. JIRA, Workfront, Airtable, Monday.com, Asana, or equivalent). Strong eye for quality — able to review assets against a brief or creative guideline and identify issues clearly and concisely. Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent productions without losing accuracy or detail. Clear, direct communicator — able to translate creative feedback into actionable production instructions for designers, editors, and agencies. Preferred Experience working in video games, entertainment, film, or consumer technology marketing. Familiarity with DAM platforms and asset metadata/tagging practices. Exposure to AI-assisted production tools for static or video asset adaptation. Fluency in French.
