About Sia Experience - Creative
Sia Experience is the full-service creative agency within Sia. In the SiaX-Creative business line, we combine creative, CX, marketing, and deep AI expertise with industry-leading knowledge to deliver impactful, growth-focused solutions for our clients. By bringing together agencies known for standout work for leading brands, Sia is building SiaX into a premier player in the creative and digital agency space—pairing speed, creativity, and independence with the reach and resources of a global network.
At SiaX we’re nimble, deeply collaborative, and known for delivering high-impact work with lean teams. As strategic partners to our clients, we focus on building brands and delivering growth for clients aiming to break through creative barriers and accelerate digital transformation.
About the Role
Ensure that SiaX is optimized for profitability, creative excellence, and on-time execution. This role requires the ability to anticipate and answer critical business questions — from monthly breakeven and profit outlooks, to resource capacity, revenue levers, and staffing needs — while setting projects up for long-term success. Blending financial stewardship, resourcing strategy, and production leadership, you will serve as the connective tissue between agency operations and delivery of the work, giving leadership clear visibility into performance while enabling the team to execute at the highest level.
Your Impact
Profitability Owner : Own SiaX Creative BU’s contribution to agency profit by forecasting revenue, tracking breakeven, and pulling levers to close gaps (via staffing, resourcing, or business development support).
Operational Architect : Support the project management and Account Teams to translate new business wins into executable scopes, staffing models, and delivery plans that balance creative ambition with financial realities.
Production Leadership : Oversee and mentor a team of producers, ensuring flawless delivery across digital, social, paid media, OOH, video, branding, reporting and product builds.
Resource & Staffing Strategist : Anticipate bandwidth needs, optimize freelance vs. full-time mix, and ensure teams are staffed for both profitability and creative excellence.
Executive Partner : Serve as a trusted partner to agency leadership, surfacing risks, offering solutions, and ensuring projects ladder up to financial and strategic goals.
What Success Looks Like
Profit Mastery : Ability to articulate whether the agency is on track to meet monthly and quarterly profit targets, what levers exist to close gaps, and whether resources are aligned to support projected revenue, enabling consistent profit attainment and stronger client and team outcomes.
Forecasting Clarity : Leadership has a reliable view of upcoming work, staffing needs, and revenue projections.
Growth Enablement : Financial and operational discipline directly supports client satisfaction, retention, and agency growth.
Seamless Execution : Integrated campaigns consistently launch on time, on budget, and at high quality.
Team Empowerment : Producers feel supported, mentored, and clear on delivery and financial accountability.
Qualifications
10+ years of industry expertise in the digital advertising sector, with demonstrated success leading production operations at top-tier or high-revenue agencies on large-scale, high-volume, integrated campaigns requiring cross-disciplinary coordination.
Leadership and communication skills that enable effective partnership with agency leadership, finance, client services, and creative teams, while mentoring and developing senior production talent.
Advanced financial and resourcing expertise, including revenue forecasting, margin/breakeven analysis, budget management, and resource allocation across full-time and freelance teams; proficiency with project and financial management tools (e.g., Kantata, Workfront, Monday.com, Excel).
Career progression through production roles (Producer, Senior Producer, Executive Producer) with 8+ years of experience delivering and leading complex, multi-channel advertising campaigns (digital, social, OOH, video, experiential, product) on time and on budget.
We are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Sia is an equal opportunity employer. Details on our workplace guidelines and visa sponsorship policies are available on our site.
