[Hiring] Production Manager @AJMedia

Role Description

The Production Manager sits at the center of AJ Media’s funnel production engine. You own the end-to-end delivery of performance marketing funnels - from first brief to live launch — while managing a cross-functional team of developers, designers, and researchers. You keep the production wheel moving fast without breaking it, and you’re accountable for quality, speed, and win rate across every funnel we ship.

Key Responsibilities

• Funnel Production & Launch
  • Own the full funnel lifecycle: landing page, sales page, checkout page, and post-purchase flow.
  • Assign, prioritize, and track all funnel builds across the dev team pipeline.
  • Conduct QA audits before every launch, ensuring accuracy, brand congruency, correct pricing, and mobile responsiveness.
  • Set up and verify Voluum tracking on all funnels before signoff.
  • Coordinate MID allocation per funnel and escalate payment processor requirements (country-specific gateways, billing profiles) to the relevant team.
  • Ensure all funnel pages are de-indexed from search engines and meet compliance standards.
• Team Management
  • Lead and manage the production team: frontend and backend developers, researchers, and designers.
  • Run regular 1:1s and weekly team huddles to align priorities and unblock delivery.
  • Onboard and evaluate new team members via trial tasks; define evaluation criteria for funnel accuracy, branding, and page structure.
  • Coach the team on QA standards, production SOPs, and proper link curation for funnels.
  • Identify and monitor individual KPIs including pages built, funnel delivery rate, QA scores, and win rate.
• Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Work closely with Copywriters and Creative Strategists to receive briefs and ensure creatives are production-ready before builds begin.
  • Coordinate with media buyers and the strategy team to align funnel launches with campaign timelines and traffic allocation.
  • Liaise with the Intelligence / Research team to ensure correct offer links are passed to production.
  • Communicate launch readiness and blockers to relevant stakeholders proactively.
• Operations & Tooling
  • Manage and optimize tools used by the production team (Airtable, CheckoutChamp, and others).
  • Leverage AI tools and automation to increase output without increasing overhead.
  • Maintain production trackers: funnels delivered, QA scores, individual KPIs, and win rate metrics.
  • Identify process improvements and build systems that allow the team to scale.
  • Support the introduction and onboarding of new roles (e.g., Head of Brands) as the team structure evolves.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing a production or project team in a DTC e-commerce or performance marketing environment.
• Hands-on familiarity with funnel-building tools (CheckoutChamp).
• Strong understanding of conversion funnel structure: advertorial, landing page, OTO/upsell flow, checkout.
• Experience with tracking setup and basic payment gateway / MID management.
• Sharp eye for QA: able to catch copy errors, broken links, pricing mismatches, and design inconsistencies.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent builds and shifting priorities without dropping the ball.
• Strong written communication skills; able to give clear briefs and feedback asynchronously.

Nice to Have

• Background in media buying or close collaboration with media buyers.
• Experience with AI-powered design or production tools (HailuoAI, Gemini, ChatGPT).
• Working knowledge of HTML/CSS basics for light troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with Slack-based team workflows.

Benefits

• Direct ownership — you run it, you own it, you see the results.
• High-leverage role — a key bottleneck to AJ Media's growth is the speed and reliability of production, you own it.
• No red tape — decisions move fast, execution is what matters.
• Managing your own team.
• Remote-first, results-driven culture — flexible work, high accountability.
• Competitive Salary, Paid leaves, and allowances.
• Performance incentives tied to the successful production you supported.
