We’re looking to fill a PM role that wears a producer hat too. Is that possible? Or should we look for producer that also acts as a PM?

To elaborate, producers hold project management skills, but PMs generally don’t have the specific creative or technical expertise for film/radio, etc

It’s two separate jobs. It should be two people, not one person struggling to do both.

Producing is project management.

One suggestion if going down the Producer experienced PM path (the latter) is to ensure the Producer truly wants to move into a PM, primarily operational focused, role and won’t miss being a creative. We’ve had success with PMs who’ve worked within video projects for multiple years and can apply the methodologies of a PM to that capability.

very good point. would definitely have an open and honest conversation about the job description. definitely isn’t ideal and not for everyone.

Agreed. They are completely two different jobs, if you don’t know that you need to hand over the reins of hiring to someone who does.

funny

I definitely know that. I have an in-house startup situation where we all have to wear many hats and I am trying to find solutions for project management right now we are managing our own projects. I am trying to find a way to make it work with a low head count. Thanks for nothing :).
