Remote Position - Reports To: Executive Producer / Project Director Team Lead
Nurture Healthy Relationships

Yep, we said the relationship thing twice! We’re a relational organization that relies heavily on a healthy partnership between our Senior Leadership and Project Directors with the common goal of establishing long-term relationships with clients all while delivering exceptional work.
Steward the Story
Project Directors ensure that the story’s consistency and integrity are kept front and centre for everyone on the project. This is an exciting challenge as the expanse of our work is unique— combining 3 dimensions of storytelling—strategic, interactive, and spatial. Those dimensions cover everything from architecture to Intellectual Property management, from bluesky concept phase to boots on the ground construction, from engineering integrations to guest experience narratives.
No matter the project phase or complexity of scope, you’ll advocate for each team and every output to reflect the story.
Build Client Confidence
It’s often said that an Project Director is the “second smartest person in the room on every topic”. Great project directors have a strong project management base, a working knowledge of each discipline and understand how to lean on the specific expertise of the wider team. As the producer, you’re “in-charge” of the project and take ownership of the final outcome and solution. That means you’ll need to become familiar with the client’s industry, business, customers, and pain points. You need to know each phase of development and which disciplines are integral along the way. This “been there, done that” knowledge, enables you to field questions on the fly and respond in a way that produces confidence and reassurance.
Grow Forward
We’re hiring someone who will roll up their sleeves and add value on day one, but we also believe in the potential of every employee. We want you to grow, we want you to have a growth mindset, and we’ll look to support that growth with the opportunity to work with industry veterans on a wide scope of projects. Storyland Studios continues to shepherd the growth of our European and Middle Eastern client base, and we also have our eyes on further expansion into Southeast Asia. We want you to grow and we want you to help us as we do too.
With a wealth of experience in the place-based design and/or themed entertainment industry, you will be used to running immersive design and architectural projects of all shapes and sizes. Your portfolio and CV will demonstrate that you have successfully lived, worked and installed beyond the concept phase of major projects. You will be skilled at assembling and managing project teams, including freelance and sub-contractors. Ideally you’ll have an established network of resources in which you can call upon to potentially augment the internal Storyland project teams. Finally the right person for this role is someone who relishes the opportunity to work on international projects and familiar with the challenges of navigating design and construction projects in emerging markets, like the Middle East.
For day-to-day success, you will…
