We are seeking an experienced Production Manager to lead all production disciplines at LIFE Melbourne, including audio, lighting, live video, live streaming, and stage management. This is a full time, hands on leadership role for someone who brings both strong technical competency and a genuine heart for developing people. Working in close partnership with the Programming Director, Worship Oversight, and Creative Director, you will ensure every service and event is executed in line with our strategic goals.
Beyond the technical, this role carries significant people responsibility. You will lead, train, and develop the Production Coordinator, team leaders, and a large volunteer base, building clear pathways from enquiry through to rostered team member. You will set the standard for production quality at LIFE Melbourne and champion a culture of continuous growth across the team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and developing production leaders and volunteers across all disciplines, including audio, lighting, live video, and stage management
- Operating as Technical Director, audio engineer, lighting operator, or video director as rostered across Sunday services and events
- Overseeing production preparation for events, conferences, and major seasonal services including Easter and Christmas
- Taking primary responsibility for equipment maintenance, repair, and asset management across all production areas
- Working with the Production Coordinator to ensure rosters are built two months in advance and maintained at a healthy fill rate
- Partnering closely with the Programming Director to align production strategy with the broader vision of the church
If you are someone who takes full ownership of your environment, is equally comfortable directing a team and operating behind a console, and is committed to both the craft and the local church, we would love to hear from you.
