The right person should be able to hear a simple creative concept — "we're producing a 12-episode comedy series" — and immediately start building the operational roadmap: timeline, studio and space needs, set construction, camera and lighting packages, audio requirements, crew size, budget, production and edit schedules, staffing plan, equipment gaps, risk areas, and where the process can be streamlined. Maintain a complete, centralized understanding of the company's production capabilities: every camera, lens, and lighting package, audio inventory, storage, live production equipment, editing and server infrastructure, and studio capabilities.
