OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION:

OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers is excited to announce a recruited placement in partnership with wonderMakr for the role of Assistant Producer.

wonderMakr is a creative technology agency that engineers and develops innovative digital + live experiences for brands, agencies and consumers. At wonderMakr, we explore new technologies, platforms and ideas for our clients. Our sense of wonder is fuelled by more than 20 years in the experiential and event-marketing industry. At wonderMakr, ideas are nurtured, failure is embraced, and success is measured in audible gasps. We ask questions, experiment, play and then perfect the technology until it's ready to be put in front of the most demanding audience: your fans, followers and future customers.

You thrive in dynamic environments where no two days—or projects—are ever the same.You’re organized, curious, adaptable, and deeply driven by the desire to solve problems and make the impossible possible. You support our Producers in executing physical and digital experiences that push boundaries, helping manage the flow of communication, coordination, logistics, and documentation.

Your Mission: Is to bridge the gap between business development and production. You will be involved in the process right from the start, where a project might be nothing more than a vague idea. You will be in client meetings taking notes, ensuring all details are captured clearly and working with our Senior Leadership team to make sales presentations and estimates. You will work closely with the Director of Production and Director of Operations to brief in approved projects to the Production and Technical Teams.
