Traffic Resource Manager

Traffic Resource Manager

Together, we work towards achieving our mission:
To Solve Today’s Complex Content Puzzles.

Behind every great production is a well-organised team. At Wenneker Amsterdam, we work on multiple productions simultaneously, bringing together different creative and technical disciplines to deliver high-quality content for our clients.

Our flexibility is one of our strengths, but making that work requires a clear overview of projects, people and capacity. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Traffic & Resource Planner who brings structure to a dynamic production environment. Someone who enjoys connecting the dots, keeping an overview and looking ahead. You'll be responsible for our central post-production planning, making sure the right people are available for the right projects at the right time.

You won't be managing individual projects or dealing with day-to-day client communication. Our Executive Producers and Post Producers take care of that. Your role is to look across all projects, connect the planning and resources, anticipate what's coming and make sure we can deliver on our commitments without constantly being led by the demands of the day.

Full-time · Amsterdam

- Managing and maintaining the central post-production and resource planning across all projects and disciplines.

- Taking the lead in coordinating resources and aligning teams, ensuring the right people are available for the right projects at the right time.

- Keeping an overview of current and upcoming projects, workloads and
resource requirements.

- Looking 4–12 weeks ahead to anticipate capacity needs and identify
potential bottlenecks.

- Matching available people and skills to project requirements, ensuring a balanced and realistic workload.

- Maintaining continuity within project teams and avoiding unnecessary changes in project assignments.

- Taking ownership of planning discipline across the organisation, ensuring teams work according to agreed priorities and commitments.

- Challenging existing plans and ways of working when necessary, taking the lead in finding solutions and ensuring follow-up.

- Coordinating the availability and deployment of freelancers and external resources.

- Identifying recurring inefficiencies and suggesting improvements to our planning processes and ways of working.

- Providing management with clear insights into capacity, workload and
resource utilisation.

What you bring

- 7+ years of relevant experience in traffic management, resource planning, production planning or operations within a creative production environment.

- Proven experience in managing complex planning processes and resource allocation across multiple projects and disciplines.

Who you are

- You're an experienced and decisive professional who naturally takes the lead. You combine a strong organisational mindset with the ability to manage people, align different teams and create a sense of ownership and accountability.

- You don't just maintain a planning system; you take ownership of the entire planning process and make sure it works for the organisation. You're comfortable challenging assumptions, addressing conflicting priorities and having difficult conversations when plans need to change.

- You know how to balance flexibility with discipline. You understand that being flexible towards clients shouldn't mean constantly disrupting the people and processes behind the work.

- You're proactive, confident and solution-oriented. You bring calm to a busy environment, create clarity where things get complicated and have the leadership skills to make things happen.

What do we offer?

- A vibrant work environment characterised by open communication without barriers, flexible scheduling, competitive compensation and ample vacation opportunities.

- Our productions don't adhere to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule; that's the nature of our work. However, we believe in maintaining a healthy balance rather than relying on overtime, and we prioritise looking out for each other and adopting a flexible approach to working hours.

- We prioritise your development because when you grow, we grow.

- Fun is the fuel that ignites our creativity, both during and after traditional work hours! From drinks to trips to AdNights and beyond.

- We primarily work directly with brands and emphasise building lasting relationships. This provides us with a level of stability that's uncommon in
our industry.

- We recognise the importance of taking breaks, which is why we offer you 25 days of vacation annually.

- Enjoy a well-stocked fridge and a complimentary healthy lunch served every day.

- Work in a creative space with a lovely terrace overlooking the water, where we gather for weekly Thursday afternoon drinks when the weather permits.

- Once a year, we embark on an adventure with the entire company.

- We ensure you have the right equipment with the best software, so nothing will hinder your productivity.
