Role Purpose
Imagine shaping the future of entertainment for some of the world’s most beloved brands. At Hasbro Entertainment, we’re looking for a Supervising Producer who thrives on turning big ideas into unforgettable experiences — across every screen and platform.

This is more than a production role; it’s a leadership opportunity at the heart of our creative engine. You’ll guide a dynamic team of full-time and freelance talent, orchestrating content that spans digital, linear, SVOD, and FAST — all while breathing new life into iconic franchises like My Little Pony, Transformers, Peppa Pig, and beyond.

Your mission? To balance visionary leadership with hands-on craftsmanship. You’ll line-produce one of our flagship series, setting the gold standard for operational excellence and creative culture that keeps our entire slate moving forward.

Reporting to the Director of Digital Content, you’ll partner with senior creatives and post-production experts to ensure every project hits the mark — on time, on budget, and at a level of quality that delights fans worldwide.

If you’re ready to lead with passion, inspire innovation, and make an impact on a global stage, this is your moment.

We need a confident, hands-on leader who can keep complex productions running smoothly and creatively. Here’s what matters most:

• Budget & Scope Mastery – You can build and manage detailed budgets for multi-episode shows, negotiate fair rates, and keep projects within scope without stifling creativity.
• Digital Pipeline Know-How – Experience with fast-paced digital content workflows is a big plus. You’ll juggle your own show while overseeing others in a high-volume environment.
• Stakeholder & Partner Management – You’re comfortable representing the team, handling tough conversations, and building strong relationships internally and externally.
• Team Leadership – Calm under pressure, experienced in managing and developing talent, and ready to roll up your sleeves when needed.
• Culture Fit – We operate like a startup within Hasbro: no egos, no silos, just a collaborative team where everyone pitches in.
