Our short, inspirational videos centered on life, business, and relationships generate more than 1 billion monthly views and have amassed over 70 billion views across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Led by Dhar Mann, a mission-driven entrepreneur with a global audience of over 160+ million followers, the company exists to do more than entertain. We create stories that make an impact. We are not just telling stories, we are changing lives.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">BIG PICTURE</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Dhar Mann Studios is entering one of the most important operational transitions in the company's history: moving from our current Burbank production footprint into a new San Fernando Valley studio facility designed to support the next era of high-volume scripted content. To ensure the move becomes an operational upgrade, not just a real estate upgrade, we are looking for a world-class production operator, studio move consultant, or production efficiency expert to help us design one of the most cost-effective, high-output scripted content studios anywhere.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Today, Dhar Mann Studios operates roughly 10 crews across 3 stages and 2 homes in Burbank, with approximately 65 standing sets, producing 5+ hours of scripted content per week. A typical 25-minute episode currently shoots over approximately 5 days. Our next operating leap is to ask a much harder question: what would it take to move toward dramatically faster production cycles, potentially even 1-day scripted episode shoots, while maintaining a high creative bar?</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">The new facility is a 4-acre lot with a 145,000 sq. ft. studio, including 5 soundstages totaling roughly 50,000 sq. ft., 95 offices/production spaces, and another 50,000 sq. ft. of usable space. The opportunity is massive. So is the risk. A bigger facility can either unlock step-function efficiency or quietly multiply waste. The right person will help us avoid the second outcome.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This is not a traditional studio buildout role, and it is not the day-to-day project manager role. We are looking for the expert who helps us decide what the future operating model should be: what to reuse, what to rebuild, what to eliminate, what to pre-rig, what technology to test, and what workflows must change before we lock ourselves into a larger version of today's constraints.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">You will evaluate the space, pressure-test ideas, challenge assumptions, and make practical recommendations across stages, standing sets, technical infrastructure, equipment packages, department layout, and production workflow. The Project Manager will own execution tracking; you will own the expert diagnosis, strategic recommendations, and operating design that execution is built around. </span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This role requires someone practical, scrappy, deeply experienced, allergic to unnecessary spending, and strong enough to challenge assumptions from every department.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">HOW YOU'LL SPEND YOUR TIME</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Audit the current production operation across stages, homes, standing sets, props, wardrobe, art, lighting, camera, sound, facilities, storage, offices, and crew flow.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Establish current production baselines and future KPIs, including shoot days per episode, reset time, stage utilization, cost per finished minute, crew flow, and bottlenecks.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Evaluate the new facility and recommend how stages, offices, production spaces, storage areas, department zones, shared infrastructure, and crew pathways should be configured.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Identify which current sets, assets, equipment, workflows, and infrastructure should be reused, modified, rebuilt, retired, or replaced.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Assess whether virtual production, green screen, LED walls, AI tools, game engines, pre-lighting, pre-rigging, or other emerging technologies could realistically make DMS faster, cheaper, or more creatively flexible.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Recommend stage layouts, standing set strategies, modular set systems, swing sets, redress systems, storage approaches, lighting infrastructure, camera packages, sound workflows, and other practical production improvements.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Help leadership understand the tradeoffs between speed, quality, cost, flexibility, culture, safety, and capital investment.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Build a capital spend/ROI framework so every major investment is tied to measurable efficiency, quality, or cost savings.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Pressure-test new technology, processes, and operating modes through practical pilots before major spend.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Partner with production, art, wardrobe, hair/makeup, props, facilities, booking, finance, post, creative, and executive leadership to understand current pain points and future needs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Challenge existing processes that may be comfortable but inefficient, especially where the move creates a chance to rebuild the system correctly.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Translate recommendations into clear operating plans, diagrams, vendor scope recommendations, staffing implications, budget logic, decision frameworks, and implementation guidance for the Project Manager and internal teams.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Identify ways the art department can create many distinct looks without adding unnecessary complexity, cost, or reset time.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Support vendor evaluation, contractor conversations, equipment planning, and buildout prioritization where your expertise is needed.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Create the strategic documentation, operating principles, and handoff materials required for internal teams to execute and sustain the new operating model.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">DMS has a clear, cost-conscious production efficiency and relocation strategy before major money is spent.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Leadership understands exactly what must move, what must change, what should be eliminated, and where capital should be deployed.The new facility is designed around high-output digital production, not traditional studio functions.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Existing assets are reused intelligently without recreating old inefficiencies.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Stage layouts, standing sets, department locations, equipment packages, and workflows are designed for speed, repeatability, quality, and cost discipline.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">The company has a credible path toward reducing shoot time per episode while protecting quality.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Recommendations are practical enough for a Project Manager and internal department owners to execute.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Capital spend is disciplined, justified, and tied to measurable production outcomes.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHAT YOU HAVE</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">10+ years of experience in studio operations, physical production, production consulting, production efficiency, scripted content operations, studio buildouts, or high-volume media operations.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Proven experience building, running, optimizing, or consulting for a high-output content studio, production company, creator studio, broadcast operation, or scripted production environment.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Strong practical judgment around low-budget, high-volume production, not just premium TV, film, or commercial production.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Deep understanding of the full production lifecycle, including pre-production, production, art, sets, props, wardrobe, hair/makeup, camera, lighting, sound, facilities, scheduling, and post-production handoffs.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Experience improving production throughput, reducing waste, simplifying workflows, and designing repeatable operating systems.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Ability to evaluate physical spaces and translate them into efficient production, office, storage, and department layouts.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Strong understanding of standing sets, stage planning, production design, lighting grids, technical infrastructure, equipment workflows, and crew movement.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Familiarity with virtual production, green screen, LED volume, AI production tools, game engines, and emerging production technology with the judgment to know when they are useful versus expensive distractions.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Strong budgeting instincts and the ability to separate nice-to-have ideas from investments that actually move the business.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Excellent cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work with executives, department heads, creatives, operators, vendors, and crew.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Direct, decisive, low-ego communication style with the confidence to push back when the current plan is expensive, impractical, or operationally weak.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Strong documentation skills, including roadmaps, scopes, layouts, operating plans, SOPs, cost-benefit analyses, and executive summaries.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Willingness to be on-site regularly in Los Angeles throughout the planning and execution process.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHO OVERSEES YOU</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This role reports to Sean Atkins and works closely with executive leadership, Head of Production, production management, art department leadership, facilities, finance, creative leadership, and department heads across the studio.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This role requires strong peer leadership. You will need to influence teams that do not report to you by creating clarity, earning trust, challenging assumptions, and following through.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHO YOU OVERSEE</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This is an individual consultant role. You may coordinate with internal stakeholders, vendors, contractors, department leads, and project-based resources as needed. You will work closely with the Studio Relocation Project Manager, who will own execution tracking, task follow-up, documentation upkeep, and timeline management.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHERE IT ALL GOES DOWN</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This role is based in Los Angeles, CA, with regular on-site work at both the current Dhar Mann Studios facility and the new studio facility. This is not a remote strategy role. The work requires walking stages, auditing spaces, pressure-testing workflows, and seeing the operation firsthand.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">This is a project-based consulting engagement expected to run 3 months initially, with potential extension through buildout, relocation, launch, and post-move optimization. Schedule will vary based on project phase, but candidates should expect regular weekday availability, on-site walkthroughs, leadership meetings, vendor coordination, and occasional off-hour support around production or move-critical windows.</span></p>",
