Director of Production

Job description

Already successful? Good. This role isn’t for everyone.

At HSP Direct , we don't hire people to maintain the status quo—we hire people to raise the standard.

Our mission is clear: elect conservative leaders and advance causes that defend freedom. We execute that mission by building best-in-class fundraising programs for political and nonprofit organizations nationwide.

This is not a role for someone looking to manage a process.

This is a role for someone ready to build, improve, and lead at a higher level.

We’re looking for a Senior Director of Production—someone who can lead people, optimize systems, solve complex problems, and drive performance across one of the most critical functions in our business.

If you’re looking for a comfortable role, this probably isn’t for you.

If you’re looking for ownership and impact, keep reading.

The Opportunity

Improve systems that matter: Evaluate and optimize workflows, vendor relationships, quality-control processes, and operational systems to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve results.

Drive testing and innovation: Own the pursuit of what’s next. Identify opportunities to test new mail formats, AI integrations, workflow improvements, and vendor partnerships that enhance performance, create competitive advantages, and drive stronger fundraising outcomes.

Operate alongside top-tier talent: Collaborate with leaders across account management, creative, audience-building, data, and accounting to execute programs that directly impact fundraising performance.

Solve complex challenges across the agency: No two days are the same. You’ll be expected to think critically, make decisions, remove obstacles, and help the organization scale.
