WPP Production is looking for a QC Lead
What does a QC Lead do at WPP Production?
The QC Lead is responsible for defining, implementing, and overseeing quality control standards across all content types (video, print, and digital). This role leads the QC function end-to-end—ensuring consistent quality, reducing errors at scale, and embedding a culture of quality across production workflows.
Beyond execution, the QC Lead drives process improvement, standardization, and the integration of tools and automation to enhance efficiency, scalability, and accuracy across high-volume, multi-market operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the QC Function Across Disciplines
Oversee QC across video, print, and digital deliverables, ensuring consistent quality standards across all projects, formats, and markets.
- Define and Standardize QC Processes
Design, implement, and continuously improve QC frameworks, checklists, and workflows to ensure consistency, scalability, and efficiency.
- Team Leadership and Development
Manage, mentor, and develop a team of QC artists/analysts. Set clear expectations, provide feedback, and build capability across disciplines.
- Establish Quality Benchmarks and KPIs
Define and track quality metrics (e.g., error rates, rework, first-time-right delivery, turnaround times) to measure performance and drive improvements.
- Drive Root Cause Analysis and Continuous Improvement
Identify recurring issues and systemic gaps (e.g., briefing, versioning, ingestion, templates) and implement solutions to prevent rework and improve upstream quality.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally
Partner with Production, Creative, Project Management, and Tech teams to align on quality expectations, workflows, and delivery standards.
- Implement Tools and Automation
Evaluate and deploy QC tools, proofing systems, and AI-driven solutions to improve accuracy, speed, and scalability of quality control processes.
- Oversee Complex and High-Risk Deliverables
Act as final approver or escalation point for high-visibility, complex, or high-risk projects across channels.
- Ensure Compliance with Client and Platform Requirements
Guarantee that all deliverables meet brand guidelines, legal requirements, and platform specifications across regions and formats.
- Support End-to-End Quality Assurance Strategy
Extend beyond final QC by influencing upstream processes (briefing, templates, versioning, ingestion) to ensure quality is built into the workflow, not just checked at the end.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in graphic design, Communication, Digital Media, or related field
- Experience working with US-based accounts or clients.
- Excellent command of the English language, both written and verbal.
- +7–10 years of experience in QC/QA, post-production, or content production environments
- Proven experience managing QC teams across multiple disciplines (video, print, digital)
- Strong understanding of end-to-end production workflows across channels
- Deep knowledge of technical specifications for video, print, and digital platforms
- Experience with localization, versioning, and high-volume content production models
- Familiarity with QC tools, proofing platforms, and workflow management systems
- Experience implementing process improvements and quality frameworks
- Knowledge of AI tools and automation in QC is a strong plus
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and relevant QC tools
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
Skills
- Exceptional attention to detail with a strategic mindset
- Strong leadership and team development capabilities
- Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
- Ability to manage complexity and high-volume operations
- Clear and structured communication across functions
- Strong organizational and prioritization skills
- Proactive mindset focused on continuous improvement
