Multiproducer

Multiproducer is a term used in media and production industries to describe a person, team, or organization that oversees the creation of multiple productions either simultaneously or across a slate of projects. The phrase is not standardized and its meaning varies by context, but it generally signals a broader scope of responsibility than a single producer.

In music, a multiproducer may coordinate the production of several tracks or albums for one or more artists, managing studios, personnel, and schedules to maintain consistency and timing across a project. In film or television, a multiproducer might be attached to a slate of features or episodes, handling development, budgeting, staffing, and logistics for multiple works at once.

Typical duties include development oversight, securing funding, budgeting and financial management, hiring and coordinating writers, directors, designers, and crew, scheduling, rights clearance, production logistics, and guiding post-production and distribution planning. The role often requires balancing creative aims with practical constraints and risk management.

Because the term lacks a single, universal definition, multiproducer can refer to an individual who manages multiple productions, a production company or department responsible for several projects, or a collaborative arrangement among several producers across different works.

Key skills include project management, budgeting, contract negotiation, stakeholder communication, problem solving, and the ability to oversee creative and operational tasks across diverse teams and timelines.

Related terms include producer, co-producer, executive producer, and production company.
