When there is only one EP, they are the ‘holder of the vision' for the studio's creativity. They (whether there is one or more) may represent key franchise/licenses of the company (or studio) in corporate and strategy meetings. Organizing reports and updates from the various producers and their projects, and working with other department leads (Finance, QA, Marketing, PR and HR). They may acquire licenses and work business negotiations as well (depending upon the presence of a Director of Development).

Producer who does all the hands-on work, getting his/her hands dirty, working most closely with the project.

Often the same as Executive Producer, however, they are “above” the Executive Producer (in rank) and often have more technical and business acumen than the EP's. When a Publishing company has Dir. & EP's the Dir is often considered the “studio's development head” and is therefore responsible for the life and breadth of all developmental aspects of the studio. From signing NDA's to being final authority on hiring new employees, contractual negotiations, first party relations and the like.

Very similar to Producer, but this position takes a more active role in the budgeting, scheduling and deliverables of one or more projects.
