About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Act as the primary animation workflow authority for the solution pod; build trusted relationships with Animation Supervisors, Heads of Department, Production, and Studio stakeholders.
Run working sessions with show-side and studio leaders to understand current-state pipelines, handoffs, and failure points across the animation lifecycle (e.g., story → layout → animation → CFX → lighting → final).
Explore future workflows and pipelines to elevate the team, then map out a plan to achieve the vision (including multi-show scalability and pipeline compatibility).
Translate animation workflows into clear, testable requirements that engineering and UX teams can execute against.
Ensure prototypes are tested early with real users across key departments; incorporate feedback rapidly and pragmatically.

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years of experience in animation production, including significant time in a senior show-side role (e.g., Animation Supervisor, Head of CG, CG Supervisor, or equivalent).
Have a deep knowledge of modern animation pipelines.
Be familiar with DCC tools and how shows are delivered. This includes handoffs between departments, approvals, editorial timelines, and planning for shots or sequences.
Demonstrated ability to translate complex creative workflows into clear requirements and decision frameworks.
Experience partnering closely with engineers, TDs, or pipeline teams.
Solid communication skills with artists, leads, supervisors, production, and executives.
You should have credibility with creative stakeholders. This means you can constructively challenge ideas. You can also align different departments and make decisions, even when there is time strain.
