  • Talent & Performance Management :

  • Lead by example, and prioritise the work of Associate Technical Supervisors to ensure TD efforts stay aligned with show and pipeline goals;
  • Foster a collaborative, respectful culture across production and technology teams;
  • Partner with Artist Management, Production, Technical Talent, and Learning & Development on casting, mentoring, training needs, performance feedback, and hiring for Associate Technical Supervisors and TDs.
  • Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration :

  • Proactively communicate technology plans, initiatives, and objectives to productions;
  • Collaborate across teams to promote innovation and knowledge sharing;
  • Build confidence and trust through clear, adaptable communication and exercise sound judgement in decision-making, addressing conflicts early.
  • What You’ll Need

  • 5+ years of supervisory experience in large-scale animated features, animated TV series, and / or VFS feature films, with demonstrated proficiency through past project work and / or reel / portfolio
  • Proven experience implementing technical solutions to creative problems, with advanced knowledge of rendering workflows and pipeline development across a full animation pipeline
  • Strong technical skills, including experience with Python or scripting, and excellent knowledge of a broad range of DCCs (e.g. Maya, Houdini, Mari, Nuke) and production tracking software such as FlowPT or similar
  • Effective leadership, and excellent interpersonal communication (verbal and written) and collaboration skills
  • Strong ability to organize, prioritize, and manage work across multiple areas while maintaining excellent attention to detail
  • Demonstrated excellence in problem-solving, balancing quick turnaround needs with long-term quality; degree or related qualification desirable but not essential.
