Remote · Full-time
We’re looking for a Creative Producer who can lead animated projects from early concept through final delivery. You will translate creative goals into clear plans, build momentum across artists and stakeholders, and make sure the work ships on time, on budget, and at a high creative bar. You’ll partner closely with Creative Direction, Design, and Animation to keep production moving smoothly while protecting the vision.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end production for animation projects.
- Partner with creative leads to shape briefs, define the creative approach, and align on success criteria.
- Build production plans: scope, schedules, staffing, milestones, and review cycles.
- Run day-to-day production: standups, check-ins, internal reviews, client presentations, and feedback consolidation.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams (directors, designers, animators, editors, sound, and freelancers) to ensure consistent quality and velocity.
- Manage budgets, resourcing, vendor relationships, and contracts as needed.
- Create clear documentation and systems for handoff, file organization, and delivery specs.
- Anticipate risks (scope creep, timeline slips, technical constraints) and resolve issues early with practical solutions.
- Maintain a high bar for craft by ensuring strong reviews, clear notes, and thoughtful iteration.
Requirements
- Strong understanding of animation pipelines and typical workflows (2D, 3D, compositing, edit, sound).
- Proven ability to scope projects, build schedules, and manage multiple productions simultaneously.
- Excellent communication skills, including client onboarding, client-facing presentation and expectation-setting.
- High taste level and the ability to give clear, actionable feedback that improves creative output.
- Strong organizational habits: documentation, version control, delivery checklists, and calm under pressure.
