What you'll be doing
Project Oversight & Delivery
Oversee every VFX project end-to-end, from brief to final QC, ensuring timelines, budgets, and standards stay on track.
Partner with Producers and Directors early to assess feasibility, scope effort, and translate creative ideas into accurate time and resource estimates.
Lead and organise dailies; keep the feedback loop clear, actionable, and documented.
QC all work at key milestones; ensure deliverables meet technical specs, creative intent, and platform requirements.
Act as the on-set VFX Supervisor where possible, advising on shot setups, data capture, and technical considerations to ensure footage aligns seamlessly with post-production workflows and pipeline requirements.

Pipeline, Team & Workflow
Implement and refine project management tools (shot trackers, review boards, version control, naming conventions) to create transparency and accountability.
Work with Producers and Tech Leads to continually improve rendering, storage, and backup systems.
Standardise VFX templates and delivery presets to reduce setup time and rework.

Risk, Quality & Compliance
Proactively identify bottlenecks and potential issues before they escalate, proposing solutions not problems.
Maintain the VFX QA/QC process; track error types and drive continuous improvement to keep quality high and rework low.

Resourcing & Vendor Management
Build, maintain, and QC a trusted roster of freelance artists; onboard them smoothly and ensure consistency with internal standards.
Work closely with Producers to forecast workloads and align resourcing against project pipelines.
Know your internal and external artists' strengths; pair them with projects that best suit their technical abilities and creative sensibilities.
Highlight hiring needs with clear business cases and collaborate on recruitment and onboarding of new VFX talent.
Negotiate effectively with vendors and freelancers to balance quality, speed, and cost.

Communication & Reporting
Keep Producers and the Head of Production informed on project status, risks, and capacity, always with recommendations ready.
Maintain living documentation for all VFX projects: health trackers, process updates, postmortems, and pipeline improvements.
Contribute to pitches and creative development; provide feasibility insights and ballpark VFX time estimates to support early planning.
