About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Animation Supervisor to join our team at DNEG.

Key Responsibilities
- Review the technical requirements of current and future shows in relation to existing tools and workflows to support Department Supervisors in determining what new tool/workflow developments or improvements may be required.
- Work closely with Department Supervisors and Heads of Department to ensure tasks, methodology, and priorities are in line with the department's roadmap and future projects.
- Collaborate globally with Animation Heads of Department and Technical Supervisors in other sites to ensure tools and workflows are used consistently throughout the company.
- Communicate with colleagues within other departments to understand the needs of downstream departments and communicate requirements to upstream departments.
- Deliver tools and workflows on schedule by efficiently managing their own tasks, development teams, and cross-department communication.
- Deliver tools and workflows that ensure the output of the department is completed to the required quality.
- Act as product owner for any tool/workflow projects that require Production Technology resources.
- Act as a bridge between artists and the Production Technology department while contributing to relevant working and steering committees to drive our technology roadmap forward.
- Support and train team members using their tools and workflows, collaborating with the Training Team and Pipe TDs and Developers wherever necessary.
- Support any transition of maintenance and support of tools from the department to the Production Technology team, ensuring any code written is documented and easy to maintain.
Requirements
- Significant production experience of Maya & Linux within the Film Industry (+5 years)
- Good production experience of Jira & Shotgun (+3 years)
- Experience managing/mentoring small teams of either animators or pipe TDs (+2 years)
- Experience communicating between animators/production (including those with little technical knowledge) and very technical Production-Technology teams
- Ability to problem solve and predict potential problems
- Have an excellent understanding of how animation department workflows fit in the wider production pipeline
- How/why animation tools and animation-centric pipeline aid animation workflow and schedules
- First-hand experience in an artist role that provides an in-depth understanding of the day-to-day tasks, pressures, and priorities of artists.
- Sufficient knowledge of developing tools that fit within larger systems
- Able to proactively use knowledge and experience to identify, communicate, and solve problems before they impact artists in the department.
- Able to organise and manage multiple priorities and handle change.
- Be comfortable with global collaboration, using excellent communication skills
