• Identify and clearly communicate project resource requirements in a consistent, accurate and timely manner.
• Work with Resource Managers and Producers in other global studio locations to proactively solve capacity challenges.
• Forecast, request, book, and onboard freelance resources when necessary.
• Negotiate costings with external providers, ensuring their costs align with budgets and expectations.
• Manage all aspects of project documentation, including estimates, POs, NDAs, MSAs, etc.
• Manage multiple third‑party supplier relationships.

• A point of view on the tools required by teams to ensure consistency in best practice for production management—what to use when, and why.
• Ability to manage, coach and lead teams of production artists and direct reports.
• Ability to outline and develop best practices and processes—an active leader, not a follower.
• 4–6 years of relevant experience.
