As VFX Supervisor, you own the creative and technical delivery of visual effects from concept to completion across a slate of live-action features and series.

• Pipeline & technical direction: You ensure all work follows our established pipeline, in close collaboration with the Head of VFX. You stay current with VFX tools and techniques, propose technical solutions, and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
• Team & mentoring: You lead and develop your team, fostering an open, collaborative environment where people feel valued and supported, and you create opportunities for them to grow.
• New business (occasional): You support bidding and methodology development on new projects and collaborate with concept teams to help win future work.
