AI Fluency at Team Liquid

Using AI thoughtfully is an expectation across Team Liquid, including in non‑technical roles. We’re looking for people who explore how these tools can improve their work, test ideas and share what they learn with their teams.

In this role, that could include:

• Using approved AI tools to support production planning, scheduling, resource allocation, budget tracking, and project communications.
• Leveraging AI to streamline pre‑production and post‑production workflows, including initial drafts of briefs, shot lists, capture plans, transcripts, captions, and content versioning.
• Applying AI responsibly across client projects by checking client‑specific AI policies, protecting confidential information, and ensuring creative decisions and final deliverables receive appropriate human review.

You don't need to be an AI expert on day one. We do expect a willingness to learn, experiment and build confidence. Just as important is knowing how to check outputs, protect confidential information and recognize when human judgment is essential.

What You Bring

• 5–8 years of experience in production roles within an agency, media, gaming, or live‑event environment.
• Proven experience leading complex, high‑visibility productions and campaigns.
• Strong understanding of multi‑platform content production, including live, digital, and social content.
• Demonstrated ability to shape and evaluate creative concepts for feasibility and impact.
• Strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, framing, and visual composition across platforms.
• Strong financial understanding and experience managing production budgets, forecasting costs, planning resources, and overseeing production schedules.
• Experience managing and developing team members.
• Familiarity with production software and tools, including project management platforms, Adobe Suite, and asset‑tracking systems.
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to guide teams and make confident decisions.
• High level of accountability for both team output and individual performance.
• Clear and proactive communicator across internal teams, clients, vendors, and external partners.
• Solutions‑oriented, with strong problem‑solving instincts and the ability to anticipate challenges.
• Ability to maintain creative and production rigor under pressure.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to build trust across creative, strategy, production, and client teams.
• Practical experience using AI tools to improve production workflows, with an understanding of their limitations, confidentiality requirements, and the importance of human oversight.
• Ability to work a flexible schedule, including occasional evenings, weekends, and irregular hours, based on client deadlines, live events, and production needs.
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 10% for client projects and production needs.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience producing game capture, gameplay trailers, or post‑production pipelines
• Experience working with gaming and entertainment brands, publishers, or creative agencies.
• Experience managing productions across globally distributed teams.
