Animation Executive
Feature Film Project | Entry-Level Role
Reports To: Director Location: Hybrid Employment Type: Contract (Potential to Full Time)
About the Role
We are creating a ground breaking feature-length animation and are looking for a curious, self-directed Animation Executive to join our production team. This entry-level role combines hands-on animation work with structured learning and experimentation in emerging AI-assisted workflows. You will support the animation pipeline from pre-production through post-production, collaborate closely with the Director and creative team, and help turn concepts, scripts, and storyboards into polished visual sequences. Fresh graduates with a strong portfolio, initiative, and eagerness to grow are welcome to apply.
Key Responsibilities
- Animation Production: Support the feature-film project across key stages of production, including storyboarding, animatics, asset preparation, animation, compositing, rendering, and final delivery.
- Creative Execution: Translate briefs, scripts, references, and the Director’s feedback into clear and engaging visual sequences.
- AI Experimentation: Test AI-assisted animation techniques, including generative assets, motion synthesis, lip-sync, and other emerging workflows where appropriate.
- Output Refinement: Edit and refine AI-generated material to improve visual consistency, timing, composition, continuity, and production quality.
- Team Collaboration: Work with animators, interns, designers, writers, and editors to incorporate feedback and meet creative and production goals.
- Workflow Documentation: Record prompts, techniques, tests, and learnings so successful approaches can be repeated and improved.
- Production Organisation: Maintain project files and asset libraries, follow naming and versioning conventions, and keep assigned work on schedule.
- Quality and Responsible Use: Check deliverables against creative, technical, copyright, confidentiality, and responsible-AI requirements.
- Continuous Learning: Keep up with developments in animation and generative AI, and apply relevant discoveries to the project.
