  • Work closely with studio leadership, production, and technical teams to align on creative goals, production timelines, tools, and budget, balancing artistic ambition with practical execution
  • Prepare and deliver compelling presentations that communicate the film's visual direction to studio executives, stakeholders, and external partners
  • Partner with production leadership, Talent Development, and Talent Acquisition to identify, evaluate, and help secure top artistic talent for key roles across departments (both internally and externally)

  • Exceptional understanding of design fundamentals, including composition, color theory, lighting, shape language, and visual storytelling
  • Proven leadership and team management skills, with the ability to guide, motivate, and develop artists in a collaborative production environment
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize across multiple demands while maintaining a high standard of artistic quality
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a collaborative mindset and the ability to clearly articulate creative direction to diverse teams
  • Ability to balance creative vision with production realities, aligning the needs of the show, department, and studio
