Generative Ai Artist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Lionsgate is seeking a creative-technology leader to define and advance the practical use of AI across content creation, VFX, production, and post-production. This hands-on role will turn emerging multimodal capabilities into artist-centered tools, production-ready workflows, and responsible experimentation that strengthen the studio's creative and operational capabilities.

The Director will sit at the intersection of creative practice, production technology, and applied AI. They will partner closely with filmmakers, artists, production and post teams, technology leaders, and external innovators to identify valuable use cases, guide pilots through real-world validation, and establish the standards, partnerships, and change-management approach required for adoption. The role will manage the Associate Manager, AI Strategy & Creative Technology and serve as an essential counterpart to VP AI Solutions, ensuring creative-production needs inform the company's broader AI product roadmap.

• Set the creative AI and production-technology roadmap across creative development, VFX, virtual production, editorial, post-production, marketing asset creation, and adjacent workflows.
• Identify, prioritize, and lead AI pilots that address real creative and production needs, balancing artistic quality, workflow fit, business value, rights considerations, and operational readiness.
• Design and validate artist-facing tools and multimodal workflows using image, video, audio, and language models, with a focus on improving ideation, visualization, previs, asset development, editorial, and post-production processes.
• Partner directly with artists, filmmakers, VFX supervisors, production executives, editors, post-production teams, and creative vendors to understand pain points, test solutions in context, and drive practical adoption.
• Establish scalable pipeline patterns for AI-assisted creative work, including workflow documentation, quality controls, versioning, review and approval practices, metadata, provenance, and handoffs between creative and technical teams.
• Guide the transition from promising experiment to production-ready workflow, coordinating with Technology, Security, Legal, Business Affairs, Data, and external partners to address integration, rights, security, and support requirements.
• Work in close partnership with the Internal AI Product Builder to define shared platform, automation, data, and integration needs while maintaining clear ownership of creative-production tooling and pipeline priorities.
• Lead and develop the Associate Manager, AI Strategy & Creative Technology; set priorities, create growth opportunities, and leverage their research, tool-evaluation, and enablement work to support the team's roadmap.
• Maintain an active view of the creative AI ecosystem, evaluating startups, vendors, artists, researchers, and emerging production practices; cultivate strategic relationships that expand Lionsgate's capabilities.
• Represent the AI office in senior creative and production forums, communicating technical possibilities, limitations, risks, and recommended decisions in language that supports confident action.

• 8+ years of experience in film, television, VFX, animation, post-production, virtual production, creative technology, or a closely related media-production field.
• Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, or leading technology-enabled workflows for artists, production teams, VFX, editorial, or post-production teams.
• Deep practical fluency with generative AI and multimodal tools, including image, video, audio, and language models, and an ability to assess their creative quality, technical limitations, and production implications.
• Working knowledge of production and post-production pipelines, including how assets, editorial, review, approvals, vendors, and delivery requirements interact across a production lifecycle.
• A track record of moving emerging technology from experimentation into durable, adopted workflows while maintaining creative trust and respect for craft.
• Strong people leadership, stakeholder-management, and communication skills; able to guide cross-functional work and explain complex technology clearly to both creative and executive audiences.

• Hands-on experience with node-based or visual AI workflows, creative coding, custom tool development, APIs, cloud compute, or model-evaluation pipelines.
• Experience with VFX, animation, virtual production, game-engine, DCC, or production-management ecosystems.
• Experience working with generative-AI vendors, startups, artist collectives, research organizations, or production partners.
• Familiarity with intellectual-property, performer, rights, privacy, security, and labor considerations relevant to AI-enabled media workflows.
• Experience building new capabilities within a large studio, production company, or other complex creative organization.

• Creative and production teams have trusted, well-supported AI workflows that improve quality, speed, or creative possibility without disrupting essential craft and approval processes.
• High-value pilots are evaluated with real users and have a clear path to adoption, production support, or a well-informed decision not to proceed.
• Artists and production stakeholders have a clear partner who can translate between creative intent, technical possibility, and practical workflow design.
• The creative AI roadmap and the Internal AI Product Builder's roadmap reinforce one another, reducing duplicated effort and accelerating useful shared capabilities.
