- Demonstrated client-facing experience: comfortable leading calls, managing expectations, and handling escalations.
- Proven track record managing end-to-end animated series, branded content, or campaigns - shipping multi-stakeholder projects on time and on budget.
- Strategic thinking with the ability to plan, develop, and implement long-term content strategies.
- Strong knowledge of production pipelines (script → animatic → design → animation → delivery)
- Expertise in scoping, scheduling, and change-order management. Budgeting skills and experience in resource allocation aligned with business objectives.
- Excellent planning and organizational skills, with the ability to run multiple projects in parallel.
