Position Summary

We are seeking a Production Supervisor to join our pioneering team creating animated shorts and specials using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines. This Production Supervisor will work with the Producer and other production staff to manage a fast-paced, experimental animation production process, leveraging both generative AI and traditional tools to create feature-quality content in a creator-led environment. Through production planning, tracking, and supervision, the Production Supervisor is responsible for keeping the project within budget and on schedule from pre-production through post-production, while supporting the development of new workflows and adapting to rapidly evolving technology. Our ideal candidate schedules, tracks, and communicates with efficiency and ease. This role will support teams of artists through production deliverables.

Serve as a primary source of information for artists; have regular check-ins with artists (virtually and in-person), and build strong, trusting relationships with the crew
Ensure artists understand how to use new workflows within the broader pipeline, escalating training or tooling needs to Production and Tech teams as appropriate
Oversee reviews with show leadership; set meeting expectations and agenda; ensure reviews and approvals happen within the scheduled time
Supervise deliveries of review materials to key stakeholders for notes, ensuring that outputs, materials, and reference are organized and clearly labeled

Generate daily and/or weekly status reports for the Production Manager and Producer, including any pipeline or tooling blockers
Analyze reports to ensure the crew is on schedule, planned productivity is being achieved, overtime needs are forecasted, and vulnerabilities in the workflow are identified early
Supervise shot and sequence breakdowns
Work with Production Manager and technical team members to configure and maintain ShotGrid for your show; troubleshoot and solve GenAI/traditional hybrid workflow challenges, and refine and improve processes
Collaborate with technology and pipeline teams to gather feedback on and implement tools and workflows
Supervise and train Production Coordinators and Production Assistants when relevant
Collaborate with the Producer to cast assignments and issue deadlines
Supervise the organization and maintenance of systems for monitoring production progress, which includes tracking actual vs scheduled dates for all aspects of shows
Help document crew learnings and best practices so INK workflows can be improved on future shows

Strong attention to detail is critical, especially when tracking complex dependencies and iterations across GenAI and traditional pipelines
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly translate creative and technical feedback into actionable tasks
Ability to lead with a positive attitude and encourage collaboration across artists, production, and technology teams
Comfort level working in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment with the ability to manage time, balance priorities, and adapt to rapid changes in tools and workflow
