- Analyze product performance and user feedback to inform future development and ensure technical solutions meet key metrics and business objectives.
- Lead technical advocacy efforts to drive internal adoption of new tools and workflows, developing strategic rollout plans aligned with user needs and tracking success through defined KPIs such as adoption rates, tool utilization, and workflow efficiency gains.
- Stay ahead of industry trends such as cloud-based workflows, emerging production technologies, and advancements in 3D asset management, integrating these insights into the product strategy.
Requirements:
- Bachelors Degree plus 7+ years of experience in product management, software development, and filmmaking, with a focus on technologies supporting film production.
