- Understand the needs of directors, animators, and VFX teams to shape product features that enhance creative workflows and improve efficiency in the filmmaking process.
- Lead the product development process from concept through delivery and beyond, managing the full product lifecycle with continuous iteration to improve performance, scalability, and user experience.
- Partner with cross-functional teams—including project management, design, engineering, technical directors, filmmakers, and production teams—to create user-centric solutions that address evolving project requirements.
- 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.
- Experience with Platform as a Service (PaaS), cloud computing, virtual production technologies, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), large language models (LLMs), and other advanced software tools.
- Proven success in developing and delivering scalable products and platforms that drive innovation in the entertainment and digital media industry.
- Deep knowledge of real-time content creation tools such as Unreal Engine and Unity, along with experience in 3D asset workflows and product lifecycle management.
