Participate in weekly retention and resource meetings, bringing forward challenges, insights, and recommendations to support show and departmental needs. Communicate regularly with Production and Artist teams to gather information, review resourcing opportunities to promote support artist retention. Support Production teams in the HR management of artists, including tracking compliance, responding to queries, monitoring performance, overseeing time-logging accuracy, coordinating annual reviews, identifying next-show opportunities, and managing contract extensions. Manage the crew onboarding/offboarding process, ensuring survey feedback is completed, documented, and shared with relevant stakeholders. Anticipate and mitigate people-related issues where possible, escalating concerns to People Ops in a timely manner. Conduct regular People Ops auditing including contract details, time off balances, and other employment information to ensure HRIS (Rippling) is accurate and up to date. Support the People Ops Lead in employee engagement initiatives and champion the studio’s People & Culture values. What You’ll Bring: Previous experience in HR coordination, resource coordination, production coordination, or a similar role—ideally within animation, VFX, games, or another creative production environment. A solid understanding of resource planning, crew capacity management, and the employee lifecycle within a production setting. Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across Production, HR, and Leadership teams. A high degree of professionalism, discretion, and good judgment when handling sensitive information or crew-related matters. Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate tracking, and meet production timelines. Proficiency with spreadsheets, tracking tools, and production/HR systems (e.g., ShotGrid, Rippling, ATS tools, or internal platforms). A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a focus on supporting a positive crew experience and enabling smooth day-to-day operations.
