Coordinate with production and design teams to align animation assets with overall project milestones and deadlines.

Mentorship & Team Development

Mentor and guide junior animators, providing constructive feedback, animation coaching, and technical support.

Help build a collaborative, creative environment by sharing best practices and encouraging professional growth.

Solid understanding of animation principles: timing, spacing, weight, squash-and-stretch, anticipation, and follow-through.

Ability to interpret storyboards/scripts and translate them into engaging, dynamic animations.

Strong communication, collaboration, and feedback-handling skills.

Detail-oriented with a keen eye for quality, consistency, and polish.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
