Our studio is currently working on the seventh season of “The Amazing World of Gumball”. In addition, we have just started an animated TV series and a feature film. We have two open positions in our production department: we need a production manager and a colleague who can assist our MD.

Core Requirements (for both positions) - Knowledge and Skills

• High level of diligence and accuracy handling key data and information. Familiarity with spreadsheets, databases (notion), production management software (shotgrid) and basic accounting principles e.g. invoices and controlling. Knowledge of payroll management and employment agreements is a bonus.
• Strong interpersonal skills. We need someone who is highly collaborative and enjoys working closely with others in a flat hierarchy. The applicant will need to balance the demands of the schedule against the need for consistency in quality. Experience in meeting deadlines on a fast-paced TV show is a plus. We especially value having colleagues in production who strive to help others reach their goals, while keeping sight of their own responsibilities.
• Strong communication skills. The candidate can convey information to stakeholders at all levels in a way which is clear, concise and complete. The successful candidate will be min. CEF B2 level in English.
• Goal setting abilities are crucial, from setting up schedules through to execution and delivery. Alongside this, we need someone who can adapt on the fly as situations evolve.

Additional Skills required for the Position of the Assistant to our MD

Our studio draws on a combination of new talent and many years of experience. In this spirit, the applicant should be eager to learn, and to offer support to the MD. We work best with individuals who are keen to develop skills in the areas outlined below:

• We are working with an international team and German partners. Knowledge of German is beneficial for this position.
• The assistant to the MD should strive to understand why and how film (and particularly animation) is an important medium of communication, conveying ideas and meaning to an audience through storytelling, entertainment and education.
• The applicant has an understanding of social learning and realistic expectations of what learning and development looks like among team members.
• The ability to see the bigger picture from multiple perspectives is essential. The candidate is able to navigate and balance situations under pressure from opposing forces.

Schedule

Both the animated TV series and feature film have already started and are in preproduction. If you are interested in one of those positions please send your application as soon as possible.
