About Us
We’re a design-driven animation & VFX studio crafting unforgettable visuals for brands, entertainment, and agencies worldwide. Our work spans commercials, original IP, music videos, branded content, and immersive experiences. We blend storytelling, craft, and innovation — and we’re growing.

That’s where you come in.


The Role
As Executive Producer (New Business), you’ll be the force behind our growth — identifying opportunities, nurturing relationships, and converting leads into long-term creative partnerships. You’ll bridge strategy and sales with deep creative empathy, working closely with our leadership, creative directors, and production teams.

• Lead new business efforts across commercial, brand, and entertainment sectors
• Identify, target, and develop strategic relationships with agencies, brands, and platforms
• Respond to inbound opportunities and proactively generate outbound leads
• Collaborate with creative and production teams on pitch strategy and proposal development
• Represent the studio at industry events, festivals, and networking functions
• Help shape how we position our work and capabilities in the market
• Maintain and expand CRM pipelines and track business development KPIs
• Lead high-level negotiations in partnership with EPs and executive leadership

What You Bring
• 6+ years in animation, VFX, production, or creative agency environments
• Proven experience in new business, sales, or EP roles (client-facing a must)
• Deep understanding of the creative production lifecycle — from concept to delivery
• Strong network within advertising, branded content, entertainment, or tech
• Comfortable presenting to clients, crafting pitches, and closing deals
• Naturally collaborative, entrepreneurial, and confident in leadership
• Bonus: Experience with bidding, budgeting, and production workflows

What We Offer
• Competitive salary + commission/bonus potential
• Flexible hybrid schedule
• Creative, inclusive, and passionate team culture
• Opportunity to shape the studio’s growth trajectory
• Access to top-tier creative talent and tools
• Health benefits, PTO, and professional development support
