Head of Production

DIGIC Pictures has been creating animated films for nearly 20 years. Over this time, we’ve collected numerous prestigious awards and worked on iconic brands such as Call of Duty and Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots.

Now, DIGIC is bringing a stylized fantasy world to life for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering series on Netflix.

DIGIC is looking for a seasoned Head of Production to lead our Production Management department and own our division-wide production methodologies.

About DIGIC

• We believe a formal, structured production environment is what allows creative chaos to thrive.
• While producers fully own project delivery, client relationships, and project budgets, this role owns the production system, methodologies, standards, and forecast integrity.
• We look beyond animation, borrowing best practices from PMI, Agile, Lean, and ISO to design world-class production systems.
• We are data-driven and rely on connected systems and real-time information

In the role you will

• Own the production engine, define and refine division-wide standards for planning, scheduling, forecasting, risk escalation, and reporting.
• Implement modern tools, workflows, and production methods to continuously improve studio efficiency, drive the change
• Keep schedules, staffing plans, and cost projections realistic, current, and backed by solid data.
• Audit production health, act as an objective advisor—challenging weak plans, optimistic forecasts, or practices that deviate from standards.
• Oversee cross-project resource planning to identify capacity constraints and manage dependencies across productions.
• Lead the PM department, directly hire, mentor, evaluate, and develop Production Managers, Coordinators, and PAs .
• Work closely with our Studio Head of Production to research, adapt, and deploy global best practices.
• Also work closely alongside Producers as an operational partner, shaping and influencing project workflows through methods and standards

Things you will find here

• A custom-built proprietary production management platform that you can directly influence.
• Fast-paced, top-tier animation projects where your systems directly impact delivery success.
• Full ownership of long-term organizational capability and system health, completely freed from day-to-day client firefighting and direct project delivery.

What you bring

• 10+ years in animation, cgi or vfx production, including at least 5 years leading production teams.
• Advanced expertise in Excel/Sheets, dashboard creation, and building quantitative forecasting models.
• Hands-on knowledge of project and quality management frameworks (PMI, Agile, Lean, ISO) is a big plus
• The ability to guide and align production through trusted standards, clear data, and strong relationships
• An unsettling desire for continuous improvement, process optimization, and growing talent.

What to expect from us

• Clear operational authority over production methodologies and reporting frameworks.
• Close alignment and direct collaboration with the Studio Head of Production.
• A culture that values structured process design as much as creative output.

We offer

• Remote work option (must align closely with the Budapest timezone / CET).
• Regular in-person checkins.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
