Job Description
A Senior VFX Producer is responsible for the day to day running of The Mill’s VFX productions. The Senior VFX Producer will have their own clients, but also sometimes be assigned projects by one of the Executive VFX Producers. Their task will be to see these projects through from award to delivery. During the life of the project the Senior VFX Producer will need to manage the smooth running of all aspects of the job and ensure that it is profitable, delivered on time and that the clients are happy. The Senior VFX Producer will work with both internal staff and external vendors and will already have a good understanding of both.
The Senior VFX Producer will have direct contact with the clients and will be responsible for scheduling in reviews and feedback sessions, creating client agendas and running meetings without Executive VFX Producers being present. The Senior VFX Producer will constantly need to be reviewing feedback/comments with their project lead and deciding how to tailor their existing schedule to accommodate the changes. Where required overages and schedule extensions will need to be discussed and negotiated with the client and should not necessarily require the help of an Executive VFX Producer. The Senior VFX Producer should have the confidence to be able to have these difficult conversations themselves.
It is the Senior VFX Producer's job to flag and tackle any issues that may derail a project from either its creative or financial goals, and they should know when to alert the relevant parties (Executive VFX Producer / HoP) if they see a roadblock ahead. The Executive VFX Producer on each production will put in regular catch-up sessions each week with the Senior VFX Producer, during which they should be provided with a clear financial and creative status report for the project.
The Senior VFX Producer will have a responsibility to bring in their own work and be required to regularly be out and about with clients trying to bring in more sales.
