Division Head of Production

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

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

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
• A genuine passion for continuous improvement, optimising processes, and developing talent.

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 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.

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
