Job Description

About the Role

We’re an animation studio built on creativity, collaboration, and a deep love for storytelling—and we’re looking for a People Operations & Talent Coordinator who shares that energy. In this role, you’ll support the full employee and lifecycle, from recruiting and onboarding to employee experience and offboarding.

You’ll play a key role in keeping our day-to-day people operations running smoothly while supporting the recruitment and coordination of our amazing in-house and remote talent. Whether helping onboard a producer or scheduling interviews for a new production coordinator, you’ll help build an environment where our artists and teams can do their best work.

Key Responsibilities

People Ops Support

• Coordinate onboarding and offboarding for both full-time staff and project-based hires (artists, production crew, etc.).
• Maintain accurate employee and contractor records in our HR systems.
• Support benefits administration, time-off tracking, and employee document management.
• Assist with internal communications, company events, and culture-building initiatives.

Talent Coordination

• Partner with recruiting leads to support candidate sourcing, interview scheduling, and job postings.
• Track and maintain our talent database—keeping tabs on availability, past collaborators, and incoming inquiries.
• Assist with contracts, NDAs, onboarding paperwork, and compliance documentation.
• Help ensure a welcoming, organized, and creative-forward hiring experience.

Production Support

• Collaborate with production management to forecast upcoming talent needs by discipline (e.g., animators, layout, compositors).
• Help organize talent check-ins and stay in touch with freelance artists during and between projects.
• Maintain clarity on studio workflows and timelines so People Ops can best support team needs.

Culture & Engagement

• Help coordinate team events, wrap celebrations, wellness initiatives, and studio announcements.
• Support HR programs and contribute ideas to make the studio inclusive and welcoming for all.
• Be a friendly, resourceful point of contact for employee questions and needs.

What We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in HR, recruiting, or production coordination—experience in animation or a creative studio is a big plus.
• Exceptional organization skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Great people skills: empathetic, warm, and genuinely excited to support artists and teams.
• Proficient in Google Workspace; experience with HRIS/ATS platforms (like BambooHR, Greenhouse, Airtable, etc.) is a plus.
• Comfortable navigating a mix of full-time, freelance, and remote/hybrid workflows.

Nice to Haves

• Experience working with freelance creatives or production crews.
• Interest or background in film, media, or entertainment.
• Background in recruiting, production management, or studio operations.

Why Join Us

We’re not just making animation—we’re building a place where artists and creative thinkers feel supported, seen, and inspired. You’ll be part of a close-knit People & Culture team that values kindness, clarity, and a great spreadsheet as much as a great short film.
