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.

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.

Why Join Us
