Coordinate ShotGrid show setup and closure for SEO/HYD shows, applying global templates, workflows and conventions and ensuring clean, consistent data.
Oversee time log, overtime, and weekend-work administration in the region, ensuring accuracy, timely approvals, and compliance with company policies.

Help define and maintain clear standards for how Production operates locally (e.g., communication norms, basic workflows, tool usage), in alignment with global Production leadership.
Develop and deliver Production training sessions for SEO/HYD (for example: ShotGrid usage, show workflows, production skills), and provide practical examples and feedback to help evolve global Production training.
Act as a day-to-day resource and mentor for junior Production staff, helping them build confidence in both the technical and interpersonal aspects of their role.
Provide Production support for special initiatives impacting SEO/HYD (e.g. new tools or automations), acting as the local execution partner for global projects.
Maintain clear, regular communication with the Central Production Manager and Director of VFX, providing visibility into local needs, risks, and opportunities, and helping to align SEO/HYD with global Production goals.
