• Task & Milestone Oversight: Lead the daily maintenance of the EXDEV tracking tools. Triage tickets, ensure data integrity, and proactively follow up on delayed tasks to maintain project momentum.
• Communication & Sync Leadership: Act as the primary coordinator between external vendors and internal Hangar 13 discipline leads (Art, Animation, Design, Engineering). Lead status meetings and ensure feedback loops are closed within agreed windows.
• Reporting & Governance: Prepare regular progress reports for stakeholders, highlighting milestone completion percentages and potential risks. Document all external syncs to ensure action items are tracked to resolution.
• Continuous Improvement: Organize and lead vendor retrospectives after major milestones to capture lessons learned and strengthen long-term partnerships.

Essential Skills, Attributes and Experience

• Project Management Mastery: Familiarity with systems like JIRA and Confluence, ability to build and maintain tracking dashboards.
• Attention to Detail: Critical due to financial impact such as managing vendor budgets, verifying invoices, and administrative side of Statements of Work (SOW).

• Communication Excellence: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a "how can I help" attitude and the ability to mediate between internal leads and external partners.
• Strategic Thinking: Demonstrated ability to create, iterate, and track processes that balance time, cost, and quality.

Highly Desirable 

• Logistical Expertise: Extensive experience managing technical access to enterprise systems such as (Perforce, Shotgrid/Flow) and equipment logistics for large-scale external teams.
• Technical Familiarity: Basic knowledge of video game engines and DCC software (3ds Max, Maya, Blender) to understand the technical requirements of the assets being outsourced.
