Ride Shotgun is looking for an experienced CGI Senior Producer with a strong focus on CGI stills imagery to lead the delivery of high-quality visual content for major brands.

Working with multiple departments end to end, you will need to have a solid understanding of pipelines across modelling, shader development, batch cut outs and lifestyle 3D production.

• Lead and manage CGI content projects from end-to-end, from receiving the brief, scoping, quoting, planning, and scheduling to sign-off and delivery.
• Produce detailed timelines with clear milestones, dependencies, and approval stages.
• Plan resource with our resource team to ensure time is allocated to meet deadlines
• Monitor risks and issues throughout production, resolving or escalating quickly.
• Build and manage project budgets, negotiating with vendors and partners where needed.
• Act as a client contact, ensuring communication is clear and expectations are aligned.

• Proven experience managing CGI production from briefing through to delivery.
• Strong understanding of CGI, animation, VFX, or similar production pipelines.

• A highly innovative, solutions-first mindset with strong problem-solving ability.

• Excellent communication, organisation, and attention to detail.
• Familiarity with industry-standard tools and pipelines.

This role will be based in either our Leeds or Manchester office, 9am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday. The role is open to hybrid working.
