Provide inspiration and insight, ensuring that Tendril's high creative standards are maintained throughout the production process. Mentor and grow our Directors and Senior Artists by providing inspiring and empowering feedback that builds confidence and skills both on and off the box, facilitating the transfer of knowledge, skills, and expertise to evolve the next generation of leaders under your guidance. Oversee Directors across multiple productions, acting as a creative sounding board as they lead the daily workflow and integrate client feedback. Pursue endless boundary-pushing opportunities, striving to acquire new skills related to software, animation, and design. Infuse your work with knowledge of current trends in areas including AI, typography, fashion, architecture, and contemporary art. Act as a thought leader for the creative team, leading workshops and skill-building sessions to develop the skills of the artists.
