VFX Executive, International Originals VFX

Amazon MGM Studios is seeking a VFX Executive, specialising in Generative AI & VFX Workflows to drive the practical adoption, integration and operationalisation of generative AI tools and emerging technology workflows across the International Originals slate. This role sits at the intersection of creative excellence and technological innovation, acting as the connective tissue between AI strategy and production-floor execution.

Design and document standardised GenAI workflows, SOPs, scalable adoption frameworks and technical reference documents providing repeatable, reusable methodologies across productions and territories
Build and maintain a living catalogue of approved AI tools, capabilities and use-case guidance for VFX Supervisors, Producers and vendor partners
Partner with Production Companies, VFX teams and VFX Vendors across all IO territories to identify workflow pain points where AI-augmented solutions deliver value
Assess VFX vendor AI capabilities, build relationships and validate vendor GenAI readiness for IO productions
Collaborate with Tech Ops, Studios Technology and central Studios teams to ensure alignment between production needs and enterprise-wide technology initiatives
Design and deliver training programmes and workshops to upskill internal teams and production partners, tailoring approaches to different regional readiness levels.
Organise and deliver flagship vendor knowledge-sharing events and contribute to cross-studio networking initiatives
Partner with Legal, Content Security, and internal teams to ensure AI tool usage complies with rights, licensing, IP, and data governance requirements
