About the Role
We're looking for an organised, proactive, and technically knowledgeable Technical Project Coordinator to bridge the gap between Product Managers, Producers, and our Technical Art, Digital Asset, and Animation teams.
You'll work closely with discipline leads and senior artists to translate high-level requirements into clear, actionable Jira tasks, coordinate resources, track progress and ensure assets move efficiently through production, review and delivery.
You'll also be a central point of communication, maintaining visibility across projects, identifying blockers and ensuring the right people have the information they need without creating unnecessary administration for artists and developers.
You don't need to be a Technical Artist or 3D Artist, but you should understand how digital assets are created and move through production pipelines, including modelling, texturing, rigging, animation and integration into Unity or Unreal Engine.
What You'll Be Doing
Project & Task Coordination
- Work with Product Managers, Producers and discipline leads to understand requirements and translate them into detailed Jira tasks and subtasks.
- Ensure tasks include clear briefs, technical specifications, references, acceptance criteria, dependencies and ownership.
- Coordinate task allocation with leads, considering individual skills, availability and project priorities.
- Track production schedules, asset progress and delivery estimates, identifying blockers and escalating risks early.
- Manage dependencies and handovers between Digital Assets, Technical Art, Animation and Development teams.
- Coordinate asset reviews, technical QA, and sign-off before returning work to Product or Production.
Jira & Workflow Management
- Maintain accurate Jira boards, backlogs, task statuses and production documentation.
- Support consistent Jira practices across teams, including ticket structures, naming conventions, estimates and progress tracking.
