Job Description

OUR STORY


For more than 35 years, Bardel Entertainment has been growing and evolving, yet at our core, we remain grounded in the creative roots of the craft of animation. Our pursuit of fresh ideas, techniques, and technologies is driven by the belief that together, through creativity and collaboration, we can accomplish anything! If you want to be part of an environment that empowers you to experiment, learn, and contribute to exciting projects, come and join us.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Delivery Partner to act as the final gatekeeper for our feature animation project's transition to stereoscopic conversion. This is a high-stakes, "final push" contract role (mid-June through October) where you will be the bridge between our internal stereoscopic prep team and our external conversion vendors.

Your Outcome

You will own the integrity of the delivery pipeline. Your success is measured by the 100% accurate, on-time delivery of final files to our vendors, ensuring our small, dedicated team stays on schedule during the final conversion window.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Pipeline Accountability: Managing the turnover, validation, and delivery of packages for stereoscopic vendors.
  • Data Integrity: Acting as the primary owner for shot status, tracking, and dependencies in our tracking systems.
  • Proactive Problem Solving: Troubleshooting production and technical blockers between our stereoscopic team and production leadership to keep the schedule tight.
  • Communication: Serving as the key liaison to internal production leadership and external partners, flagging risks before they impact the timeline.

Requirements

  • Delivery Resilience: Experience in feature animation or VFX delivery, vendor coordination, or post-production workflows.
  • Data Proficiency: Proven ability to manage complex shot-based data and tracking software (ShotGrid/Flow) in high-pressure environments and deadlines.
  • Communication Aptitude: Experience acting as a key liaison across departments; you thrive on keeping stakeholders informed and troubleshooting bottlenecks.
  • Production Context: An understanding of CG pipelines and the ability to adapt to fast-evolving production needs.

Benefits

Pay Range: CAD $1,400 - $1,500 per week

Location: Vancouver

Your final salary offer will consider various key factors, including your education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographical location, as well as the needs and requirements of the business.

At Bardel, we recognize that flexibility is key to doing great work. Our hybrid work environment is a valued perk designed to support individual accountability and empower our teams to work where they’re most productive. We offer the choice to work remotely, balanced with intentional in-person time for collaboration, creativity, and team building.
