About The Position

Valtech is seeking a visionary, hands-on Head of Studio to lead its Traditional Studio, GenAI Studio, and Marketing Production functions. Reporting to the Global CCO, this senior leadership role combines studio leadership, executive creative and production oversight, post-production expertise, and GenAI innovation. The role sets creative and technical standards, develops hybrid traditional and AI-powered workflows, shapes pricing and commercial models, and works with senior client stakeholders and platform partners to deliver content at scale. The Head of Studio owns performance across the three studio functions and manages the Motion/Editorial Leads, GenAI Lead, and Associate Director of Studio. The role oversees live-action production, motion graphics, content production, post-production, and marketing productions; advances the studio’s GenAI capabilities and future-of-content agenda; and establishes the commercial approach for studio services. It also supports talent planning, pitches, account growth, and partnerships with Google and Microsoft platform teams. This is a full-time position based in the US. Remote and hybrid work options are available, depending on the country. The offered salary range is USD 176,000–220,000 annually, depending on experience and location.

Requirements

Advanced or fluent English.
15+ years of experience in TVC/commercial production spanning creative direction, directing, and post-production.
A demonstrable portfolio across the studio’s key craft categories: creative/concept, directing, post/VFX/motion/color, and GenAI-driven content; the posting describes this as an “M-shaped” talent profile rather than single-discipline depth.
Background in VFX compositing, color, and technical filmmaking.
Track record leading multiple production functions or teams, not only individual delivery.
Proven expertise in GenAI and multi-model pipelines, including fidelity and consistency control.
Experience introducing new workflows or methodologies to production teams, including change management.
Comfort presenting to C-suite and CMO audiences.
Experience qualifying and scoping deals as a subject-matter expert in a sales-support capacity.
Coding or scripting experience applied to production tooling.
Experience with resource and utilization planning and talent-network management across billable and internal work.
Experience developing pricing and commercial models for production services.
