Fox•Los Angeles, CA

13d•Onsite

About The Position

FoxNXT is FOX Entertainment’s next-generation technology studio, built to expand what our creative teams can achieve and put more of every production dollar on screen. Our work spans four pillars: R&D, Production, Talent, and Education. We turn emerging technology into practical tools and workflows across scripted, unscripted, animation, and marketing. We test in real productions, learn what works, and make those lessons useful across the business. We also develop talent and help our creative and production teams build the skills to use these tools confidently. Our approach starts with people and craft. We work with creative partners to solve real production problems, protect creative intent, and use AI responsibly, with respect for rights, the creative community, and the resources production consumes. The Project Manager turns priorities into coordinated action. You will manage intake, establish clear plans and ownership, track delivery, and make sure the right decisions happen at the right time. Working across creative, production, technical, and business teams, you will keep an accurate picture of what is moving, what is blocked, and what needs attention. We are looking for someone who is organized, curious, direct, and comfortable working through ambiguity. You ask good questions, follow through, and raise problems early with a recommendation. You know when to resolve an issue yourself and when to bring others in. You build enough structure to help talented people do their best work as the business grows. Regular, on-site attendance at the workplace for a minimum of four (4) days per week is an essential function of the position. The selected candidate must be able to reliably meet this requirement.
