Focusing on processes and efficiencies, I keep across everything from the sales process to hiring to production, aftercare and financial forecasting and reporting. Managing artists and working with team leads, I pride myself on the relationship I have with the artists and everyone in the studio.A key, self-initiated project of mine has been creating and implementing performance reviews, goal-setting and monthly catch up with staff. I've also helped review and refine contracts, work policies, career progression and how all HR information is stored. Finally, I spearheaded Buildmedia's applications and acceptance to Diversity Works New Zealand the United Nations Global Compact, where we are one of only nine New Zealand companies.Additionally, I help project manage all offerings, including stills, 3d animation, interactive and experiential. Working with the BDM before project signing and then working with the client through to delivery, I work with team leads to set the priorities and tasks for artists and hold weekly WIPs for all teams and company directors to keep projects and the studio on track.
