Full Job Description

Netflix Animation Studios is on a mission to entertain the world with bold, immersive animated films that are timeless and impactful. We are paving the way for the future of animation by building a community of amazing artists and talent across three vibrant locations globally. Come join us!

Job Summary:

We are seeking a Character Modeling Supervisor to support our upcoming feature film. The Character Modeling Supervisor works inside of NAS to lead the character modeling team on a specific film or series, focusing on the creation of high‑quality character assets that faithfully translate the show’s designs into 3D. This role helps ensure that all character models are both artistically compelling and technically ready for Rigging, Surfacing, CFX, and Animation, working within the direction and standards set by the Head of Characters and show leadership.

What You’ll Do

Supervise the creation of character models (hero, secondary, background) that align with the Director’s and Art Director’s vision and the show’s visual style
Work closely with the Art Director (Characters), Character Designers, and Head of Characters to interpret design intent and maintain consistency of proportion, style, and appeal
Lead character modeling reviews and provide clear, specific, and constructive feedback on form, anatomy, silhouette, topology, and overall quality
Ensure character models meet technical requirements and pipeline standards so they integrate smoothly with Rigging, Surfacing, CFX, and Animation
Collaborate with Technical Supervisors, TDs, and Production Technology to support and refine modeling tools, workflows, and asset management processes
Provide input to Production Management and department leadership on asset complexity and progress to support realistic planning and prioritization
Partner with Rigging, Surfacing, CFX, Environments, and Animation to resolve design or technical issues and maintain alignment across departments
Mentor and support character modelers, helping to identify training needs and contributing to performance feedback and skill development
Help foster a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative team culture where artists can do their best work

What You’ll Need

Significant experience as a Character Modeler in feature animation, VFX, or high‑end series, including time in a Lead or Supervisory role
A strong portfolio demonstrating excellence in character modeling (stylized and/or realistic), with clear understanding of anatomy, form, and appeal
Proficiency in modeling and sculpting tools such as Maya and ZBrush (additional tools a plus)
Strong understanding of how character models interact with Rigging, Surfacing, CFX, and Animation within a production pipeline
Great communication and leadership skills, with the ability to give clear, constructive feedback and collaborate effectively across departments
Strong organizational and time‑management skills

This role is based out of Sydney, Australia. Hybrid Role (Minimum of 3 days a week in the office).

NAS benefits can include medical/dental/vision plans, mental health support, retirement programs, and family-forming benefits, paid leave of absence programs, and paid time away programs to be used for vacation and sick paid time off. See more detail about our benefits here .

Inclusion is a Netflix value and we strive to host a meaningful interview experience for all candidates. If you want an accommodation/adjustment for a disability or any other reason during the hiring process, please send a request to your recruiting partner.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity, recognizing that diversity builds stronger teams. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service.
