Business Development, Canada

SGZ offers game studios two services. In VFX co-development, we take on a defined part of a game's VFX through successive work orders. In senior artist placement, an experienced VFX artist joins the studio's team remotely. In this role, you build SGZ's relationships with game studios across Canada. You find the studios and people our services fit, start the conversation, understand what their productions need, and bring in the SGZ team to scope the work.
