Runner (entry level role)

1 week ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom DNEG Full time £25,000 - £35,000 per year

Runners at DNEG play a central role in the smooth running of the studio. They support the DNEG team with any facilities-based duties while learning about the company and VFX industry. This is a full-time, 40 hours a week role that will give you the grounding and skills you need to succeed in VFX Production or an Artist role once you move up.

Why be a Runner?
Running is the best way to get your foot in the door at DNEG. All our runners join us with the aim of moving up in the business, managing and supporting VFX production or contributing artistically to our projects.

What is the career route for a Runner at DNEG?
Our Runners are looking to move into VFX Production roles or an Artist role. Starting as a Runner, you will learn about the business from every angle and when the opportunity for growth arises you can then move into a Production Assistant or a Junior Artist role on your first show. Then it's onwards and upwards until your name is in the credits alongside an amazing team of talented people

Once you are promoted, you will work closely with your department and team. Tasks might include event planning, scheduling, managing resources and solving problems, or learning and being mentored by Senior Artists to excel in the basics of your artistic department to eventually have more and more ownership of creative tasks.

Those who aim to pursue a career in VFX will need to have excellent communication skills, be proactive, be able to manage their time accordingly, multi-task, and work well under pressure. This running role will help to strengthen these soft skills

As a Runner, you will work in the facilities department providing front of house support at our reception desk and support the rest of the London DNEG team with facilities-based duties while learning about the company and VFX industry.
