Vancouver Job Openings

Industrial Light and Magic is currently hiring for multiple Vancouver job openings across animation, VFX, and studio operations. These roles sit within ILM’s feature animation and visual effects pipeline, covering everything from CG supervision and motion editing to digital matte painting and front-of-house operations. Whether you’re a seasoned VFX artist with feature film production credits or a studio operations professional looking to work inside one of the most recognized visual effects houses in the business, there’s likely a position here worth a look.

About the Role

The ILM Vancouver job openings span several departments, so the day-to-day varies significantly depending on which role you pursue. On the production side, artists and supervisors work within a feature animation and VFX pipeline on projects that demand high-volume output and close collaboration with on-set and post-production workflow teams. The front-of-house and studio operations roles support the facility itself, keeping the physical production environment running for the crews working across these shows.

Key Responsibilities

• Senior Motion Editors and Motion Editors manage and process motion capture data for integration into the feature animation pipeline.
• Senior Feature Animators deliver character performance work at a level consistent with feature film production standards.
• The Generalist Artist for Digital Matte Painting contributes environment and background work that supports the overall look development of animated features.
• CG Supervisors oversee the technical and creative execution of CG sequences, acting as a bridge between artists and production leadership.
• The Front of House and Receptionist role manages visitor experience, internal communications, and day-to-day studio administration for the Vancouver facility.
• All production roles require close coordination with ILM’s broader VFX pipeline, with deliverables tracked against feature production schedules.

What You Bring

• Experience in feature film production or high-end animation at a recognized VFX or animation studio.
• Role-specific software proficiency, which may include tools standard to CG supervision, motion editing, or digital matte painting workflows.
• A credits history that reflects the seniority level of the role you’re applying for.
• Studio operations candidates should have prior experience in a production facility or broadcast environment.
• Some postings are expressions of interest for future consideration, so applicants should review each listing carefully before applying.
