We have an awesome line-up of movies and entertainment projects ahead, and we’re growing the team to support what’s coming next.

- Oversee prototypes, sales samples and pre-production samples
- Book and manage QC inspections and lab testing
- Provide accurate job costings using Zinc’s costing platforms

What we’re looking for

Experience with licensed products, consumer goods, promotional products or entertainment merchandise would be a bonus, but what matters most is strong production judgement, supplier confidence and the ability to stay calm when there are a lot of moving parts.
If you love product, production, detail and the world of entertainment, we’d love to hear from you.
