You’ll need to be fluent in AI tools like Claude to accelerate research, project management, document editing, etc.

An ideal candidate could come from EITHER a background in project management/administration with an interest in film and game development… OR a background in film/video/games with strong skills in project management, spreadsheets, and logistics.
