The Head of CG is a strategic role, supporting the Heads of Departments to design and develop standardised processes for work across all departments while developing and maintaining DNEG quality standards. Working with our Head of Departments and CG Supervisors, you’ll ensure the right people, tools, technology and workflows are in place to continuously deliver the highest quality of work for our clients.
