thats fine), and bring positive energy to the production team
- Have at least some skill and/or experience in your field of work (At
least know what your doing) -- guidance and questions are fine, but you shouldn't need your hand held throughout the entire process of something

What Roles We Need
- Group Manager or General Manager
Your role as a GROUP MANAGER is to make sure every member of a specific
group (or groups) have their work, are busy on it, and progression is
being made by them daily. Part of your role will be to monitor and fill
logs on their progression, understand their skills, and assign work to
areas they are actually capable of producing quality work in. Your role
will also require you to write documents sometimes, outlining specific
members roles, read documents from management, listing these roles and
tasks, then distributing roles and work to each member, delegating
leadership on this role. It is not required but a strong bonus that you
know the area you are managing well -- If it is the Art group you are
managing, it would only help you to know how to draw yourself.
Your role as a GENERAL MANAGER is to manage multiple groups as what we
call a "floater" -- they are normally responsible for 3 - 5 - all the
groups on the team, and making sure that every group is working, have
their work, and are fully clear on what they are doing or need to be
doing soon. They are responsible for being the voice and the messenger
of the members of the team -- if a member feels they are not being
heard, the general manager brings their words directly to the director
or project manager. The General Manager is also responsible for issuing
out work, from documents given by Management, and creating work, from
documents given by Management, as well as accepting, reviewing, denying
and/or approving all work members from groups submit, then making sure
that work is sent to the director and project manager. -- Basically,
your job is to stay on top of many or all groups, and keep everything
organized as it moves along.
