The role

Freddy Mercury didn't dedicate a song to Barcelona for nothing. But Catalonia is much more than a cosmopolitan city. This community bathed in the Mediterranean has kilometers of beaches, snowy mountains, the strong influence of Modernism, and a charm that transcends borders.
It is for this community full of magic that we are looking for an animation manager. Is it you? Keep reading!
In this position, you will be at the head of a team of animators, so you must not be afraid of organizational tasks. Of course, you will not be alone, but will work alongside your area coordinator.

What you'll do

Your responsibilities will be:
· Implementing the daytime and nighttime activity program (we have teams of 2-12 animators)
· Organizing the animators' schedules
· Reporting information about animation activities to Acttiv
· Following Acttiv's quality policy
· Staying on top of the needs of the animators in your team
· Attending and receiving training provided by the company
· Participating in meetings with other animation managers in your area
· Supervising your team's time tracking
· Training and evaluating your team
· Obtaining positive feedback to improve the establishment's online reputation

Of course, organization is not everything: you will participate in activities and shows, and you will interact with guests from all over the world.
