WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2005, Think Tank Training Centre specializes in the latest software, techniques and technologies that cater to the needs of the film, television and video game industries. Think Tank Training Centre was born out of a passion for sharing industry knowledge with the next generation of digital artists.

Situated in a beautiful heritage building in North Vancouver, Think Tank boasts a 92% job placement in the CG Industry. In 2015, the school was ranked #1 in Canada and #3 in the world for film, TV and game production at the CG Student Awards.  Most recently at the 2018 “The Rookies”, Think Tank was awarded 2nd in visual effects, 3rd in feature animation and 6th in next gen gaming, competing with more than 600 schools worldwide.

A highly creative team, we work hard and play hard. Each of us is an expert at what we do, and we’re committed to supporting each other in a collaborative environment.  We’re all working towards the same goal, and we’re thrilled to be adding a marketing genius to the team. In 2017 we launched Think Tank Online: a platform that is changing the educational CG landscape on a global level.

You’re pumped about the chance to play a key role in our organization, helping to fuel growth for Think Tank Training Centre and making a massive impact to the CG industry globally.  You’re a dynamic self-starter with the ability to work effectively both independently and in cross-functional teams. Comfortable with ambiguity, you’ve got a passion for learning and your entrepreneurial mindset means you’re always looking for ways to do it better. You’re a strong communicator with superior writing and editing skills.  You’re highly organized, analytical, and strategic: you see the big picture and yet you aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.  You take pride in your work and relish being part of every aspect of a project, from idea generation, to reporting analytics.  You can successfully drive projects with minimal guidance, and constructive feedback inspires you to reach further than you thought you could.  Lastly, you boast a strong understanding of performance metrics for communications, have a proven track record of executing successful social media campaigns, and have a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing or the equivalent.
