Cool Job Posting: Workflow Storyboard Artist

One of the things lacking in most operations departments, whether it be for animation or Internet web-logging companies, is a good way to improve workflow. Usually management is too concerned with daily quota, operations folks are too busy meeting that quota, and engineering is too disconnected from daily workflow to build a better workflow.

So it's really refreshing to see a job posting at Pixar for a person in charge of inter-departmental workflows. Even more intriguing is that the job involves drawing story boards and making pitches!
