Talent Operations Director at Harbor Picture Company
Olivia Burke
Olivia is the Talent Operations Director at Harbor where she scouts, recruits, mentors, and manages talent at all levels, as well as oversees hiring and onboarding in partnership with key internal stakeholders.
Her focus on creative recruitment was born out of her own passion for filmmaking and design following her graduation with a degree in architecture from USC and time spent studying in Italy, before joining The Mill in Los Angeles. She returned to the East Coast in 2014 to take up a photography residency at The School of Visual Arts, where she completed a project on The Highline entitled Urban Oasis.
Most recently, Olivia was US Talent Acquisitions Lead for Technicolor’s recruitment team, The Focus, where she represented The Mill and Moving Picture Company.
Through her extensive mentorship work, she has provided training workshops for
students and developed internship programs. Her drive for diversity, equality, and
inclusion in the screen-based creative industries has prompted her support for
organizations such as Access VFX, The Animation Project, Reel Works / Media
MKRS + D&AD Shift, and Exceptional Minds.
