Career Fajner served as deputy managing director for production financing and business development at Alphanim.
After Alphanim was acquired by Gaumont in 2008 and renamed Gaumont Animation, Fajner left the company and founded Superprod alongside Clément Calvet in 2010. Fajner first met Clément Calvet at Alphanim in the late 1990s, where the two worked for more than a decade on approximately 20 animated productions, including XDucks, Mona the Vampire, and Franklin.

Projects associated with the studio include Lassie, Netflix's Spirit Rangers, Batwheels, Geronimo Stilton, Heroic Football, Paddington, and Go! Go! Cory Carson. He also produced animated feature films including Song of the Sea, Cafard, and White Fang.
Under the leadership of Fajner and Clément Calvet, Superprod Group expanded internationally with operations in Paris, Angoulême, Milan, Los Angeles, and London, growing from two employees at its founding to approximately 400 employees by 2021. During this period, the company also expanded beyond animation into live-action film and television production, music rights management, and international distribution.
Production approach Fajner has described animation as a collaborative art form that depends heavily on in-person interaction and studio culture. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, he supported bringing employees back into shared creative spaces while maintaining some workplace flexibility.
Regarding artificial intelligence in animation production, Fajner commented that AI tools could improve efficiency in repetitive production tasks, while stating that "nothing replaces a team of artists, a director and an actor."
Fajner has also emphasized the importance of maintaining in-house production pipelines and integrated studio workflows as part of Superprod's production structure.
