Creative Director, Post Production WANTED
High taste required. High accountability expected.
🗂 Role: Creative Director, Post Production
Location: Los Angeles Arts District (On-site)
Salary: $105K - $140K USD per year + Comprehensive Benefits
The Role
This is a high-ownership creative leadership role where you set the bar for quality, protect it under pressure, and develop leaders who understand both performance and aesthetics. When teams ask, "Is this actually good?" you're the one they turn to. You'll partner closely with the VP of Post-Production, sharing ownership of creative vision, systems, and day-to-day standards; leading with conviction while collaborating to make those standards stick.
What You'll Do
You'll define what good looks like. Not as a set of subjective preferences, but as a teachable point of view. Then you'll build the systems to make it stick: reference libraries, rubrics, training programs, leveling assessments, hiring filters, feedback processes.
You'll identify where tools, including AI and what we're building in-house, can create leverage without sacrificing craft. This isn't a role where you have opinions and other people implement them. You'll architect the systems yourself and own whether they work.
You'll also hold the line. Standards only matter if someone enforces them. Some people will rise to meet the bar. Some won't make it. You'll need backbone.
This is a building role, not a maintenance role. There's no playbook. You're creating a function that doesn't exist yet. That means you have real authority to shape something from scratch.
What Success Looks Like
Your taste becomes the organization's taste, not because you're in every room, but because you've built systems that transfer your judgment to others.
Quality becomes consistent. Editors make fewer bad calls. The work gets better and the iterations get faster.
Hiring improves. You're filtering for instinct, not just speed. The team's baseline rises.
You've built something that outlasts you-training, rubrics, standards that live beyond any single person.
We move fast. Volume is real. You'll need to know when craft matters and when good enough is good enough. Preciousness won't survive here. But "fast" and "good" aren't opposites. Better taste means fewer iterations to find what works. Craft is efficiency.
