We are looking for a Senior Post Producer with the operational skill and steady judgment to deliver every project on time and on budget while holding craft to the highest level, even when time and budget are working against it.
This role is the operational backbone of the post-production department, owning schedules, staffing, budgets, and workflows from editorial kickoff through final delivery. You will work directly with editors, producers, finishing artists, and creative leadership on one side, and with clients on the other, and you will be trusted to keep both groups confident that the work is on track. The strongest candidates for this role have earned that kind of trust before: clients who ask for them by name, and teams who want to be staffed on their projects.
You do not need to be the most senior technical expert in the building but you should be highly organized. You need enough working knowledge of post-production tools and processes to plan realistically, staff correctly, catch problems early, and speak credibly to both internal teams and clients about what a project needs.
What You'll Own
Post-production leadership: Oversee projects from editorial kickoff through final delivery.
Staffingandresourcemanagement: Own staffing and resourcing for the department. Build and maintain a strong network of freelance editors, assistant editors, motion designers, colorists, and finishing artists, and know who is right for which project based on creative need, timeline, and budget. Forecast staffing needs ahead of time rather than reacting to gaps.
Clientandstakeholderrelationships:Serve as a trusted day-to-day contact for clients throughout the post-production process.
Financial management: Build and manage project budgets, estimates, reconciliations, and forecasts.
Contract negotiation and oversight: Own the negotiation of post-production contracts and freelance agreements, ensuring terms protect the department on cost, usage rights, and delivery obligations while keeping timelines and working relationships intact.
Workflow and process.Bring a highly organized approach to all stages of post production, ingestion to delivery workflows, with a solid working understanding of each.
Experience
• 8+ years of post-production producing or management/mentorship experience within an agency, production company, network, studio, or brand environment.
• Highly organized, with a proven ability to run multiple simultaneous projects, budgets, timelines, and stakeholder groups at once, without losing track of any of them.
• A real freelance network already in place: editors, motion designers, colorists, and finishing artists you can call on with confidence.
• Working knowledge of post-production tools and platforms, sufficient to plan, staff, and troubleshoot effectively: Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition), LucidLink, Frame.io, Microsoft Office, and familiarity with AI-enabled creative and production tools.
• Working understanding of media management, offline-to-online workflows, color pipelines, and audio post, enough to speak credibly about all of them even where you rely on specialists for execution.
• Strong financial fundamentals, with real experience building and owning project budgets.
• Experience negotiating vendor, freelance, or production contracts, with an eye for protecting cost, usage rights, and delivery terms.
• Fluency in Portuguese or Spanish is a plus.
What You'll Get
We offer a competitive salary, a comprehensive employer subsidized benefits package which includes group medical, dental and vision coverage, Health Savings Account, 401k retirement plan with annual company match, employee wellness, commuter benefits and cellular phone allowance, generous paid time off and employee volunteer day to encourage social responsibility giving time to the non-profit, community service or charity of your choice. Salary is dependent on experience but ranges from: $115,000- $130,000. All candidates must have the ability to work in the US; we are unable to sponsor any work visas for this role.
