About The Role
Our client is a fast‑growing digital media company producing high‑volume video content across multiple platforms. We are looking for an experienced Post Production Supervisor to lead the post‑production team, manage edit workflows end‑to‑end, and ensure every piece of content is delivered on time, on brand, and at the highest quality.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the full post‑production team: staff editors, freelance editors, assistant editors, a post‑production coordinator, GFX designers, and vendors for color, finishing, and sound mix.

Assign edits to editors based on capacity and fit, and coordinate freelance/vendor bookings by submitting requests to the COO.

Create and maintain edit timelines and milestones for each project and ensure deadlines are met.

Provide each editor with a video treatment before starting and facilitate kick‑off calls with creative leads when needed.

Monitor each edit through its lifecycle, flagging delays, timeline slips, or creative direction changes that require schedule revisions.

Hold regular team meetings to track workload, address challenges, and surface department concerns to leadership.

Attend weekly cross‑departmental meetings to provide post‑production perspective on upcoming shoots and releases.

Ensure all videos are properly sound‑mixed, color‑finished, QC’d, and uploaded to the correct platform ahead of release.

Oversee and co‑manage the company’s Airtable system to track edits, brand sponsorships, merchandise/promotional throws, and series trailers.

Publish video content to all company platforms alongside the coordinator and assistant editors, ensuring coverage is scheduled during any team absences.

Manage all in‑house post‑production equipment, alerting Operations when equipment needs replacement and recommending upgrades.

Manage all data and video storage on the company server and advise on storage/archival solutions.

Onboard post‑production team members to all relevant platforms: music library, stock footage library, email/Slack groups, and Airtable.

Approve post‑team PTO and appointment requests before final COO sign‑off.

Troubleshoot technical issues for the post team; when necessary, elevate to IT vendor via COO.

Qualifications

Prior experience as a post‑production supervisor, coordinator, or senior editorial role at a TV, film, digital media, or production company; digital media experience or deep knowledge of the field is highly prioritized.

Track record of managing a post‑production team.

Editorial experience across digital, film, commercial, or TV content.

Excellent communication skills; comfortable training others, running meetings, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Highly organized with strong scheduling, prioritization, and deadline management skills.

Proficient in Premiere Pro, Adobe Suite, and standard post‑production editorial workflows.

Familiarity with Airtable or similar project‑tracking tools.

Ability to incorporate on‑screen GFX and stock imagery in a fast‑paced content environment.

Remote applicants must have access to a full edit bay with Premiere Pro.
