- Troubleshoot problems as they arise and offer solutions.
- Review/QC finished work to ensure the final output meets the original brief, transcripts, delivery specs and brand guidelines.

- Participate in creative brainstorms and support the Heads of Creative Services with developing compelling treatments and ad hoc pitches.
- You will report to the Heads of Creative Services.
Requirements
- Have 3+ years of experience crafting compelling AV content at a creative agency, advertising agency, in-house creative team or post-production house.
- A track record of producing short-form content for diverse marketing and/or publicity campaigns, across multiple social channels and digital mediums (e.g. trailers, online promos, TV spots, junkets, social content, OOH, etc.).
- Have solid project management skills with demonstrable experience running multiple projects and consistently delivering within quick turnarounds.
- You have great creative judgement, with an eye for design layout, motion graphics, editing and sound design. We’d love to see the examples you’re most proud of!
- To provide concise, clear, and actionable creative feedback / direction.
- You are a real team-player, but are also comfortable working independently and owning projects end-to-end.
- Have an exceptional attention to detail, are a fast-learner and don’t shy away from new challenges.
- Comfortable creating post-production quotes and managing basic billing duties.
- You’re multivalent and can confidently work across a varied slate of projects: from a basketball promo, to the motion poster for a theatre show, or a film junket.
- You possess a good understanding of what works across online advertising and social media. You naturally keep up with the latest trends.
- A genuine passion for the entertainment industry and familiarity with film, TV and theatre scene.
- Your strong work ethic is admirable. Someone who take pride in the quality of their work, finishing projects with accurate outputs and meeting deadlines.
Desirable
Previous experience producing content for entertainment is a strong bonus.
A background in project management or account management, desirable.
