Head of Post Production
Represent makes launch films for tech companies, from YC startups to Series B teams. We turn complex products into stories people understand and want to watch.
You'll lead post-production: keep projects moving, make editors better, and review every cut before a client sees it. This is a leadership role, not an “editing” role.
We are looking for a person who has done editing at the world-class level and is now looking to scale their expertise and lead others to do the same.
Your responsibilities
Projects: Take over from producers and run post end to end: edit, color, sound and motion. Producers stay the client contact, so your focus is the work and the team.
People: Brief editors and colorists, plan workloads, and find and develop new editors.
Quality: Review every cut. Give specific notes on story, pacing, color and sound.
Pipeline: Keep project files, delivery specs, QC and handoffs clear and consistent.
About 80% of your time goes to leading. You’ll still edit the rest, and mostly you’ll make everyone else’s edits better.
Your skill set
5+ years in hands-on post-production (video editing, sound design, basic color correction, motion)
2+ years leadership experience (specifically managing editors) and owning schedules and reviews.
You’ve done the editing work yourself at an exceptional level. Lead by example. A strong editing portfolio and an eye for what makes a cut work.
Enough color, sound and motion knowledge to brief specialists and judge their work.
Ability to write clear written briefs and feedback, and fluent English.
The confidence to make decisions and flag problems before deadlines slip.
You’ve led editors before. Your briefs are clear enough that editors can start without a call, and your notes make their next cut better too. You can watch 40 minutes of footage and find the 90 seconds that matter. You can explain why a hook lands too late or a scene drags, and help the editor fix it.
